Trying to understand Flash Games Websites – Tagging

    I would like to know how important the tags are that are visible to the public that lay under neath the game playing. Are these helpful to the website more or do they get placed into the search engines as well?

    I understand categories and the purpose of those.

    But it seems WordPress allows too many areas that can become confusing. Such as the “behind the scenes area” not viewable to the public. This also has a description and another area for “Keywords”. Is this keyword section doing all the work to get the website in the search?

    I would appreciate help,for I’m just going to test the waters for now and see what route really works. I would just like to be pointed in the correct direction before I play the waiting game of finding out which route was the correct route.

    Thank You!

    Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking and has not done so since at least 2009. See Matts Cutts of Google state that in the video http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

    Well I’m not just focusing on google. It would be silly to focus on just one search engine. Other search engines still rank your website so placing Meta Keywords in your site is helpful. At least I feel it is.

    Also note that the after 60 days Tags assigned to WordPress.COM blogs no longer appear on the WordPress.COM categories and tags pages.

    The bottom line here is if you never tagged a single post it would make no difference to search engines. I recommend that you learn hot to use words in your text effectively and avoid keyword stuffing at all costs.

    I understand applying a successful description area that coverts into tags. Which I always apply to any content I place on the internet. I know that keyword stuffing is not allowed,for most it just confuses the engines to begin with.

    I just wanted to know what purpose those Tags that visible to the public under neath the game serve purpose too? The website,the search engines or both? You keep comparing this to a blog and what traffic it won’t receive eventually from wordpress.com site. Which my traffic doesn’t flow from.

    I thought I would ask here first. But it still isn’t cleared up. I plan on speaking with a seo specialist about it to get a better understanding and apply what I do know will work to be found on all search engines. Thanks again!

    This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/
    WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.

    Tags on posts allow visitors who click them east access to all other posts in the blog assigned the same tag.
