 * Question 1 – Does using tags with posts help with SEO?
 * Question 2 – If so people can also choose tags that also resemble category names,
   but wouldn’t it be redundant and just extra pollution on site?

 * 1 – Maybe. It depends on how your ite is set up. You’d need to aska proper SEO
   consultant to know if it’s worth it for your site.
 * 2 – Yes, and no. It’s just another way of categorising information. If that’s
   what it’s used for, it’s not redundant.
