Tags in Wordpress ?

[anuingenious]

I have a wordpress blog and i want to know that should i use tags for posts and how much tags i can use in one post. Is pages with these tags considered as duplicate content. Please suggest .

Tags are element you can use to link posts. If two posts own the same tag, mean they are related. You can use tag to show a list of posts you wrote: By example all posts about web master sun forum.
It is use by many plugins to sort pages and posts.

I think tags should be related to the post and Google will know the rest. Don't worry about the duplicate content but tags are not categories to have the same tags for multiple posts you can variate them

Are you sure about this? 10 tags in one post ? I'm using so much more ... for ex 20 tags in one post

Keep 3 or 4 tags at max. WordPress can become very heavy, if you are using many tags.

I would recommend not using more than 5 tags. But you can increase it, if your post is really long.

We can use tags in WordPress blogs and 5 tags are sufficient to become a well balanced blog. The main reason of using tags is to increase traffic to the site and it won't be considered as duplicate content.

I never use tag in wordpress since category is enough for me. sometimes, if you are using category and tag without enough description it will make duplicate content and meta description.

Related pages are shown using same tags and since you get different page URLs using "tags" it is considered as a separate pages with same content i.e. redundancy is confirmed by search engine bots. You can use SEO related WordPress plugins to avoid search engine bots to crawl and cache tags and in this way you can use tags without any duplicate content issue on your blog.
