 * Hi
    I am wanting to opitimise categories asnd keywords but on my tests it seems
   its worthless as i search the keyowrds and they are nowhere to be found on google.
   Can tag groups improve that ? Thanks Andrew

 * Hi Andrew,
    I don’t think that Tag Groups can help much for Google to pick up
   your key words. It can only help increase user engagement – readers stay a longer
   time on the site because they might click through to related articles. That’s
   also an important factor for ranking, as far as I know.

 * One thing on that. I also use yoast. I am working on my keywords as you know 
   and recently exported all my keywords and it highlights everything that hasnt
   yet been optimised with keywords. From what you’re saying is there actually any
   point optimising tag groups with keywords for the search engines or would I be
   wasting my time. I find it a valuable tool for the purpose you mentioned above
   so if I am better off spending my time on something else than optimising the 
   groups for SEO, then that would be good to know. Thanks, Andrew

 * I find that difficult to answer because I’m not an expert on SEO. The Tag Groups
   plugin only uses your existing tags and adds another layer that gives you more
   options to organize them. I’m not sure if Google is aware of these groups. It’s
   likely it only sees them as usual tags that link to archive pages with posts.
   
   With the premium plugin you can link tags to a subset of certain posts that belong
   to a group so that search engines actually “see” the difference between groups.
   But with the free plugin I guess it is merely a way how to organize tags for 
   a better overview and easier use on the front and back end with little or no 
   impact on the way how search engines see your tag structure.

 * OK, Chris, I think we’re singing from the same hymn sheet here. I’ll check with
   yoast to see if they have an opinion on this but at this stage I think you and
   I are on the same page with this one. Thanks, Andrew
