Why would I want to use tags on my blog post? How do I add tags to a post? just need more information about tags and how they work and why. Thanks.

As far as i know they are only useful for searching blogs.

IE: search using tags as the source rather than the data inside the blog itself?

Yes, these tags are simply used to make it easy for people to find your blog on the internet. It is advisable that you use your keywords in the tag fields.

As I noticed, most frequent tags on your BlogSpot blog will appear alongside your blog url on Google's search result page.

Tags help search engines to crawl your post easily. These are additional feature that you can add tag in each blog post. Take a example: If mobile is category then sony mobile, nokia mobile, dual sim mobile, LG mobile, eco friendly mobile etc. will be tags.

"tagging" of content enables your visitors to browse other content that share a similar topic or theme.

If you are going to use tags then I would include a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> element on each of the tag pages. It's just another place (like category pages and archives pages) where content on a blog gets duplicated.

I flag my archive pages noindex as well. My posts get indexed on the post pages. I use custom excerpts and only place each post in a single category so that ALL content on my category pages are totally unique (most just use the first XXX words of the post as their excerpt or show the entire post on the category and archives pages). So once a post's excerpt rolls off the home page, the excerpt is ONLY indexed on the category pages and the post is ONLY indexed on the post page. All other pages (tags/archives) with the post or excerpt are noindexed via meta robots tags.

Here is what Matt Cutts said about using tags on blog posts:

Tags are perfect for search engines. It helps the search engine determine the niche for your blog. I use tags all time which help me with SEO. Use tags that define your blog such as for example mine is webmaster so I use webmaster alot in my entries and use them as tags.

There are so many types of tags. meta tags, robot tags,title tags, etc. I think you need to figure out the function of each and then decide which and how to use them.
