Thread: Are You Using 'Tags' on Your Blog?

  1. Default Re: Are You Using 'Tags' on Your Blog?

    It's funny you bring up my Habitat blog entry. After I wrote the post in this thread, I started thinking about the post I wrote in this other thread. I don't think Realtors are searching for the phrase "Tri City Wa Shopping!" That entry has gotten 170 hits and it's only been indexed for about a week.

    I can see where you are coming from in terms of tagging for visitors, as opposed to solely SEO. Good discussion. I'm swayed over to the "visitors side" away from the "seo side" of tagging benefits.

    In any event, in keeping with the thread topic, tagging is a good thing!

    Great Morgan,

    Just curious as to where the visitors to this blog of mine:

    http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...yer/2136/show/

    Or this one:

    http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...yer/2152/show/

    Neither had tags as both were put out before you added the tags option.

    Good discussion. Now, it sounds like folks are definitely tagging...so, what tag plugin are you using (if UTW, what version of wordpress are you on?)?

    Morgan,

    Just curious, will you be adding the functionality of adding tags for the static blog pages as well??

    Smuck, the overwhelming majority of readers and those commenting on my blog are consumers, not realtors. I've had just a few realtors ever comment on my blog but over 100 consumers no doubt have....They find the articles from their longtail searches.

    No we will not be adding tags to static pages - The rationale is - we created REW blogs so that not only would they be a great blogging platform, but people (Like yourself) could use them as pretty much a standalone website. The tagging is all about reading current or related articles, not static pages (Which tend to be more self promotional and is totally fine because the nature of your static pages can be that way)

    You did just give me an idea though I will create a snippet or RSS reader for your static pages where you can source posts from your blog posts into your static pages - I do that on www.jimolenbush.com (Check out the bottom links to his blog) - makes sure relevant categories get constant link juice

    ok, good reasons, more wanted to know if it was happening or not. Not a issue.
