Tag shapes
The tags that work in gaming have a shape.
The game, by name
The only tag here with a real community behind it. #gaming is a category; a title is a place people gather.
The platform or the setup
PC, handheld, a build. It reaches people interested in the how rather than in watching somebody play.
The format
Clips, speedruns, reviews. On a platform most of this audience treats as secondary, the tag is largely telling the recommendation surface what this is.
The common mistake
Tagging the category and never the specific game, which is the only tag with a real community behind it.
Five for one post
A starting five for a gaming post.
- 1#gamingBroad: files the post under the right subject
- 2#streamerMiddle: where most of the finding happens
- 3#twitchMiddle: where most of the finding happens
- 4#esportsSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
- 5#gamingsetupSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
When tags will not help: A game tag on a clip that only makes sense to people who watched the stream brings viewers who scroll away. Cut for strangers.
In Synclify
Measure them on your own posts.
A saved block of tags never tells you which of them worked. Synclify reads how each tag did across your own posts and writes a set for each new post before it goes out.
Measured on your account's own results, never on a topic average.
How each tag did on your last 30 posts
Sample account- #homeworkout
- #kettlebellflow
- #fitnessmotivation
- #morningmobility
- #fitness
Next post's set keeps the three that found people and swaps the two that did not.
Other topics
All twenty topics, and how crowding decides what a tag can do.
Better hashtags measured, then written.
