<p>From what I have observed so far, it seems Tagging plays a major role in content navigation and distribution on Steemit. </p>
<p>Tags are essential for effective Steeming i.e to Submit a Story at Steemit, there are only 3 elements - Title, body and the Tag. Clearly, effective use of tags is vital. I see most of the popular posts always carry fewer and only relevant tags. While most steemers already make a great use of tags there is still many who don't. </p>
<p>So as to spread more awareness about tags, I am sharing this basic tag performance chart in simple way. </p>
<p>Here's a view of today's top payout trending tags and replies</p>
<p>https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/07/30/Picture30.7b50b3.png</p>
<p>Highest payouts to date are against tag STEEMIT with highest number of replies, followed by INTRODUCEYOURSELF.</p>

<p>Interesting to note that ANARCHY and ANARCHISM both clubbed together are at no. 10 only next to 8 and 9 - MARIJUANA and WRITING.</p>

<p>The Payout per reply presents a relatively different picture, TETHER is at top with just 4 replies on single post here - https://steemit.com/trending/tether. Again,  ANARCHY and ANARCHISM are at top in payout per reply - that's a good news for ANARCHISTS of the 'crypto-internet age' (coined by anonymous, right now).</p>
<p># Notes</p>
<p>Please note this is just a general presentation of trending tags. On the day of posting, data is taken from https://steemit.com/tags.html/trending. </p>
<p>As the trending tags data is constantly changing, the numbers shown here might have changed by now. Primary objective of this post is to spread awareness about effective use of tags.</p>
