I am not sure whether we(users) can add new interest categories on mylot or not but i remember i have read in some discussion that mylot interest categories are added by its users..If it is so and i add a new interest category on site and suppose it is liked so much by other members and goes very popular (am i being more optimistic? ;p) then would it be counted as an extra contribution of mine on the site or not? (ofcourse it would be, more clearly in regards of earnings :)

I think it is there if you want to fine tune your topic. It makes for more specific categories but there may be less people that see it than say in the more popular categories where more activity is going on. But it is good for organizing your discussions.

Tagging will help more people to see it. So even if the discussion is begun in a discussion give a popular keyword which is popular as well as related to the discussions.

You can certainly add a new interest. If you select "interests" and then "edit", you will have the option of choosing an existing interest or to create a new one. I would advise a little care if you consider doing so because many members in the past appear to have created a new interest even though the category already existed, which simply results in multiple interests of the same category. As for accruing credit from this, I do not believe that it will generate a direct income. The only purpose is to create an interest that you can then open an appropriate discussion in.

Understood :) the question about earnings by adding interest category has actually came in my mind to see those multiple interest of the same category, i thought there may be some kind of reward for adding a new category..

I see what you mean. The reason for multiple entries is no doubt that people have been too eager to add a category rather than search for an exisiting one.

If you put up a new category, that won't earn you additional income here in mylot, except of course if you always use that category or interest in your responses or new discussions. Interests are common to everyone here and it helps us see which topics we can talk about in the site. =)

No I dont think it waould count in extra earnings but you can create your own interest category especially if it was not there before.
