Tag and Ping an eCourse Part 1

An Introduction to Tag and Ping

Every web site owner knows how important it can be to have a good
ranking with the major search engines, but this ranking can be
difficult, and expensive, to obtain. There is a better way,
however, to drive traffic to your site, and it does not rely on the
search engines Tagging is a great way to drive traffic and find
targeted visitors, and it relies not on search engines, but on the
many new social networking sites that are changing the nature of
the internet.

Using these kinds of bookmarking sites is a great way to maximize
traffic, but it is important to know how to use these sites to
their maximum benefit. If you simply tag blog posts without a
strategy you will not be able to obtain the exposure and the
targeted traffic you are aiming for, so it is important to
carefully research the subject before getting started.

This research begins with a thorough understanding of how the
Technorati site works, how the search engines work and a careful
analysis of the results obtained in a couple of test blog posts. A
thorough analysis will likely lead you to the conclusion that
tagging is a powerful tool indeed.

In order to understand the power of tagging it is important to
understand the concept of social bookmarking. Chances are you are
already familiar with the concept, but if not, social bookmarking
is simply a way for users to store a list of their bookmarks, or
favorite site, online.

The advantages of this technology are obvious from the user's point
of view. Instead of having their favorites limited to a file on
their own personal computer, those favorites are available no
matter where the user is, whether it is an internet café, a
friend's house, work, school or anywhere else. In addition, users
are able to use tags to access their bookmarks, meaning that they
are able to assign a single bookmark to several different
categories.

In addition to these technological benefits, social bookmarking has
a social aspect as well. Users are able to easily share their
favorite sites, and other user are able to easily find those sites
others have already determined to be the best. Instead of spending
hours searching for the best movie site, the best business site or
the best news site, users can look to social networks for a list of
the best sites.
