Improve Google Ranking: Pick Appropriate & Related Tags

I really can proudly say now, that I have improved my Google rankings, because of appropriate and extremely related tags (note: not meta tags, but post tags). Yeap.. those tags, that most of us hide or set to “noindex” (at least I have been doing like that before).

Google now even indexes my pages much more faster. Probably, because of improved tags as well – no other logical explanation.

I will show how I find appropriate and related tags in a second, but now – let me explain why…

…my Google ranking is improved because of tags?

First, picking every time from 5 to 10 new tags gives you thereafter 6-11 new pages (1 is your latest post plus 5-10 tag pages). You have heard, probably, that Google loves sites with a lot of pages, right?

Second, you might be thinking, that those tag pages have duplicate content and they are not supposed to add any value. It can be true, if you don’t have meta tag “canonical”, which says:

“Bots and crawlers from search engines, wait! Do not think that I create duplicate pages!! I just want to make my navigation easier, so that visitors could find needed stuff faster!“

Guess what – bots and crawlers treat this “canonical” meta tag just like that.

How to pick appropriate tags to make Google ranking better?

When you search for the proper title for your new post, you, probably, find several variants and then you pick the best one. But wait.. what about other variants? Too competitive or not that competitive? Don’t think about that – just let them be your tags. You can see that I have done just like that in this post (and in several latest too).

And, believe it or not, sometimes tag pages rank better, than my main post! Why? Because they all have different search competitors.

Therefore, you should also consider to make your tags capitalized, because they should look like common pages, when people see them in search results. Simply treat them like your common posts considering SEO factors.

Tools to improve Google ranking

I use only related searchs, that Google suggests. How you can do that too?

Step 1: Type in your main keyword phrase and click “search options”

Step 2: Switch from “Standard View” to “Related Searches”

Step 3: Pick suggestions for your tags, that relate to your topic

Find the line: Related searches for “improve google ranking”. You can see, that there are lots of variants. They are not random. Google knows what to show you, so why don’t you use it?

That’s it. This will definitely improve your Google ranking. Just try it :)
