thank you for more info.. steemian

With this unexpected comment, I was able to feel how genuinely you think of readers.
Thank you for not only the insightful post, but also the sincere care that you gave.

Indeed. The old days where a million tags could be added to a single post. #rockstar ??? #badass ??? You're hilarious, my friend.

Definitely a #steemit-rockstar

You've Hit the nail on the head. Great explanation and super useful for new members. Yes this place is growing to quick, so quick that even the website can't keep up. Already two crashes. I will start using your advice and start with the right #tag for my future post. Thanks for taking the time and we very much appreciated your efforts and we hope you are rewarded for doing so. Great content.

thanks mate :-)

it very useful content thank steemit

Thanks for explaining :) Really useful

Great idea about building up a new tag now, while it's still relatively easy.

Extremely useful post. I've been tagging my posts out of habit but hadn't considered many of these things. I also was unaware of the hashtag method of tagging.

Wow, very nice write up. A must read for bloggers!

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to steemit and plan to share content mainly on deep learning and AI. Looking through https://steemit.com/tags, I didn't see any tags that my particular topics of interest would fit into very well. Now after reading your post, I have a better understanding of how tagging works in steemit and have created the #deep-learning tag.

One question though, the link I referenced above shows all of the current "trending tags." Is there a way to view all tags that have been used on steemit?

Nice article, appreciate the tips thank you. :)

Thanks! I'm a newbie here, and you've shared some valuable information. Much appreciated!

Great work!... Thx

Really helpful post. Thank you!

thanx i finally understand the whole tag thing

/masterpost

Nice job! A lot of people don't udnerstand the value of targeting so it's great that you took the time and energy to explain it in depth. Cheers.

thanks for the feedback :-)

Great post and i found some really vital information while reading. Really appreciate you sharing, thankyou:)

I tagged everything as soon as I've read) thanks)

This was a great help, thanks so much!

Thank you @rok-sivante for this excellent informational post :)

Excellent, this is just the info I was looking for!
Thanks

Thank you, I have made a lot of posts but never really got the exposure I expected; this has been a revelation!!!!

nice!! ty

Thank you for this post. A lot of great ideas you came up with to get visibility.

I love it. You hit it on the head

Is it really good to put a long list of tags or just 3-5 tags will be enough?

hey rok,

How did you get to tag so many tags on your post?

As per the dozen+ other responses to comments, this post is outdated.

Yup, just like the internet is supposed to work, thanks for the confirmations! Day 3 here, and I'm using Google to enter my questions about Steemit, and am getting really good results doing that. My question was "how many tags does Steemit allow?" and this was the top match (on Google).
While not answered directly, you answered by example, and by being obviously successful at getting traffic/votes. That matters to me, but NOT spamming or violating the community standards is my first concern. I've already seen that I'm the only match on some tags I'm using (like UFOs) and am pretty sure that tagging the more obscure terms (where relevant, of course, as you said) is the very smart long term play. There will be millions of people here soon, and being at the top of any category will pay off. And I don't just mean monetarily, just in readers, audience, etc. Thanks again!

A mandatory read for new Steemit authors! Tags are the only good way of organizing the vast amount of content on the site. Authors need to be proficient for their content to be found, which gives the opportunity for more interested parties to read it and benefit.

I am upvoting because this needs to be a 'sticky note' and return (yes, it is 2 weeks old) to the trending lists or perhaps a #WelcomeToSteemit-ReadMeFirst section? Just an idea people...

This sir! Is a good hint thanks for that!

Very valuable info, thank you. Wish I could pay you with a microtransaction. Oh, wait, don't need to!

that would be the vote ;-)

I've been tagging everything I write....but this has opened my eyes to a few thoughts on tagging that hadn't occurred to me. Thank You.

Good post. thanks for sharing this info with us all!

Thanks

I always just put different names in the tag field? Am I supposed to be hash tagging them instead of just writing them for example ill put steemit steem internet writing etc. or should I be using #steemit #steem etc. Im referring to the tag bar at the bottom. Thanks great post

you can put in the tag field OR use a hashtag within the post itself. i don't think it makes a difference which you do.

Namaste my friend and thank you for posting this content. Ya'll are really lighting up the neurons.

perfect! :-)

that's just fine, that given the opportunity to put the tags using the # symbol on the first day when I registered it did not work, and now put the tags become very simple.

Great explanation! Thanks alot for sharing this information.

