How to Help Promote Your Podcast by Tagging Your Text

Introduction

Tagging your text is a good way to generate traffic. Many search sites use tags to help generate helpful search results. Associating your podcast with certain tags will help people find your work easier.

Things You'll Need

• computer
• a podcast to work with

Steps

1 Step One

In order to add tags to your podcast, you go to your text description.

2 Step Two

Include text links in your text description.
Here's one way to do this: Technorati is a blog search engine that uses tags to generate their results. A test link would look like this:

rel="tag">keyword

Just copy and paste the html and change the "keyword" accordingly. << rel="tag">> is the important part to make sure you include.

Another example:

rel="tag">keyword

3 Step Three

For small amounts of content with one user, tagging text manually is a good way to go. If you're working with bigger things, you might want to consider web services that automatically extract tags from text. Two free services are Tagthe.net (TTN) and Yahoo's Term Extracter (YTE).

4 Step Four

Icerocket is another example of a search engine that recognizes tags. Tag pages often get indexed on Google. Once you're finished tagging, people who search through the tag pages will be able to find your podcast. More exposure will hopefully lead to more traffic and more listeners
