But the point I was making is that using tags in a disciplined way is helpful for both readers and the search engines. Cheers, Martin. Sure – you don’t need to use both.

Pretty good explenation there. I don't have categories on my blog though, only tags, but I think that'd be enough ;) Cheers, ~ k <abbr><em>kovshenin´s last blog post..<a href="http://kovshenin.com/archives/wordpress-iphone-plugin-wptouch/" rel="nofollow">Give WordPress the iPhone Look: wpTouch Plugin</a></em></abbr> Looks nice.

Clicking on tags certainly could bring up 'anything goes' if you haven't taken care with your tagging. I recently completed the exercise that I referred to above of reviewing and rationalising the tags on articles on this blog. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome (although I say so myself!). If people click on any of the tags at the bottom of my articles now they will be taken to a list of genuinely related articles. Cleaning up my tags like this also enabled me to change the criteria in my related tags plugin to include at least one common tag. That will improve the relevance of articles that the plugin brings up too. So it was a pain in the butt of an exercise but I'm please with the outcome! That's a very nice theme you have on your blog, BTW, very nice indeed. Cheers, Martin. Hi Joe,

I use tags for seo purposes definitly, but not to show on posts. It' just clutters it up to much for me.

I appreciate the insight of how the use of tags and categories keep my readers on my page longer giving them more to read.
