Which tags I should care about?
I didn`t really understand how to use tags when I first created my site. I have way more per post than I should and they are just whatever words came to mind after I wrote the post. I didn`t realize that a post/page was created for each and every tag used, which means now my site has 600+ pages rather than the around 100 pages I expect people to actually go to. Online research turns up few recent articles or guidance on if, how, and to what extent SEO damage is done by deleting all the tags. I don`t get amazing traffic right now but am working on it and if there is going to be a traffic hit, I`d rather take it now before my traffic grows.Does anyone have actual experience and data to support if I should leave tags alone, delete them, or just not add them to future posts and let them be?Thanks.
