Building Search Engine Tag Trails - Conclusion
(Page 4 of 4 )
Overall, to carry out this strategy, you need to use good judgment when you are setting up your tags. This means that you probably want to do it yourself, and not hire a service or that tech savvy college kid down the street to do it.
Think about it: nobody knows more about your site than you do -- and presumably, you're setting it up because you're an expert on your topic (or at least a dedicated amateur). You know the jargon used by others with the same interests. The same may not be true of someone you hire to do it.
It can't be said often enough: doing this right requires an in-depth knowledge of the site and its contents. It may be an annoyance, but you should do it yourself.
Now that you have an idea of how to tag your site, we have to talk about another aspect of tagging. When you tag a site, unless it is a blog, many people think that tagging is a one-time deal. That is not the truth at all. If you expect your site to grow, its tags will grow with it.
For sites of all kinds, the job of tagging will need to be checked and re-checked as time goes on and your site evolves. You may find that this allows you to add tags as you expand, or that as you go in a new direction you must drop certain tags. This is only natural.
So, the time to end the chat has come and now you can go out into the world as a more intelligent and more strategic tagger. Go forth and bring your site to new heights of popularity and new audiences of keyword searches. I can't wait to come across your site on a search.
