I'll try to explain how I use tags.
Using the example of "the puppy store Santa Ana" tag, I agree, not many would do a tag search here on YT for the those particular words unless the person who tagged it that way wants to be able to find that particular thread. Not really useful to YT as a whole but useful to that person. A Google search would find any sites with the words "puppy store" or "puppy" or "store". (BTW, I tagged that thread with flipping & pet flipping. Now if someone looked for either of those, all three recent threads will come up in a tag search.)
Now, if I wanted to see the threads tagged with "carrier" for instance, there are lots of threads tagged with it. That tag is useful to everyone here on YT not just the person that tagged it. A Google search for "carrier" will give you pages upon pages that contain the word & many would be about other topics.
The first word in a string of words is what is found by the Tag Search. When I tag something I try to think of two terms that describe the contents of the thread/post. It's all about the relevance when I tag.
Some tagged threads here on YT do show up when Googled. I think it has to do with the information in the thread. The more we as a community tag, the more those tags will show up in Google searches. |
