Yes they work.

90% of my traffic comes from tags, but of course you should install the plugin (if using wordpress) SearchTerms Tagging 2:

Code:

Yes tags works,but you need to choose the right keywords,dont just create tags of keyword that has no searches.
 
Thanks all! I've been offline for a while but thanks! I had using them but I guess I must!
 
Answer from Matt Cutts:

Question: In a blog, is it worth spending time creating tags and categories for SEO purposes?

Matt Cutts: in a few words says that tags are not so important as a good group of categories, just organize your blog and give option to your readers to subscribe to some categories.
Don't waste time creating a lot of tags.
