Forum Threads/Posts - Tags and Trackbacks

[Kass]

Hi,

Yes, it's me again seeking guidance and etiquette for forum posts (apparently also called threads correct?)

In any case, I truly enjoy the forum format and appreciate all of the replies that I have received and look forward to contributing more as I learn.

In the meantime, I am wondering if someone can explain what to use for the Tags and Trackback section and if/how it affects search results and links.

I want to be respectful to the guidelines/etiquette and also have an opportunity to share a message and direct people to some helpful lifestyle and fitness training tips and techniques to live a balanced life.

I did do a bit of googling on the topic but look forward to your personal experiences and feedback.

Please advise and thank you in advance!



Best Regards,
Kass

Hi Kass,

Trackbacks and Tags (within vBulletin, or forums in general) are intended to make relevant content easier to find. For example, being able to find pages that link to a given post can help visitors find sites that may build upon or clarify a given topic. (Like citations in literature) This helps your site become a better resource.

Better resources = more Google traffic. So proper tagging and trackbacks can indeed help you build traffic back to a website.

Cheers!
Josh

Hey Techie,

Cool. Thank you. So what are some good examples of tags and trackbacks?


Best,
