Are you also confused about this technical term and really don't understand how to apply this in your blog posts? Ok, we are in the same situation! Although it is complicated, it is an effective way for our website to achieve a higher ranking in the search engine.
I don't have a technical mind so let's try to figure this out in such a basic way.
A Technorati Tag refers to the keywords that are used to describe a blog post, events, images and links. It serves as a caption, a simple explanation or a short phrase of what the topic or content is all about. In Blogger, labels work like tags. This helps a searcher to find articles, photos, websites and videos in the web.
For example, my post is about "Parenting". In this case, I will use tags like "parents", "children", "behavior", "family" and "experience".
How To Use Technorati Tags?
In the 'edit post area', where you usually edit the content of your post, you can do the tagging manually.Technorati tags are not case-sensitive, meaning, it doesn't matter if you used capital letters or not. Just take note of the html codes below. I will use "Parenting" as an example.
If you want to tag more than 1 word, just put (+) between the words. See the example html codes below using tags "Parenting Guide".
You can also make the tags invisible to your readers but still being tagged on Technorati. You only need to leave it blank. However, if you are planning on doing this, I advise that you read their TOS first. See the sample codes of Invisible Tag below.
After tagging, you need to publish it and ping technorati.
Note:
1. Tagging a blog (known as Listing) is different from tagging an individual post in a blog.
2. Avoid Tag Spamming - having too many tags in one post, which are irrelevant to the content or topic. Though you are trying to drive more traffic to your sites, there is also a possibility for your sites to be banned.
