Why use tag keywords suggestion?

It is not easy to pick and tag the right keywords. “Right keywords” refers to keywords used by other people on similar contents. With help of tags suggestion tools, you can easily find out related and popular keywords.

Note: The sites that I will show you may NOT be designed for keywords suggestion but they can be used for that purpose. Also, do NOT tag every suggested keywords.

Technorati Related Tags

Technorati is the top blog search engine. I was using Technorati related tags feature to find other related keywords. However, Technorati reduced the number of related tag suggestions after a website redesign. Now, It only lists two or three related keywords.

My two cents

Frankly, I just found these so-called “tag keywords suggestion tools” a few minutes before wriing this post. :P Anyway, I will start using del.icio.us and blinklist as my tag keywords suggestion tools. Oh! I am impressed by BlinkList’s post counts for related tags.
