Understanding the Exclusion Tag on TrackMaster Motorsports
Ever noticed a post labeled with the exclusion tag and wondered what the deal is? You’re not alone. The exclusion tag is a simple tool that helps us separate content that doesn’t fit the core motorsports focus. Think of it as a “keep out” sign for articles that stray into other worlds – like space IPO rumors or celebrity movie trailers – so fans can stay on track.
Why do we need it? Our site covers a ton of topics, from race results to the latest tech in eVTOLs. Some stories, though, are tangential or purely gossip. Instead of burying them, we tag them as exclusion. That way you can still browse them if you’re curious, but they won’t clutter the main motorsport feed.
How the Exclusion Tag Works
When a writer submits an article, they choose a primary tag that matches the subject – Formula 1, bike racing, track day tips, etc. If the piece drifts away from racing, the editor adds the exclusion tag. The tag then appears on the post’s metadata and on this dedicated page, grouping all the out‑of‑scope items together.
From a reader’s perspective you have two options:
- Ignore it. By default, our homepage and category pages hide exclusion posts, keeping your feed clean.
- Explore it. If you click the exclusion tag, you’ll see every article that’s been marked this way. It’s handy for a quick catch‑up on quirky news you might have missed.
When to Use the Exclusion Tag
If you’re a contributor, add the exclusion tag when:
- The story is about a non‑motorsport event (e.g., a movie trailer, a tech IPO unrelated to racing).
- The piece is speculative, like rumors about a crypto space station, without direct relevance to racing.
- The content is a personal opinion piece that doesn’t tie back to our core audience.
Doing this keeps the site organized and makes sure fans get the high‑octane content they expect. It also helps search engines understand which pages are core to our niche, boosting SEO for true motorsport articles.
Got a question about a specific exclusion post? Just use the search bar and type the title you’re looking for. Our system will pull up the exact article, even if it lives under the exclusion tag.
In short, the exclusion tag is a backstage pass – it lets us keep the main stage focused on racing while still giving curious readers access to everything else. Next time you see it, you’ll know exactly why it’s there and how to make the most of it.
