How To Use Wordpress Tags For Affiliate Income
I set up a Wordpress blog a few months ago that uses tags. I didn’t think much about using the tags, to be honest.
If you notice, I don’t have tags on this blog. 
But, the new blog used a newer version of Wordpress, complete with shiny new tags, so I added them when I made a new post.
Check out the results…
A lot of the pages that the search engines sent traffic to were tag pages.
How cool is that?
I just read a very good article on how to use Wordpress tags correctly by Dr Andy Williams. You remember Andy? He was the guy ranting against unethical Internet marketing tactics. So it’s no surprise to see Andy putting out quality, useful advice on his blog for free, and showing the unethical marketer’s how things should be done!
(note the affiliate commissions at the end of the article… coming from the tag pages. Nice tracking, Andy… and a nice little earner!)

It is easy to set up and use. But you have to have some knowledge. If you know nothing about databases and and how to do some other necessary things, it might be better to set up your blog on livejournal.com or blogger.com. Then, you just have to register and start posting.

Depending on how many blogs you run and how many much time we spend practicing affiliate marketing, you have probably found that managing and tracking all of your affiliate links can often be very overwhelming. All sorts of different affiliate accounts means a large amount of affiliate codes to manage and a lot of manual work getting them all into their proper place on our blogs.

The next person to post a comment without their NAME in the NAME field gets hit with the mighty ban-stick of doom!

Now, I find myself entering a small number of tags very often and I bet others have a similar pattern of usage. For us, a faster approach to tag would be great.

There is a new tag that the big 3 search engines have agreed upon called the “canonical tag” that will address this problem. This tag will allow one to tell the search engine which version of the page to index.
I believe this will deal with the issue.
I’m not sure if I can post a link but this is a link to the interview from Matt Cutts where he specifically talks about wordpress duplicate content and how this tag will help.
