In our process of advertising for our social media outreach(we have a Facebook page, a Twitter, a Pinterest, & a Tumblr) one of the things I've been doing for a little now is looking at the most optimal tags. In our staff section we actually have a listing. I thought I'd share some of them here. Tumblr The first important thing to know is this(and I share it only cause a shocking number of people are unaware; myself included up until middle of last year-ish): when choosing tags do it wisely. Only the first five count. Here's some other tips that were posted by my fellow staffer @Kaycakes. The very first tag is what will be noticed faster / easier in search. The first five tags are searchable in tumblr and show up in search results. The other tags afterwards are for two things: Searchable within the blog Organizing tags / info within the blog. It's basically like planners this way, using tabs and searchable notes to sift through your own things. Here are some of the tags we use for various things(ie organization, to share certain things), and followed by it is my list of optimal tags(we use these more often & replaced some others on the list with them such as Forum RP vs Forum Roleplay) gathered by looking at various other tags to see which gave the best results: Tags We Use Sometimes Tags That Can Be Used as First Five - Choose Wisely! Historical RP Premium Jcink Jcink Site 18th Century Forum Roleplay Want Ad Character Request India History British History Play by Post RP Tags For Organizing(note: some can be used for First Five such as Post Spotlight) Post Spotlight Subplot Spotlight Plot Dev Char Dev Char Spotlight About RP About Writing Updates News Spies Adventurers British East India Company (or BEIC) Helvetius Intrepid Society (original group specific to SUtD) Yorkshire Fellowship (original group specific to SUtD) Marines india culture period movies period tv show general history religion archaeology culture all things india inspiration Optimal First Five Tags Play By Post RP [gave more/better results than Play By Post] Wanted [gave more/better results than Want Ad(s)] Character Request(s) [Not bad though I do prefer results from Wanted better] Historical RP [gave more/better results than Historical Roleplay] Forum RP [gave more/better results than Forum Roleplay] Jcink Premium or Premium Jcink [both gave same results] 18th Century [gave more/better results than 18th Century RP/Roleplay] Post Spotlight [best choice; also best used to spotlight characters, plots, events, etc. rather than Char. or Event or Plot Spotlight] Quotes of Roleplay or Quotes RP/RP Quotes [Like first better, but second works as well] Facebook Admittedly, this one we didn't really have any listings on before. People never really think to use tags on Facebook. However, they do work and you don't even necessarily just have to hashtag something for it to work. Sometimes just mentioning something in the post will get it in results for that topic, but the tags do help too for further outreach. My search into these is basic, and I want to do more again soon to see if maybe results have changed with people using FB more to promote their groups, but for now this is what I have and we use. Optimal Tags 18th Century [has decent results] Roleplaying for Writers and/or Roleplay Writers [both good; lots of writing and RP results] Online Roleplay [another good option] Online Roleplayers [a good option like above; different results] Historical Roleplay(ing) [both work; seem to be same results] Forum Roleplay [good ol' reliable here] Literate Roleplay [far better results than using textbased] Play By Post Roleplay or Play By Post Forum Roleplay [both work; both good results] Jcink Roleplay [better than just Jcink alone] Jcink Premium and/or Jcink Premium Roleplay [both work; like second better than first] Character Spotlights [better than the one adding RP to the end; yet still unsure] Roleplay Post Spotlight [not great, not bad; a good general spotlight option] RP Character Quotes [can put RP at end too, both work; seems the best option] Character Wanted RP [again RP at front or end works; best option I've found] And that is all I have to offer at the moment. We also use Twitter and Pinterest, but I haven't done any digging into the tagging there to learn the optimal tags. Once I do I'll definitely add them in here. If you have any to add for Twitter or Pinterest, or to the Tumblr or Facebook lists provided? Please suggest them. It'd be a boon for all of us. That's the whole reason I'm sharing this is to help other historical RPs with social media outreach. It's hard enough to be a historical RP in the RP world, I thought that it'd be nice to work together and help each other succeed instead. ^_^
