Use Tags as KeyWords
Every wordpress users must be already know the meaning of tag. It is like simple words describing about your posts. Meanwhile, keywords also have the same rule as tags. They are contains of short words, and separated by commas. So including your tags to the keywords is not a bad idea, right ?
KeyWords and tags play important roles for your site. The big difference about them is about the object they are target. The KeyWords shows the search engine and the bot about your content, but the visitor will not explicitly see them except they see your HTML code.
In other side, tags shows and helps describing your content to the visitors. The visitor here mean the person reading your blog manually. It is also important that the tags always have link to the topic of your visitor or reader desired about.
So when you want to combine it, i will tell you about how to include tags on keywords. It is not a difficult thing to do. If you are not too interested in editting HTML codes, you may use Automated Keywords Generator. It will works as described above. But if you like about it or wanna knows the code, see follow steps bellow:
- Login to your dashboard
- Open up Theme / Appearance tab
- Click Theme Editor
- Open the Single.php
- Start editting
You may see PHP codes, just find up the <head> and </head> tag and be sure you are editting between those tags.
<?php the_post();?>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php the_tags();?>" />
<?php rewind_post();?>
That’s all. Any suggestion ?

I have Automated Keywords Generator installed and activated on my site but I do not see any keywords other than the few I did by hand. Is AKG supposed to work on existing posts or only for newly created posts? Or am I doing something wrong?
