Do we always have to tag responses?

Well most of the time I'll tag my topics, but sometimes I do skip it, I'm not sure tagging every single discussions really necessary I dont think it effects our earnings or the way our discussions load though I'm not sure.

Tagging helps the viewer to get an idea about the discussion. Otherwise its quite difficult to go through the para if its long and one may lose interest to respond also.

I almost NEVER tag responses - I close when I get to that page - and will do so now

i think it's mainly just for indexing.i'm not really sure it adds anything plus or minus.once in a while if i've answered a whole lot of discussions,i skip it. i just get lazy LOL

No, I rarely do, mostly when I post.

hiii dear friend,,nice to meet you here..There is no need to tag the responses every time..I will post more than 20 responses everyday..I never tag the responses every time..If i think that it will be usefull to all i will tag it..And then i will tag my discussions every time..Tag a discussion is very important..Without tagging the discussion we wont get the more responses to that discussion if it is interesting also..Happy mylotting dear friend..have a nice day..keep smiling..

No, you don't. From what I understand Mylot encourages users to use tags, but it makes no difference to your earnings; it just makes it easier for people to find an article on a topic if the discussion has "relevant* tags (you'll notice that some tags used on Mylot are not relevant and some don't even make sense!) Sometimes I use tags, but other times I don't, especially if I don't have much time. And sometimes the discussion already has tags that seem to describe the discussion perfectly well, so I don't see the need to add extra ones.

I'm presented with the screen so I just repeat a word that was in the heading. I try and participate in as much as I can as I think that everything we do here adds minimally to the algorythm thingy. I have to say though that I've started deleting my interests. I cannot be interested in life or people as a hobby that I enjoy...sorry, that's just wrong.

I believe tagging helps to group our discussions into certain search criteria. That way if someone searches for a keyword or when you log on if you have certain discussions or interests that you like then your discussion will show up there. At least that is how I believe the whole thing works. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I'll tell you a secret. The only reason I tag when I leave a response is so that if I go back to the discussion and reply again I don't have to take an extra step to bypass the tag.

Hi bunnybon7, I have always tag my responses but I have been told that if you don't tag, then you don't get a lot in your earnings, whether that is true or not but I always do. Tamara

I always skip tag, It is what I do. I am not sure if it adds or not. I am doing my best to reach payout this month and from here on to reach every month. I want to pay my prepay cell phone with my payment, so I have a goal now

I always tag discussions I start, but rarely tag responses. I don't know why - probably just because of limited time on the computer.

As far as I know, the tag is only for search purposes. I try to tag most of the time, sometimes I don't though. I doubt if it makes much difference.

I have never tagged any of my responses. As it is I dont like the tag option, it further slows down the process. I really dont understand the utility of tagging

Tagging each and every response is a tough job. Well, if it helps others to find the Topic faster, try tagging it simpler.

I have done both and I am not sure if it affects our earnings or not. I think that there are times when I make more if I do tag every response but I am not sure of that. I bet there is something about it in the FAQ if we were to look. I just know that I like this site and I do what I can to make it work.

Tagging helps in making searches easy. It wont take a second to type a tag to the discussion. The advantage of tagging is that when you want to search for discussions they usually help, but since there are more number of discussions with almost the same(if not the same), tags are not so helpful. But if you want to search or a discussion that stands out of the gang, then you might want to use some right tags. They help to find such discussions very easily.. bourne

I've heard it rumored that tagging can earn you more money for participation, but I don't think that there is a way to confirm it or not. I wonder if tagging is what causes mylot to lag so much or if it is just that the site has too many people using it at the same time. There are so many online communities with thousands of people using them, like facebook and myspace. Those communities don't seem to have the same lag issues, so I wonder what causes it.

i was thinking the same thing! why do should you tag but what i have come up with is that maybe you tag your discussion for other mylotters to veiw your personal opinions!??
