What is the use of having technorati tags?

    I have seen in many blogs, all have technorati tags below posts, some even have tag clouds in the sidebars, of their wordpress blog. I wanted to know, whether, it makes a "considerable" difference or not? Thanks for telling:eek:

    What's a tag?

    Think of a tag as a simple category name. People can categorize their posts, photos, and links with any tag that makes sense.

    :)

    IMO,it's a fashion as well,so people do that :p

    Yes, It increases your overall keyword popularity which is helpful for SEO with keyword stuffing as well as when someone searches anything in technoarti site , it will most probably show your site in the top ten. Hope this helps!

    tagging your posts with a plugin like tag warrior helps.

    you'll rank higher in technorati.

    use socialmeter.com and check your links from the various social bookmarking sites.

    Ok, that means, after each post, there should be something like this... Technorati Tags:...................
    Delicious Tags:..................
    Is this what you are trying to say?
    Thanks.

    Hi, thanks for the url, but "sociable" seems to be a plugin for "bookmarking buttons", i.e. it will add the various social bookmarking buttons below the post, but it does not, create tags..does it? correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

    You will get slightly higher traffic by tagging.
    Your link will appear in the tag page when you link to it.
