Do you post tags or skip right over them?

I always make sure they do. It helps me get paid and helps others find topics of interest faster and easier. I just found out how to make tags the right way. Before I would make a list a of words without putting commas between them. I.E(tags discussion mylot help) I used to do this until I realized all that ever did was make a really long word. Ha Ha! Anyway, do you like making tags?

I always put tags after replying to every discussion bcoz some time ago I heard about it that it also effects our earnings but it is also necessary. Everyone shuold do it.

I hear it effects our earnings also, but by a little. My guess is like 1 cents for tags but I could be wrong. Thanks!

Anytime the site asks for a tag, I make one. I try to make it relevant, but general enough it would come up on a search and lead an interested person to the discussion at hand.

That works! Making tags that are general and relevant is all they want you to do. This helps users who have a certain go to that specific discussion that they're looking for. In other words, it helps narrow down the results and searching easier. You'd be just fine making 2-3 tags and that's it. Thanks!

I do use tags because I think it organizes the discussions better. I'm not sure though that I was doing it the right way either, but every site has a different method of tagging. Thanks for the tip about the commas though.

Yeah, I think the commas is what gets a lot of people. It sure got me. If your making tags without commas your basically just making a long statement, which probably counts as one word. This doesn't do you any good unless you make a lot of "statements". I just realized this today that I was making this mistake. Thanks!

It actually depends for me. If the discussion is already heavily tagged and Its impossible to add anything anymore, I just hit the skip button. However, if the discussion is fairly new with just one or two tags, or if I have a new tag that I think will help traffic, then I do.

That's also an exception. If a discussion is heavily tagged, there is no need to add more. The discussion can already be found. However, a lot of people make the mistake of not adding commas to there tags and as a result make one long word. Thanks!

I often post tags when I start discussions, but I don't post tags when I post responses to others' discussion. Frankly, I don't think it is necessary to post tags when I post responses. People post tags when they start discussions, I just reply his discussions. And I don't like making tags at all.

I post tags to my discussions. I use to post them to other peoples discussions but then stopped. It is a good idea to post to others to help them out because maybe they couldn't think of the right word at the time to tag with. It should be friends helping friends.

In my case, in depends on my connection. If I am on fast connection it is when I am at office, I do put tags on all the discussions, messages, responses, comments I get to visit because I firmly believe that by doing this I am not only helping myself earn more but also others to find reaching topics easy. I always write 10 tags atleast, often I get error that "you can only select 10 tags". When I am at home where I do not have faster connection, I tend to skip tag option, I regret but sadly I have no other option. Happy Discussions.
