Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Meta keywords do not matter to search engines anymore.  Use meta keywords to tell your competitors exactly what keywords you are going for When I do a wordpress blog I use tags to describe whatever the post is about.  A category would be a broad category, whereas a tag could be 10 words you'd use to describe the post in detail (for example...a post about panama city in March you'd expect to see tags like...college, spring break, panama city, florida, beach, ocean, march).  Many times those tags will end up being the keywords you are focusing on for that page, if you developed your content well.

Hi Kandice, Check out https://seogadget.co.uk/inspiring-sitemap-diagrams/ There are some fantastic tools listed on there. Though I know all of them require a fair bit of work to get exactly what you want. Visio is impressive, though not online (nor free!), but it is fairly straight forward to produce good looking visual sitemaps, it'll even connect straight to the site, suck in the sitemap.xml and then plot it for you. Happy reading! Regards Aran

Hi Kandice, Personally, I don't use tags on blogs. Why? They are unnecessary and could confuse search engines. In my opinion a blog post needs: author pages category pages if you are able to post every day, or more, then your teasers appearing on the category pages will be OK. But with less regular updates, I would recommend using the Excerpts feature on WordPress so your category pages contain unique content that differs from the main blog teasers. With your author pages, which are needed to attempt to appear in Google News and/or get rich snippets in Google SERPs (unless you send a rel=author tag to the About page on a single author blog) that have the potential to display author images in the results; I would recommend only showing the titles of previous posts.The above tactics ensure you avoid potential duplicate content issues where you lose control of the page that will get links / be shared / appear in the results.Basically given these needs, why include tags that could risk losing control of the above?
