    This is a great video.

    However, I’m curious as to how you solve the duplicate content issue with tags, that is if you post your article under a category and then choose a tag, which version are you going to tell the search engines to index. I organize my sites strictly using categories and don’t use tags for this very reason but would like to know your thoughts.

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for sharing this. What I am actually missing is where you find the tags. I mean do you use the google keywordtool and use keywords from there? Is there some kind of blueprint you follow for finding the right tags?

    And did you suggest to do some backlinking for your tag pages as well?

    Regards,

    Gio

    Great video guys! One question. In WordPress, how much weight should we give tags in the XML sitemap? More than categories?

  • Bernhard

    Hi!

    Me too, I’m a newbie to internet marketing (of 3 months, I started with Ed Dale at the 30DC) and am learning from the pros (like yourselves) to use tags from the very start.

    Really good video, I think you produce some great material, maybe I’ll be able to afford some of your stuff when I’ve earned some money!

    Great post Tim. I use tags on all my posts and in all my web 2.0 sites like Squidoo, Hubpages etc.

    Guys,

    Should have made it a bit clearer in the video that squidoo actually do not index their group tags pages, unlike wordpress or hubpages. I was showing you where they were on squidoo but didn’t make this clear.

    But tags are no less relevant for squidoo because they are how other squidoo visitors find your page, so you should certainly still be using them.

    However you probably won’t be finding many squidoo tag pages ranking well in google like you will wordpress and hubpages tag pages (that was a mouthful).

    Cheers

    Incredible.

    I had no idea it was that simple.

    Such a powerful concept and I’ve never used it before. Will be from now on.

    Thanks
