The correct way of using tag is completely don't use it.

Never used tags, never had problem with ranking a site. All they would do to my sites is over optimize them.

Not sure what tags you mean, but these are the yoast settings you want for best results.

I know that's wrong, as meta keywords should no longer be used. Google have said themselves that they can only now count against you. So it's hard to believe any of the other settings you've selected.

Tags can help you increase your rankings. Use maximum of 3-4 tags per post.
