1. Determine Your Keywords
Which keywords are your aim? You might list things like ‘real estate’ and the cities in which you do business. Don’t forget to list any popular phrases that your city is known for… If you live in San Francisco, you might list ‘bay area’, ‘east bay’ and ‘silicon valley’; if you live in Chicago, you might list ‘windy city’, making sure all of your possible search terms are found.

2. Tag Your Site and Your Profile With These Tags
Sign in and add each of your chosen tags to your profile and blog on MyBlogLog.

3. Enlist Help
Ask your friends and readers to also add tags that are relevant to your site. Remember, don’t ask them to tag you with certain words, just ask them to add tags that will describe your site. Those natural, organic tags are most likely to be the ones that your potential searchers will be looking to find. Your readers may end up stumbling upon the best tags for you.
