Importance of tags in blog posts

[venkatweetz]

HI guys,

        I have some doubts about adding tags in posts. Recently I created one post in my blog and adding tags in that post, But one of my friends told, Don't add tags in the post, So anyone gives suggestions, adding tags in posts is useful or not.

Let's say one of your practice areas is auto accidents, and motorcycle accidents is a tag that you frequently use. Every time you make a blog post that includes that tag, it gets added to the page that includes all blog posts including "motorcycle accidents" as a tag, making the chances of your blog being found through search engines greater.

Before we answer, it will be great if you ask your friend that why he said don't add tags in the post!

Meta Keyword and Meta Description tags are no longer used in the algorigthm.

The keyword tag is useful only as a place to record the keywords you're targeting so your SEO team can be sure the rest of the page is focused on those words. It has no external use at all.

The description tag is very useful, though not for SEO. If it's well formatted, Google will show it when they show your URL in their SERPs. So, if you write something compelling there, people are more likely to click.

The title and H1 tags remain far and away the most important tags for SEO.

Your best bet is to
1. Put your keyword somewhere in your URL
http://mywebsite.com/keyword

2.Put your keyword in the page title
<title>Audacious Bagels and Keywords.</title>

3. Put your keyword in the H1
<H1>Fresh keywords at your table in 20 minutes or less.</H1>

If you use folders, don't repeat keywords from the URL in the folder-name
You can repeat keywords in the folder in a subfolder.

Use of H1 and H2 Tags are very important from my personal experience. They positively helps in better seo results.



The Heading structure of your website pages is one of the most important features of on-page SEO techniques. It specifies which parts of your website page content are important, and how they are work on search engine.

Let’s clear this with more examples-

1 - H1 text is usually the largest text on the page, and serves as the title for that page’s content.

2.The most essential things of heading on the webpage should be the H1.

3.There is normally only one H1 for Good seo on any page,You should use it in title only with your keywords.

4.Sub-headings should be H2’s, sub-sub-headings should be H3’s, etc. and most importantly try to insert your keywords in these heading for better seo results.

5.Each heading should include valuable keywords, if not, it’s a worthless heading.

Here you can use Heading structure like this..

H1: Page or Blog’s name

H2: Your blog’s or page tagline.Use this in sub-headings. You can use keywords from google suggestions and use them in your H2 to achieve better seo ranking.

H3: It is used for sub-headings or sub-sub heading,where we need to prioritize content according to the context.

H4: related content in the sidebar, like the heading of an “about” widget.

H5: Unrelated headings in your sidebar, footer, etc.

Tags will help your blog to come up on top when such related keywords were used in Search Engine, other than that tags wont affect in ranking factor it wont be considered as ranking signals.
It is good to use the tags so it will increase search results of your blogs or even any website pages

It's good to use of tags. I'd say tags means notice. If you use third party blogging platforms, for example, (name.wordpress.com), then in this platform a tag is used as a link format i.e. (name.wordpress.com/tagword1-tagword2) and interestingly, this link is also indexed on search engines.

Meta Keyword and Meta Description labels are never again utilized in the algorithm.
The catchphrase tag is helpful just as a place to record the watchwords you're focusing on so your SEO group can make sure whatever remains of the page is centered around those words. It has no outside use by any means.
The portrayal tag is exceptionally valuable, however not for SEO. On the off chance that it's very much designed, Google will demonstrate to it when they demonstrate your URL in their SERPs. Along these lines, on the off chance that you compose something convincing there, individuals are bound to click.
The title and H1 labels stay by a wide margin the most essential labels for SEO.
