i believe tags are used solely for search purposes. if you tag something and then someone types that in the search bar on this site your discussion will come up. that's just my stance on it though. i can't say i'm 100% sure.

HI HUSI007,Adding Tags to the disscusions is definately beneficial for us. Tags will help us to serach our responses or disscussions on mylot.It is a sort of indexing a disscussion or response.

Hey there husi_007. I tag all of the discussions I start because if someone uses the search window to look up a discussion on let's say "Christmas" then they will see my discussion and maybe respond to it. If I am reading a discussion and I see that I can help it be found by others if it had an additional tag, I add that tag. That way I'm helping the person who started the discussion earn money because more people are finding it and responding to it.
