Do you tag and upload discussion photos? Why or Why Not? I'm not today.

Today is my skip response tags day. I don't feel like leaving tags so I figured what the heck I'll do it and see how it affects my pay. I usually get 50 cents a day with minimal effort.
I am not uploading photos either. It isn't worth my time for a penny. I would rather keep my rights to the photo. MyLot can go take their own photos and edit them. lol =)
Has anyone tried this? Do you use tags or do you skip them? Do you upload photos?
Please explain why you do or do not.

I have never uploaded any pictures since I started on here as I feel it takes too long to upload something whereas I could have answered a couple of discussions in the length of time it would take to find a picture adn then to upload it .
As well with the tags , I always skip them as I have never figured out what they were for :)

If they do not pay then it is a waste of time.

Adding tags or skipping them doesn't affect your pay in anyway so don't worry about not adding them. It is essential to add relevant tags and better to skip if you aren't in the mood to do it..hehe It's good to not do than to mess up the system with silly tags which I've seen a lot of users add to discussions. I stopped loading photos long long ago, its definitely not worth anything..sometimes mylot pays for images and sometimes they don't...that's a mystery again!

Yes it is odd with the photos. One day I uploaded 2 photos and it paid me 1 cent. Then 1 cent the next day but they were uploaded almost the same time.

I always tag everytime i posted or respond to any discussion.I dont upload any photo yet because i was not able to reach the 500 responses to any discussion or posts discussion.You need to tag to able to classify easily its discussion and responses to their respective similar discussion and easy to search.

It IS definitely important to tag your response. I am hoping I notice no difference in the pay for today so I can save my time skipping tags.

I am not sure if we get paid for the tags but I will have an idea tomorrow.
You get 1 cent for each photo (I think).

OH I'm too lazy to put tags on my responses and photo tags ... I don't even upload photos cause I don't have appropriate photo for the discussion. I don't think that not putting any tags will affect our earnings since it is only use for the categorizing the discussion and responses.

I'm fairly new to mylot, and after reading into quite a few discussions I'm beginning to notice a few things.
I'm not too sure about how the tagging works, but I do tag the majority of the discussions that I respond to. I have also started uploading photos to discussions that I am starting, as well as uploading to the 'interest' section and picking up money for that.
I upload the photos because I have tons of pictures on my laptop - I'm a photo-holic! They do add a nice touch to discussions.

when i was just starting here at mylot, i'd always disregard/skip adding tags to my discussions. then after i made a reply to one discussion, i tried adding tag to it. from then on, i find it a must to add tags to every discussion i replied to. i don't know if i do gain anything from tags, but i think i just got used to adding tags to every discussion i reply to.
in terms of picture, i'd search for a possible picture that can relate to my discussion but i always forget to attach it.

I've uploaded several photos, partly because I couldn't upload them to a discussion. At least I was able to upload them to my profile & just reference the pic being in my profile if I needed to, until I reached 500 posts. Now that I've reached the 500 posts, I find it's nice to have a photo or pic uploaded to the discussion so it's right there with the discussion.
I do have a tendency of tagging all my discussions & photos, not only for MyLot, but also for my own reference. While the mylot guidelines say you should enter at least one tag, I find it useful to add as many as I can thing of, with finding it again later in mind. Tagging is also very useful in search engine results, so they can be very helpful if used properly.
ps. have you read the tagging section in the FAQ? I just found it recently, but it's very informative. :)

I was wondering almost the same thing. I tag everything. How do you go back and look at them? Because I always tag coming and going, discussions, and responses but where are they at? There is no catagory for TAGS

I tend to skip tags only when I respond to posts on a discussion rather than when I make a main response myself to a discussion. I would be interested to know whether there is an affect on payment. So far I have not detected any difference.
I have posted a picture once on a discussion I started. I uploaded the photo because it was specificalyy the subject of the discussion. but as you say, for 1c it's hardly worth the effort.

I do like to post discussion with images. But doing that everytime makes it a bit boring so I do it only when its meaningful and if adds something to the post.

I don't bother to upload photos as I think that it doesn't pay enough. Also I have seen other people put up pictures that are mine and get credited for them, and I don't like that so I don't bother any more.
I never put tags on my responses. I think it is a waste of time and effort. I put them on my discussions that I start and if everyone was made to do this then we wouldn't need the annoying page coming up every time.
