What are blog tags and why are they important?

A: We hear this question a lot. Think of blog tags as the keywords for your blog.

Depending on what blog platform you're using, there are a number of ways that your blog can benefit from specified tags. Some blogs offer plugins such as tag clouds where each tag that has been designated to a blog post will show up in the sidebar, and the most commonly-used tags are in larger font. Most blog platforms also include a page for each blog tag. Why is this important?

Let's say one of your practice areas is auto accidents, and motorcycle accidents is a tag that you frequently use. Every time you make a blog post that includes that tag, it gets added to the page that includes all blog posts including "motorcycle accidents" as a tag, making the chances of your blog being found through search engines greater.
