Thread: the tags field...

I for one don't really use the tag field on posts.

Why should I ?

on wordpress there is a nice little plugin that gets suggested tags from yahoo.

Any thoughts on that ?

What are the benefits of me adding tags manually ?

I don't see all the fuss over tags, anything the user can control is just something else to fill searches with spam

well as was pointed out to be ... tags allow deep linking ...

So I understand them. Do I agree with them from the end users point of view ... no idea ... I only fill them out on my blog posts from time to time cus it gets automagically added to the Meta Keywords I think if I do

If you don't set tags manually on your posts I've a script running every few hours that will automatically tag the posts for you.

The tags are a very handy for categorising posts on a topic basis

The other thing with tags is that they help for pulling in deep crawls from the likes of Googlebot
