  This page (https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/ ) offers the definition:

  Tags provide a useful way to group related posts together and to quickly tell readers what a post is about. Tags also make it easier for people to find your content. Tags are similar to, but more specific than, categories.

  Here’s the difference from categories:
  http://support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/

  When you ‘tag’ a post, consider that someone may be ‘following’ that tag in the Reader, so it can bring exposure to your post.

  I personally like to use specific and generic tag.

  For example:

  If I had a post about switching from a raw food diet to a mostly cooked vegetarian diet, I may use tags like: raw food diet, diet, health, vegan, nutrition, food… and maybe drop it in the category: Lifestyle

  Hope that answers your question. A lot of people look at tags very definitely …
