Adding tags to your wordpress posts can help search engines with categorizing your content so adding tags can help with ranking your website.

In addition to this it gives your readers another way to navigate their way around your website.

I have personally found that since using tags my rankings have improved, with some of my tags ranking on the first page of Google!

I have also seen how my users use tags to move around my website which means firstly that you have more of a chance of conversions and getting a lead, but in addition when users spend more time on your website and read more than one page this lowers your bounce rate and adds even more reason for the search engines to rank your website higher.

Adding tags just takes a few seconds of your time and is well worth the time!

If you are keen to know more about ranking your website check out these checklists:

With all my tags I have been, putting ,between,words and with a few words I have been-putting-between-each-word. Yet you do not seem to be using either with any of yours.

No I just add the tags like I add keywords, so type your tag as normal and then press enter :)

When you are naming images and videos then name them with "-" in between each word: just-like-this

When you add keywords to your SEO meta data then you have a comma in between each keyword.

Does that help you Tom?

YES I hope. I now have to go back through a hundred blogs not only the tags but also the meta as well. IT IS NEARLY 8PM here in Australia. You must be a night owl over there. Thanks for your time, from Tom.

Wow!! I love the accent kiddo. Your voice sounds elegant to a good ole boy Alabama red-neck teddy bear.

I wrote a blog on this due to being PM'ed so much about utter confusion with Categories and tags. Please take a look and consider teaming up with a silly little bear and turning the thing into a video training. lol

PS. It will be our remake of, "Beauty and the Beast, (or perhaps.....Bear)."