I missed this post due to the hacks. Very nicely read. Still upvoting, even though I missed the payouts on it. You deserve it!

thanks mate :-)

Wonderful explanation! I have an online craft shop on a popular site so I'm familiar with the importance of tagging but your article brought some very important ideas back to the forefront for me.

Thank you,this was very helpful for me as well, even that I'm a new one here!

That's why you have to read more, I'm guided by a single tutorial and old insurance. I have published 3 things and I have put 5 labels on it, you consider that no more than 5 ... but it is true with 2 or 3 that you specify what is spoken, it is more than enough.
Thanks for the information, it will be useful for me now.

Very nice post. you must resd this!

I've always been afraid of committing tag abuse, but at this point, it's probably better to overdo it a tad rather than underdo it a lot.

...is "underdo" a word?

well, all fine and dandy, but can you follow tags on this platform? can you subscribe to tags? can you even find all posts with a certain set of tags?

to my knowledge, cannot follow or subscribe to tags - though should be able to find posts with tags simply using the search at the top.

also must note that this post is probably outdated, as had heard a couple months after that it's best to limit tags to about 5, otherwise the system may consider more as a form of spam...

That was excellent! Thank you for the clear and comprehensive mini tutorial on the importance and benefits of strategic tagging.

Your welcome, though it may be likely that post is outdated. I'm pretty sure some point not too long aftrr it was written, protocols here changed and using too many tags was considered spam. I don't know if that has changed since, or the standard is still just five...

Yeah, I just found out that 5 was the maximum, but the importance of your highlighted points are still relevant.

How did you add more than 5 tags? It's telling me that's the limit.

This post is outdated. Could still use hastags but wouldnt advise using too many as system may pick it up as spam...

it seems to me, is not enough in screenshots formatting

Found this post on http://www.steemsea.stream and glad you put it up @rok-sivante , it speaks about an important topic and that is tagging.

I have found that making tags to popular tags helps more than tagging in less known and unique tags.

Create a great day,
@kozan

Hi @kozan I checked out the link you posted above. What's that? I'd like to know before I sign up. Would be great to hear from you !:)

Steem Sea is a site where can add your post for other Steemit users to see and upvote, comment, etc. Actually this is on there! @islandgirleunice.

learned something new here thank you for the article.

Amazing post. Great details and huge for new ones like me. Thank s

note: this post is outdated.

not sure what the exact algorithms are now, though shortly after this was published, something changes such that you really don't want to use more than 5 tags per post otherwise it might be considered spam.

o really. thank you for telling me this I was just in the middle of writing something. damn. it was 11 months ago. thx for the heads up @rok-sivante.

I was here from steamsea.

@rok-sivante when I tried to put more than 5, I got an error. Also tagging in posts and total more than 5 will have issues. I read it is best to keep to 4 tags.

Create a great day,
@kozan

yes. this post is outdated. limit to 5 now.

Awesome stuff

nice sharing man

I learned a lot om rational for tagging.

Great post for describing the 101 for how to market the new knowledge economy.

this post is outdated. more than 5 tags and you'll likely get flagged for spam. at least last I heard on the subject.

As I'm the biggest newbie in town, I'm so glad I've come across this before posting any content on my blog! Thanks again! This is super helpful!

tags are important segment for SEO

This post is outdated.

Okay, great post... now why is there more than 5 tags allowed on this post?

Post is outdated. New protocols now.

Oh, that's great. Can you provide the new protocols?

I'm really not sure, other than there is a limit of 5 tags - and you probably wouldn't want to try squeeze more hashtags in as they might be considered a form of spam - if the situation is the same as it changed at first a year ago ...

Everything was ell said. :)

gracias por tus consejos, la comunidad que habla español poco a poco crece

@rok-sivante thanks for this post! (now I know) #steemit more power!

Very informative, it's like taking a course on how to tag. Thank you, GREAT JOB !!!

very usefull information, thank you

great story keep up the good work , sorry about the video thing I was on the phone at the same time and did not notice I was making a fool out of myself

Video??? What video?

sorry I was on the phone and just noticed I made a fool out of myself

Haha. 😎

Great article, thank you @rok-sivante!

Thank you for posting this I'm new to the blogging thing and you've really broken down the basics of it now I know why my post aren't getting up-votes thanks again I'll try the things mentioned here!

I seriously hoped they could increase the number of tags beyond 5 now, too bad to come on-board Steemit this late!

Nah, it’s fair they lowered to 5, with intention to cut down spam.

I'd probably be guilty of over tagging...i made something similar today; seeing the few once i brought on Steemit use shitty tags vexes me to do a blog on it.

