What Is The Difference Between Tags And Keywords? | WhatBuddy

Keywords are actually a part of the content and are used to identify what the content is all about. On the other hand, tags are just placed by the creator of the content to describe what the content is and what it relates to. It may appear on the same page as the content, but it is not a part of it.

Keywords are everywhere.,while Tags are seen mostly in blogs or sites that organize their contents as distinct pages or articles.

1. Keywords are actually part of the content but not tags

2. Keywords are seen in all web content while tags are seen mostly in blogs

What Are Keywords?

Keywords are used by search engines to identify what your blog and your blog articles are about. A search engine knows what terms are highly searched by users, and looks for those words and phrases on web pages. The search engine uses this information (in addition to other, more complicated algorithms) to assign a particular blog or website a page rank. This is where “search engine optimization” comes in. If you optimize an article on your blog with a particular keyword, the search engine will be able to pick up it and will hopefully assign your article a decent page rank for that particular keyword.

What Are Tags?

Tags are self-assigned “labels” that you can use to categorise the posts on your blog. For example, if your blog’s niche is puppies, you might have a tag for “puppy diet” and another tag for “puppy exercise.” For all posts about puppy food, treats and snacks, you would assign the “puppy diet” tag. For all posts about puppy exercise and playing, you would assign the “puppy exercise” tag.
