What are tags?

Tags are like search keywords that you can set when publishing. When a note has appropriate tags, it becomes easier to find through search.

Tags are a combination of a hash symbol (#) and a word, such as #HowToStartOnNote. Articles with tags can be accessed from the list page for that specific tag.

Add tags for the format of expression

First, tag what type of work it is. If you add a manga tag, it will be easier for people looking for manga to find it.

#Diary, #Essay, #Illustration, #Manga, #Novel, #Music, #Photo, #Poetry, #Recipe

Add tags for the genre

Tag what your note is about.

#SciFi, #Learning, #Lifestyle, #Horror, #Travel, #Romance, #History, #Anime, #Game

Add tags for series titles or product names

If your note is part of a series, or if it discusses a specific program or product, be sure to tag those as well.

#HowToStartOnNote, #Gundam, #PlayStation, #KinokoNoYama

Add tags for relevant keywords

Finally, add tags for relevant words contained within your note.For example, if your note is about Mario, it might be a good idea to add a Nintendo tag as well.

Summary

Hashtags are used to categorize your article and make it easier to find. Unless you have a specific reason otherwise, it is a good habit to aim for about 3 to 5 tags. Adding too many might actually have the opposite effect.

When adding tags, look for ones that can be applied from multiple perspectives. For example, consider the format of the expression, such as whether it is a manga or a novel. Consider the genre, such as sci-fi or fantasy. Consider the series name, and so on.
