ALIPAC: Guidelines on Article and Forum Tags (Everyone Please Read and Practice)

(Tags should be used by all ALIPAC forum users on all posts on our forums)

ALIPAC: Guidelines on Article and Forum Tags

UPDATE February 7, 2012: Our most popularly used TAGS will now display in the box on the upper left on every page here at ALIPAC!!!!

Many of you will notice a new feature found at the bottom of each new post in our Forums and at both the top and the bottom of articles added to the homepage.

These are called "Tags" and tags are simply defined as groups of information on our site. You can make and use any tags you like.

If you post a lot of articles about the Fast and Furious aka Gunwalker scandal, then you will want to include the words Fast and Furious, Gunwalker, Scandal, Brian Terry, etc as your tags!

The search engines really like these Tags or groups created for certain terms and our visitors can see a tag and click on the tag titled "Fast and Furious" and be taken to a larger collection of articles on the same topic.

If you are a member of ALIPAC's HOMEPAGE NEW TEAM, then you will want to place several tags for each article you post.

After you select PROMOTE TO ARTICLE and got into the article posting details, add TAGS just beneath the title by clicking on the Pencil icon next to TAGS.

You will also want to include keywords from your tags in the META KEYWORDS BOX on the very lower right of the article publishing screen before you hit SAVE.

While you can create your own tags, here is a suggested TAG list for ALIPAC homepage articles and new FORUM THREADS / Posts

TAG LIST

NAMES & PLACES

1. Make a tag for each name found in an article as a source or victim etc... eg William Gheen, Michael Moore, Tom Donahue, Barack Obama, George Bush, etc...

2. When an article is state specific, make a tag for the state and town. eg North Carolina, Texas, Washington DC, Raleigh, Seattle, etc...
