Tags: What are they?

The word TAG can mean a number of things but in this case it refers to a keyword tag sometimes referred to as a meta tag.

In short, a TAG is a KEY WORD.

Every page on the internet has one word that is more important than any mother word on its page. This is its TAG word. The word (tage) that the writer wants to be known when someone is searching for that word.

In information systems, a tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system.

Tagging was popularized by websites associated with Web 2.0 and is an important feature of many Web 2.0 services. It is now also part of some desktop software.
