What is the norm for the way you all use tags?
I sort of went overboard on tags a few years ago (20+) a post and I am trying to sort these out now
I am trying to have one tag per subject ie Hard Cock instead of 10+ with different variations on that, as tbh got fed up trying to remember which was the best one to tag.
Would you have it just as Hard Cock or include a few variations such as Hard Teen Cock etc?
Just gunna take forever to sort these tags out got like 2k+
Cheers for any advise.

Studies show more than 3 is ineffective.
cheers mate – going to stick to just one I think (thats what my brain is telling me will be best) and tbh most of the stuff i rank for that is the case.
Ineffective for what? Surely ten is better than three for SEO purposes. 20 is certainly overkill but I don’t see why 3 is a magic number? Just curious as to why.
tbh I presumed he meant 3 variations of the same tag.
When it comes to total number of tags I try and keep around 6-8 per post.
First of all, a tag is a device bloggers use to funnel surfers to more of the same content. That’s the idea anyway. So keep that forefront in your mind when assigning tags to your blog.
I don’t think there’s a magic number, but you can definitely go overboard. If you have 20 tags on a post, people are going to stop looking at them. For instance, “big cocks” and “big dicks” and “hung men” are one in the same, so you can condense them into one and reduce the clutter at the bottom of your post.
Does using “big cocks” and “big dicks” and “hung men” give you any advantage SEO wise, I don’t know, but this is a clear example of doing something for your readers not Google, in other words, if you want people clicking your tags and finding more content on your blog, don’t make they wade through 20 tags. They won’t.
Here’s what I do: I do a tag for the site and model name; I’ll pick a couple of attributes like bald men, big cocks, ginger men, or hairy butts, and then sometimes types of action that don’t already have a category like flip flop fucking or 69 cock sucking, but I don’t do fucking or cock sucking because they already have categories on my blog.
dzinerbear that is more or less the way im trying to run mine, no point in any duplicate tags.
The three tags max rule is for tweets, not blogs.
My attitude towards blog tags has changed over the years. In the past I would only blog specific things, not combinations. So I’d do #Bodybuilder and #Teen, not #TeenBodybuilder. Now I do combo tags, in addition to specific ones. IMHO, one use is to have surfers drill down, but another is to have Google index you for more specific terms. People are typing more into Google these days, not less. So being specific should help. But since they don’t give us keyword data anymore… Who knows if it actually works?
Use of tags has definitely changed over the last couple of years.
It used to be common practice for WP users to just put in anything and everything relating to a post, but it really does need to be more defined now. I’m not sure that Google pays any attention to it as a factor in and of itself, but there’s no denying it can only help the user experience – which is ultimately what Google is looking for.I haven’t seen it suggested that there is any golden number of tags to use, but I would recommend thinking about what your visitors are there for and how you can distill this down to as few relevant tags as possible.
Theme, dress, physical attributes, model name, sexual acts, that should just about cover it in my opinion.
@Jay
yeh I did that, but it got out of control by me not paying attention – so to simplify it im going back too one word tags where I can and tbh quite a few of my one word tags rank well anyway. and will be alot easier for the user rather than having 20 odd tags describing shirtless guys
