How to Organize Tags, Categories, and Labels

What’s the difference between categories and tags?

Generally, categories are for broad items like recipes, design or style and Tags are for more specific items like spicy foods, package design, or chunky jewelry.

You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.
