Is A "Tag" Just A "Keyword" For A Blog?

Or does TAG mean something completely different in its own right?

    It's a programming term that's been around for decades. Long before blogs.

    Tags are Keywords too! Tags help people find your content. Tags help search engines find your content. The Power of tags should not be underestimated. Whenever I tag my Hubs, Blogs, etc. I always include No Less than a dozen laser-targeted Keyword Tags.

    Here is the wiki definition.
    A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. On a website in which many users tag many items, this collection of tags becomes a folksonomy.
