The importance of tags
One of the big things I see a lot of people ignore is tags. Tags have been integrated into the main WordPress install for the last few versions.
Tags gives you some increased internal linking on your blog and another page of content for the search engines to index. This can help you get double listings in the search engines for your targeted keywords.
Yesterday when checking two new blogs that I installed last week it was quite revealing to see that the tag pages were drawing the majority of the visitors. This will change as the blog ages and I do more linking to the actual pages but was quite interesting to see on a brand new blog that the tag pages generated the initial traffic as they ranked higher than the content itself.
This is just one of the topics that we will be discussing on our free WordPress SEO Call – Wednesday at 7 pm edt. You do need to register to attend.
