			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Title is more than Enough of what i am going to say. I just want to ask a simple question to WordPress developers. &#8220;Do you guys actually go through the &#8220;Popular Tags&#8221; list in the &#8220;Add Plugins&#8221; page from top to bottom ? (for atleast one time, if not now go and look for it)<span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-81" href="http://sparun.in/wordpress-add-plugins-popular-tags-a-complete-waste-of-time/popular-tags/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81" title="popular tags" src="http://sparun.in/wp-content/uploads/popular-tags.JPG" alt="popular tags" width="300" height="301" /></a></p>
<p>It has exactly <strong>100 tags</strong> (even i counted it ..lol&#8230;) in the popular tags section of &#8220;Add Plugins&#8221; page. Below are some of the tags listed which are mostly repeated by different other tags (but it share same kind of plugins)</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>admin &#8211; administration</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> bookmark &#8211; bookmarking -  bookmarks &#8211; social bookmarking</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>categories -  category</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>comment -  comments</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>feed -  feeds</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> image -  images</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> link &#8211; links</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> navigation -  page &#8211; pages</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>photo &#8211; photos &#8211; picture &#8211; pictures - thumbnail</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> plugin -  plugins</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> Post &#8211; posts</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>statistics -  stats</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong> tag &#8211; tags</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>user -  users</strong></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><strong>widget -  widgets</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The most unacceptable tags are &#8220;<strong>plugin</strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>plugins</strong>&#8221; (lol&#8230;we know we are browsing plugins only here&#8230;  )</p>
<p>So In a total of 100 Tags, more than <strong>50 percent are useless</strong>. Guys , are We (the users) look like a fool to you ?</p>
<p>So why not take a look at it and change it as soon as as possible..What I think is, this can also be controlled by reducing the number of Tags (may be 5 ) a plugin author should add for his plugins &#8230;and again don&#8217;t tell me that they are all ready small or a lot of tags is not allowed in WordPress Plugin repository.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-82" href="http://sparun.in/wordpress-add-plugins-popular-tags-a-complete-waste-of-time/tags/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82" title="tags" src="http://sparun.in/wp-content/uploads/tags.JPG" alt="tags" width="546" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>The Above picture was taken, just before this post was published from a bookmarking plugin page in in WordPress Plugin repository. (are you kidding? )</p>
<p>look all the tags added for a bookmarking plugin.people if they want a bookmark plugin from the WordPress Plugin repository, then they search there for &#8220;<strong>BOOKMARK</strong>&#8221; and not for&#8221; <strong>healthranker, mixx or indianpad</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p><strong>If you do solve this problem, people will have the chance and time to look into the ALL of the &#8220;6086 Plugins&#8221; (as of this writing)  which are often neglected by a mask of popular plugins and by this kind of mistakes in Core.</strong></p>
