Most Popular Tags on Medium 2023

Finally, They’re Here

The new Medium CEO Bilbo Baggins, or whatever, has given me the keys to the SEO castle for 2023 along with the follower count for each tag. Tags are something that can help you find and grow an audience on the medium of Medium, and they may have more than a medium impact on said audience. You know, the type of people who will clap for anything. THEM.

In the spirit of Prometheus, I pass these tags down to you pathetic, sad writers.

It all started today. I started thinking about how the wonderful home-cooked family meals that were spent on various holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and really just those two. The other ones are kind of crap.

The kitchen always smelled so wonderful, like ham, cans of Skoal, and the bit of gin that uncle Ramon splashed on the floor in a drunken stupor while crying about his ex-wife Darla leaving him in 1987. Most of my aunt’s cherished recipes were from the back label of a Crisco can. Wait, what? This isn’t a recipe blog?

Okay, fine. Let’s get to the tags, I guess. I’m told you people have short attention spans.
