Been scouring the boards trying to figure out tagging and social bookmarking for a new blog I am going to create. Am somewhat cofused though. Are these two things one in the same?
|
No they are not the same thing but they are related. Think of tags as keywords and tagging as something a surfer will do to create a social bookmark. So you could have a tag "blowjob" and a surfer could create a social tag within his "delicious" account and add the tag "blowjob" to it. When he finds your site tagged as "blowjob" he can bookmark it in his social tagging system....clear as mud?

I also am reading alot about Technocrati. Do I have to point my tag links to them? If not do I have to point them to another internal page on my blog (which I don't necessarily want to create)?
|
No you don't have to point the tag link to technorati. The important part of the keyword structure is
Code:
...keyword" rel="tag">keyword</a>
This can point to anywhere as long as the keyword structure is followed and you have the "rel=tag" in the link.

Is there a site that clearly explains all this?

Nope sorry.

Tagging sounds pretty straight forward my problem is that if I create a tag ie:<a href="http://www.stars4porn.com/tag/asian" rel="tag">Asian</a>does this mean I have to create a page:
http://www.stars4porn.com/tag/asian.html?
|
You should...why would you want a link that leads nowhere? Plus if you look as it as a means of linking like pages together within your site, you've got some SE bonus

And where does technocrati fit into the picture? Don't I have to somehow link up to them to inform them of my tags?
|
Yes, you need to register (or claim as technorati calls it) your blog at technorati. Other than that you just need to "ping" them to let them know you've updated your blog. They will spider your site, after a ping, and pick up all the tags.
