That one comment on my DeviantArt page from 3 years ago

I used to think tagging every category I could think of was the way to get my digital paintings seen, but then a random user named PixelPunk42 left a note saying my tags were too generic and buried my work. They suggested I focus on just 3 specific tags like 'cyberpunk cityscape' instead of 'art drawing digital cool'. Has anyone else had a stranger's advice actually improve their showcase numbers?

Tagging smarter saved my butt too.

Hang on, wait. Thea Bennett just said "tagging smarter saved my butt" and I'm over here thinking that's the most underrated pro tip ever. @theabennett you're telling me you actually have a system for this and it worked? That's wild because I've seen people lose whole collections from bad tagging. I guess I always figured it was just about slapping a few keywords on something and hoping for the best but you're saying there's a real method to it.
