November 8, 2012 By DJX 1 Comment

Meta info, or metadata are little descriptions about the information that you write on your articles, in other words, meta info are tags that describe what does the article is about, the name of your blog and the person who writes it, as well as other information related purely with what you write. Sometimes people does not give importance to this information or is difficult for begginers to redact it correctly since not everybody is aware of the importance of this “tags” and thus, not being able to input that kind on information. But meta info is essential to the search engines, even when you don’t see that information, the engines look through that info to determine how useful to the readers your information is. The browsers compare the information of your meta data with the search terms that the user inputs on the engines. Given this, you would want to describe the information on your blog in order to give accurate solutions to the readers and thus getting permanent suscribers.

Keep in mind that if you have a solution for a common problem but you are not able to describe it correctly, people will not get to your site, and thus you won’t have visits to it.

Always look for trends

We have mentioned before how important the keywords are, and your meta info is not excluded of that matter. If you always look for the most important keywords that are compatible with your content, you can include them in the meta tag, this will help you to be positioned in a the top results by the engines.

Don’t over do it.

Over stuffing your meta tags is not something that we can recommend, even if you think that you will get more results by doing that, you will only make the engines not to rank you higly, due to the difficult of index too many words.

At the beggining it can be difficult for you to find the correct tags for your articles, but as you keep using them, you will understand how it works, so keep in mind this quick guide and you will master it in no time. This is just a n introduction on how meta tags works and what you shouldn’t do. But if you want to know how can you use the meta info and how they can help you improve the traffic on your blog by applying seo.

The correct use of blog tags

November 6, 2012 By DJX 2 Comments

The correct use of blog tags is something that not all of the people can manage. Blog tags are similar to blog categories, they help to label your content, but you have to treat them differently,though. Mistaking the use of categories and tags is what make the users not get all the benefit that they can offer you combined.

Blog tags classifies the information of your entries with especific criteria, differently from your blog categories. To have a grasp of what you should do to do a correct use of the blog tags, we are going to give you simple steps that can be generally applied when tagging your content.

Match your tags with your information

Tags are meant to let the users search all the content related with a certain word, like a reference on a book, thats why is important to match properly those reference words with the article that you want to publish. This way you’ll be helping the reader and yourself to find the information in a quick way.

Don’t forget what you tag!

Sometimes when you are editing an entry on your blog, you may forget what tags you have already created for previous publications, this can lead you to create nwe ones that can be similar to the old ones, in other words, you would be duplicating the tags and this will just confuse the reader and it will take more time to get to the solutions that they are looking for. So, pay attention when applying the tags.

Avoid the unnecessary tags

It’s true that you want to have a lot of readers interested in what you have to say, in order to make your blog popular, but using tags unrelated to your content is not the way that you are going to get there. By keeping the tags as simple and detailed as possible, the readers will notice that it’s effective to always look through the articles on your blog, not having to search among empty articles and getting the solutions that they need.

Tags can help you a lot when applying them correctly,it may be difficult for you in the beggining since it takes time to get used to tag your content, and learning which words are appropiate to “describe” your content with tags.
