Why do people use herflang tags on their blogger website?

Bloggers use herflang tags because audience from US or UK is generally rewarding. If a blogger have a Google AdSense account then he/she might know what I am talking about. Audience/Traffic from US and UK pays higher CPC. So bloggers use herflang tags to target this audience.

Nonetheless, it is okay not to use herflang tags. The reason I have already told you. Nowadays search engines know the language and the region you are targetting for. Just focus on your content.

Disadvantages of using herflang tags for international targeting
