    WordPress CMS. WordPress is a state of the art Content Management System. Tagging is used to help organize your content. In a world of Ultra Information Overload tagging helps people find Topics that interests them most much much faster.

    Auto Tagging can be deadly and I would not recommend most of them. Because as you stated

    1200 tags for 60 posts is too much and ends up defeating the sole purpose of "organizing" your content. As a rule of thumb, stick with 1 category and 2-3 tags for each post.

    hope that helps a bit and good luck

        Tagging is one more form of deep linking in your blog with anchor text. It can help if used properly.

    You don't need to have so many tags, 3 to 5 tags within 1 blog post/articles is sufficient.
    On top of that, tagger helps in SEO as well
