My problem is that I try to keep my blog as tidy as possible, but let visitors search for posts on various broad kinds of topics. To that end, my Labels are visible. If I start adding a new set of Labels for each post, the Label area is going to be quite untidy very fast. How do I serve both interests, growth and tidiness?Marsha Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-555529355293633932015-09-24T11:21:59.650-04:002015-09-24T11:21:59.650-04:00This is very helpful.

I wouldn't disable the search engine completely on your site though. It will still work by doing things this way. I have a search box, instead of a word cloud and that works really well with this type of labeling. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

When I write a devotion, I figure out phrases or things people would type into a search engine to find that post. For example, if I was writing a post about how to remain faithful during a dry season, my keyword wouldn't be just faith, it would be "faith during a dry season" and "how to grow my faith during a dry season". I would also add the Bible verse(s) I used in the post. For that specific post, Hebrews 11:1. This type of thinking helps all of us focus our posts to a single main concept. <br /><br />I hope that helps clear things up! I'm so glad you asked the question, I'm sure others had the same struggle. Let me know if you need more clarification!

I thought labels were more of an internal tool for the blog. I've established labels that a reader of my blog could search when they have an interest in that label. Since I write devotional posts, they are things like prayer, encouragement, etc. I have a gadget on the blog to search by topic so I've tried to condense the variety of labels I use. This makes them not terribly specific.<br />Now I see that my labels should be more about getting found. You've completely changed my thinking. I'll remove the search tool and begin using multi-word labels that more specifically describe the post. I'll think from a Google searcher frame of mind.Seeds of Scripturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922204252963713555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-72352005605873562572015-09-23T11:50:07.212-04:002015-09-23T11:50:07.212-04:00Thanks for simplifying it Edie!
