I kind of knew what tagging was all about, but I realized from reading your post that their is a lot more to it than what I thought. Thanks for the warning about not tagging to much. I was not aware of that at all!

Thanks again Monika for another great post! I knew a little about tagging each posts from some several blogging videos I have watched on the net. I just didn’t know each tag can create an in bound link to my blog. Wow! That is really great. I just started a new blog and currently generating traffic to it, but I’ll be sure to tag all my posts as always.

@ Lifeiscolourful, you can just do a quick search on google for the keyword, “SEO Wordpress Plugin” and that should come with a reliable site to download the plugin. Cheers!

@ Monika: Thanks for clearing up the confusion between incoming links and inbound links.

@ Andrew: Can you share the SEO plugin link. I don’t use any to generate tags as of now.

Nice post Monika. I use anywhere from 5 to 10 tags per post w/ the SEO plugin. I guess I should be careful not to go over 10 to avoid penalization. I really wasn’t sure if too many tags would cause Google to penalize me. Thanks for the suggestion to use “no more than 10 tags” per post! Keep up the good work

@ Kai: you can use both single and multiple phrase tags. Just imagine how people would search for information on Google. Those search terms are what you want to use in your tags. As for filling both. I normally do that but it isn’t necessary if you have the SEO Plugin.

@ Life is Colourful: inbound links are different from incoming links. Tags are bringing incoming links so in this regard categories have nothing to do with it.

categories can help if you set a custom permalink structure as when they contain the keyword, it will help to rank your post better. But the best permalink structure is actually just using /%postname%/ as this will prevent possible penalties from having the keyword in the category and the post.

Hope this helps

Every Tag Counts On Your Quest For Inbound Links…

Did you know what tags are for. I bet some of you have wondered what they actually do and whether they are absolutely necessary when posting blog posts. Actually, tags have a great functionality built into their use….

Monika, you brought up a nice post today. I wonder what’s the major difference between Tag and Category in terms of creating inbound links.

When I chose a category in Wordpress, it automatically creates an internal link and tags do the same. I was thinking how it must have been helping in SEO in wordpress blogs? Could you please explain a little.

I foresee, this might be a question in many wordpress bloggers after they start seeing the “tag” textfield under the post text area. Your reply is appreciated.

I have the SEO plugin thing but I’m not sure if I am using it correctly. I also realize after reading this post that you don’t necessary have to fill up both the built-in wordpress tags and the plugins..
Should I use single words for the tags or it’s ok to have a combination of 1-2 words per tag?