Got more inspiration from this post while i was doing my research for the post.

This article explain tagging better, i now understand what tagging mean and how to tag.

I thought you can only add up 4 or 5 tags in a post ... You just blew my mind.
#mindblown

This post is very outdated.

Yes, only 5 tags now. Not sure if the protocol is the same now, though there might be some filters in place that using a lot more would get considered spammy.

Thank you for the information. I am brand new and was curious how to use the tags most effectively.

disregard this post, it's outdated. can't use more than 5 tags now, or might hit spam filters.

Thanks so much for this amazing post, i really love your creativity....

NOTE:

disregard this post, it's outdated. can't use more than 5 tags now, or might hit spam filters.

Thanks, i really appreciate. A newbie knows nothing untill he reads some articles a couple of hours ago. lol

Note comments: this is an outdated post.

Thanks Sir, glad i learn from you. That's one of the reasons i love Steemit, a free world that is composed of great and generous minds......

Great article- was just talking about this; saved me a whole buncho time. <3

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

thanks for your help. This allows me to think outside the box. promoting posts on steemit is cool but there are a lot of other media channels to develop on too. I appreciate your time!

In the welcome it says you can only add 5 tags per post? Is that not correct?

Yes.

This post is long outdated.

Quick question.. How did you add so many tags at the end of your post when actually you're only allowed to use up to five tags?

as per the dozens of previous comments:

this post is outdated.

Thanks a lot for the crystalclear explanation!

This post is WAY outdated.

I don’t know why/how people keep finding it.

Ignore it. 5 tags only now. More may trigger spam filters.

thanks.png

gracias estoy recién comenzando y tu publicación, me servirá para comenzar en esta aventura de éxitos, si dios me lo permite, me queda mucho camino por recorrer.

note: this post is outdated.

using more than 5 tags now is not recommended.

Elaborate and detailed great work ... can you possibly suggests some tags for my work ... i love to write poems and stories .. but i am writing quotes nowdays

poetry
poem
poems
writing
other words which the poems are actually about.

not recommended to use more than 5 tags, this post is outdated.

Ok noted

Simple but effective. I liked!

post is WAY outdated.

not recommended to use more than 5 tags.

Ok. copy!

Great explanation of how the tagging works. I actually have several new categories that I want to add, so, hopefully that will be well received among the artist group. Like #polymerclay as it is my favorite medium. The conversation on Instagram is interesting as I have been planning on a board there, but I think a lot of what you said is true. #artist 20180120_145156.jpg

This post is WAY outdated.

Not recommended to use more than 5 tags now or may hit spam filters.

and once in while someone amazing comes along who knows how to teach :-) THANK YOU

Your welcome.

However, do note this post is way outdated. I would NOT recommend using more than 5 tags at this point.

Great artickle! Found a couple typos at the end <3
"It's simple. It's easy. And how's the time to start doing doing it"

This post is outdated. Would not recommend using more than 5 tags now, or may hit spam filters.

Thank you very much for taking the time to clarify this type of doubts that are very common among those of us who are beginning

As per the dozens of other comment replies I’ve left:

This post is outdated.

Thanks for the info.

I guess you didn’t read to the bottom, or the dozens of comments clarifying that THIS POST IS OUTDATED.

This is my first day; so, thank you for this great road-map.

Note the statement at the bottom of the post - and the dozens of comments:

THIS POST IS OUTDATED

it is a great advice for me. yes i find like a post. specially beginner helpful post. thanks a lot.

No. Not helpful.

Post is outdated!!!

when someone makes a useful article, then the article will be seen anytime by the needy, although it was 2 years ago .. cheerrr !! good post and good praise for Mr @rok-sivante !!

Clearly you did not read the comments section.

This post is outdated = you probably DON’T want to use more than 5 tags, or it may trigger spam filters.

At one time, this post may have been useful. Now, it is not.

Reading the comments to clarify - as I have replied dozens of times that it is outdated - would have been useful.

I found this post in my search. Although the old writing, but still can be read to enrich knowledge. Thanks @rok-sivante

This post is outdated.

Note the dozens of other comments.

Exactly brother,
Must pay attention to the goal, and we can't get out of the way of discussion.

Very nice article... #newbies like Me need this... I am totally lost here on #steemit.
I am into photo editing and some graphic design and I have no idea on what tags to use... Please any suggestions??

What about the fact that we don't have tags with spaces? What about the fact that we can't subscribe to tags or set of tags? I have to make bookmarks in my browser?
