    re: Assigning Categories and Tags
    This forum thread also contains useful advice for assigning categories and tags to your posts. It’s of critical importance to note that search spiders are programmed to detect keywords in the text ie. post content. If you create titles, sub-titles, and assign categories and tags containing keywords to your posts, and the search spiders do not find they same keywords in the text, then they COUGH! and the post will appear waaaaaayyyy back in the SERPS (search engine page results.)
