I do. It's worth doing and then letting the 'internet gods' decide if they will accept my sacrifice...

Use what is appropriate and makes your post more "valuable" to your readers. Good luck.

I use everything AR has to offer, geographic locations, narrowed down to the local, five groups that I find appropriate to send it to and the list goes on and on. Wishing you huge success, Endre

on AR? I use tags because that allows me to search for my posts to send a certain group of posts to a client easily.

Yes.
You can search for your posts in your Tag Cloud, which you can find at this URL.
My Tag Cloud is here
There is potential SEO benefit in the Meta Description.

Yeah if you want your post to be more searchable, use tags and keywords, then bold and italicize those same words in the post. We were taught this a long time ago here and it works.

I also like using key words in my blog such as home buyer, seller and Manchester NH so my blogs become search-able by consumers. I include other words within the first sentence for who i am going after like fsbo, first time buyer or new construction

Yep, do as much as you can to get your post find by category or interest.
I would not go 'down deep' putting things into subdivisions like Endre said as I'm not sure anyone looks there anymore. At the same time, don't pidgeon hole your posts either.
They will be useful someday like Fred said with a tag cloud. Helps you find your posts by subject if you will. When you start writing 1500 posts your memory is gone.

Yes, I do. I make sure my meta description is what I want it to read ... and make sure it has some exact text from the post.

We should use the tags and all other fill in the blank meta items here.
To check to see if you are coming up per your topic, do a search with a general description of your topic. Then check to see if the title of your blog comes up at all!!

I do use both but believe that both content and Title of the blog seem to have more influence from what I have observed. But you may want to ask others that are more expert with SEO etc. Ande Breunig

The tags are very important, and you should see calls or hits on your web site if you use them correctly and link to your web site.

Thanks for the question. I don't blog that often here and I don't know the purpose of the tag or meta description on your blog or how to do it. I'm all ears.

Depends on the post and the exposure I want it to get.
I used to load the posts up with these, but lately I have not been that agressive.
