The tags you single out that you think the real estate buyer or seller will hunt and peck to find your post.

You have worked hard, your tongue tip just sticking out of the corner of your mouth focused. As you create like a little beaver to build the post with relevant, pertinent fresh helpful content.

You pour over and hand pick the right images. Dial in the correct proportions to flow with the layout of the real estate blog post. To make it look sexy, fluid, have eye appeal in the screenshot reaction.

You embed the video that ties in with the topic. Add the headings, sub titles. Check the links that are salt and peppered, marinating, oozing from inside the perfumed presentation.

And now how to tag for the cherry on top. To label and define what it all boils down to for the bell ringing. To detonate after the real estate blog post swims at a high speed. Tons of bubbles swirl. As it leaves the marketing torpedo tube at a high rate of thrust.

The real estate blog posts, to tag and how to tag. That is always the important question.

On all the Maine blog platforms we post on in rotation, the round robin special attention to the tags is critical. And as we read, watch and listen to other blog post channels there is a vast array of shagging and tagging going on.

Like decorating the Christmas tree detail some use, others not so much. You've seen the ones that stand on the other side of the living room and heave the handfuls of tinsel, garland and other doo dads on the pine or fir. As we scroll down to the comment section to add two cents, it is easy to pick up out of the corner of your eye the blog post tags the poster picked, selected.

Sometimes there are so many tags it is a winding tunnel drilling down to China long.

On and on. Would have been easier to label the few left out tags the post did not have relevancy for to make it easy peasy for the bots.

Other times short and sweet with just a few succinctly selected blog post tags. Chosen with economy as if each selected cost 1000 dollars each. The Active Rain blog post tag line can look cupboard thread bare. Minimal, little black dress skimpy but powerful.

And other times, those tags are the short and long tail of what the blog poster hopes to hit for a target online audience. But the majority have nearly nothing to do with what the paragraphs up top are radiating for a message.

No mention of what is tagged in the prose using the twenty six letters we all have to work with on the white, blank, wrinkle free AR blogging post canvas.

Kinda like putting, riveting or bolting on a BMW prop, Mercedes three point star or Ferrari prancing horse on the side of a Yugo taking place.

Setting the wrong expectation. One black, one blue sock mismatch. The tag what the real estate poster wants to see win, place and show for but the content like a dented can of fruit or vegetables. The rest of us not so sure what it is inside. As the content label is missing, or one slapped on gives the wrong hint of what is inside for half price. Ten for a dollar.

In the bin of misfits, outdated food stuffs you neck rein around as you guide the wire cart with always one squeaky, stuck sideways bad wheel in the shopping laps around the Piggly Wiggly.

Listening to worn out, outdated, slightly distorted clarinet muzak overhead dripping out of the speakers.

So tagging the real estate blog posts. Labeling for the indexing on search engines, the audience to pick up the smoke signal clearly on what this real estate blog post is all about. Hey.

The least amount of time to do compared to the rest of the food for thought back kitchen or pantry literary creation. But so so important. Like the words of a surgeon saying let's close up the patient after cutting, slicing and dicing along the dotted line.

The life and death for survival operation a success as he crosses his fingers like a real estate blogger when he hovers over the publish, submit key.

Hopes, prays, pushes away from under the surgical blue bright light. Holding high his gloved bloodied hands and someone helps him ungown. So he can trot, lope out into the waiting room. To spill the beans to the anxious family.

About what he found while sneaking a peek inside a loved one studied, sweated over horizontally for the last four hours. In the cut, sponge, suction, suture and stitch up, make the zipper beep beep beep of monitors and tubing.

The bagging and tagging reaal estate blog posts. Jockeying for online front page position like the query is likely, predicted to be made.

By Jack and Jill, Tom, Dick and Harry. Not about how you would say it, but the way the surfer talks, types, communicates out in the marketing place buzz, rattle and hum.

In his lingo, jargon, expression string always works best. And your back end log results prove it time and again. Over and over in your real estate blog posting tag selection.
