Simply put, a blog tag is a word or phrase that describes a blog post. They are an easy way to attach “labels” to your content and link similar articles together, and are typically one to three words.
The best way to choose your tags is by using the keywords from the keyword research that you did when writing the post. If you haven’t done keyword research, then look at the words or phrases from your post and pick the terms that describe it the best. Also, look for terms that are unique to the post.
What are blog tags for?
Why do I need a tag on my WordPress blog?
A WordPress tag can be used to group together content around much smaller topics that don’t deserve to be categories. WordPress allows you to create posts without tags, but not without a category. Each WordPress post must be assigned to a Category, and tags are optional.
What does duplicate content mean on a blog?
Duplicate content happens when Google finds different paths to the same content on your site. For instance, the same post on your blog can be accessed via the main post page, category, archives – by month, day, year, whatever, etc. We the readers understand that it’s still the same article and have no problem finding it different ways.
You’ll find them on the right-hand side under the ‘Document’ settings. You can also go to Posts » Categories and Posts » Tags to add new categories and tags. For more about the process of adding categories and tags, check out our explanations of What is a category? and What is a tag? for help and guidance.
