BEAT TAGS

[drex]

not producer tags, tags like gritty dark anthem w/e etc... I suck at this and so actually skip this essential. anyone else have this issue? I cant describe my beats...

Oh you mean how to name your beats? In that case, yeah it's hard. At this point I just give them numbers and/or dates. Because naming beats gets too repetitive.

 

[drex]

yes and no, I think I wanna start a small club like one of those 'follow for follow' deals that people like but we will describe each others tracks...I find it easier to describe other peoples work than my own

I meant more like seo stuff. when a voclaist searches for tracks they either go where they know, look for a type beat, or type in key words and adjectives commonly used... like a dark beat, or a grimy beat, or a get money beat, idk... anybody with me on this?

It's best to research a bit and see what others are using. What platforms are you talking about, Soundcloud? YouTube?

 

[drex]

I'm focusing on youtube soundcloud and facebook. gonna add instagram when I have a solid promo program in place

It should really be that simple though, just searching for what's out there already and using those tags and also flipping it a bit to make them a bit more unique to your sound too.

Hey drex, you talking about the keywords, they use to search a beat. I watched this video the other day, to dude touched on that. Search for Taz Taylor beats on youtube. He has a video where he explains how to name tag

This is kind of random but look at the amount of tags this guy used in the description (on YouTube):

For @drex and @slimegreenbeats tag advice ask iamquea on IG plus she can record voice tags too.

see that's tacky. I hope I can find an effective balance. that looks really trashy, it would give me a low opinion of his work if I was looking for beats

Yea I think there's a line you've got to draw between spammy/thirsty and good marketing

also, thats a great example of gaming the system. crawlers look for keywords in text so they can report what your'e talking about... etc etc yall know the deal. he probably could have said all those words and kept it conversational. this would have given more value to his human visitors and still registered with the crawlers. a benefit of the increased value would be increased interaction, which also would have raised his ranking. everybody wants that instant weight loss pill...

One thing I've learned from doing SEO for like 8 years now is that you want everything to be made for humans. SEO is a long term thing, and humans liking your work ill always lead to views/profit. Trying to manipulate computers works until someone tweaks the search algorithm.
