How To Automatically Tag WordPress Posts

Important: All scripts hosted on widcraft.googlecode.com don't work anymore because Google has blocked that SVN repository.

Tagging posts in WordPress is an another great way to make time traveling navigation more easy for your readers. It's a useful way to group related posts together. Tags are similar to, but more specific than, categories.

Tagging your new posts is very easy, but it's really a huge pain if you post way too much on your blog, or when it comes to tag previously posted posts.

As expected, there are several plugins, which automatically add tags to your WordPress posts. But it's really hard to find them in that crowded plugin directory. So, here are my two favorite plugins for this task.

1. Strictly Auto Tags:

Strictly Auto Tags is a very useful plugin by Strictly Software, which automatically adds the most relevant tags to your posts. I'm using this plugin on my wwefansnation.com, and it's a very helpful plugin for me. It scans an English language post for words that could be used as tags and then orders them so that the most relevant words get added. It won't add any grammar or useless words to your tags. This plugin is only designed for English language blogs.

2. Automatic Post Tagger:

This plugin is very different from Strictly Auto Tags plugin. In this plugin, you have to create a list of tags with related words for each of them and it'll add relevant tags automatically when a post is published or updated. You can also configurable maximum number of tags per post.
