Do You Use Tags For Discussions?

I used to do this all the time, but I find it does not help me in the least. How does everyone else feel about this subject?

Actually I do, it would help others to find your topic and it will help you to find similar discussions on the bottom right corner of the window. I am not sure yet if you get paid for adding tags or not.

No they don't pay for using tags, but it would be nice if they did.

Thanks for updating me, now I will stop doing tags! Naah... It would be really cool if they would pay for us tagging, but I guess that people would spam the tagging area.

Nah, I used to use it when I first started. But, like you, I just look at the topic and if I answer, I just skip using the tab function as for me it is a useless feature.

Herro irishmist I think the discussion guidelines highly encourage tags. Tags help us to find previous discussions. They also give us ideas on new discussions. I always do a search before starting a discussion. If the discussion does not have tags, i cannot find it. Just a thought. Prosperous mylotting

I see what you are saying, but i have found that all my old discussion never get responded to and I did use tags, perhaps they may have been looked at, but that does not do me any good. If you know what I am saying. good luck to you here on mylot. Making money here takes a really long time. Last year it took the whole year to make the 10 dollar mark.

Herro irishmist I'm not bragging, however, if you will check any of my discussions, you will find I respond to 95% of the comments. I think I remember you responding to some of my discussions. Your id rings a bell?? Not everyone understands the importance of responding to members comments on your discussions. I learned my routine by watching other members. I also know how I feel if I respond to another member and there is no comment back. Eventually, I will stop making comments on their discussions. I will focus my time on those members that make discussions fun. I like to know what others think of my comments. That is how I learn. Prosperous mylotting

Hi, irishmist. To tell you the truth, I don't tag any discussions. I see no need in doing so. I will only tag my discussions that I have started and not just tags off of response.

I agree with you. Tagging really does not help.

For discussion yes you need to have the tags for it to simply the research if someone would like to look for it. But for responding to discussions I dont used the tags.

I don't even use the tag option anymore when reading discussions, I find it useless. I just look at topics that I enjoy.

I also dont find it necessary as well in replying the discussion as well. That is why I just skip it and go on with the respond.

Hi and Welcome to Mylot! I just don't think tags help users make more money here, not that you can really make alot here, just a penny per discussion if someone responds to it. i have been so lax the last year because it takes so much time to make so little money.
