SEO Experiment with Tags continued

Jan 29th, 2009

Last week I wrote an article on how to improve search engine ranking with tags, and as an example I used the tag 'fresh yogurt drinks' in the post. Only few days after, the tag page is ranking on first page of Google for 'fresh yogurt drinks', although the tag page itself does not contain any mention of the word at all. It ranks purely based on title and URL. Based on a smart note from Ivan, I decided to even more enhance the tag page by adding more 'fuel to the fire'.

Often overlooked, and sometimes misunderstood, tags can be significant source of search engine traffic if used properly. In my experience, search hits landing on tag pages can attribute to as much as one third of all search engine visitors for a site. Why are Tags so good ? Quite simply, tags automatically generate new content for you, which can be indexed and ranked, thus also receive search engine traffic.
