so do you tag your discussions or not? i like to tag the ones that haven't been tagged yet but for the ones that have already been tagged, i completely close the tabs of the discussions in my firefox browser as soon as my post gets through to save time. i still don't know whether you get paid for adding tags yet but i think tags will increase the chances of people coming in to post in your discussions.

I tag everything I respond to, and I do not think it gives you any direct earnings either, but by tagging you might get more traffic, and thereby increase your earnings in that way.

I believe you are right about the tags increasing the liklihood that more members will read your posts and, therefore, respond. Having said that, non-directly the tags will ultimately impact your earnings. I'm still pretty new here so I'm learning and I have learned to tag all my discussions.

Yes, i try to tag each and every one of my discussions, even with just 1 word becuase i believe it makes a difference as to how many people it will attract to the discussion, and thus have an indirect bearing on how much you earn from it.

I don't think that by placing tags you are earning for it...but it would drive in more traffic. They are basically key words. I tag everything. Even if they already have some tags, I usually add more because they might have missed some good ones.

I tag not only all my discussions but also any I respond to and comment to. I figure it can't hurt and I think it does help in the earnings. I can't prove it but I think so. It does help the seach engines for finding discussions and placing similar ones together which is a good thing. This way more people can find them and respond which of course does make us money.

I do tag all of my discussions. That way they are under a certain category and if someone is interested in that category than they see my discussion and the possibility of it being read is better. The response I give it depends on what tags are already there. If they are the same tags I would have given then there really no sense in tagging them. But if I have a different tag than those already posted I will tag my response.

Yes, definately I tag all of discussions. I didn't used to tag a single when I was new then I came to knew that it helps mylot to araange files in thie interest departments and it becomes easier for them to produce discussion or response when someone is searching for the same kind of discussion. It also helps us earning, I'm not sure but heard this from one of old mylotian.
