Is it important to tag?

Hi pointless tagging is nothing to do with your earnings it only helps in finding out the similar discuccions when you enter tag in search engine.I always tag the response i give or the discussion i start. We can avoid duplication of discussion by checking through search engive by entering tag when we start a new discussion. I think one should have the habit of tagging because it help if we want to search old discussions.

I think it's not really important for as long as you've done responding.. :0

This is what myLot tell us about the importance of tagging: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq9.aspx I tag everything, even discussions where I only read without participating. I use relevant, similar tags and only a few. If there were tags concerning 'tagging' on this topic then on the right there would be a column of topics with similar tags. Until someone else tags this with 'tag' they will not appear. When we start a topic we can add a maximum of 10 tags. When we submit the post, 5 of them will appear in alphabetical order. Then when more tags are added the 5 most added tags will appear.

I admit, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Mostly, I not. I've seen the tagging system be used to insert insulting tags. Usually done to offend. When and if that happens, you can use the report ! on your posted discussion to ask administration to remove them.

Tags make it easier for others to find your reply or the discussion. It may or may not help with your earnings but it will definitely help mylot in the search engine and give mylot more prominence - which may also help the site earn more money and survive longer.

Hi Pointless, I usually do not tag my discussions, responses, etc... I do not believe it affects our earnings in anyway. We earn from discussing, tasks, etc... not tagging our posts. Tagging simply helps other users find your discussion when they are using the MyLot search.

Personally tagging is something that I never do unless it is a discussion that I have just started or one I am responding back too to help someone else be able to get more responses from as well. It does help the discussions to be found a little easier that is true. But since it takes so much extra time I usually just do it when there are no tags there before.

Hi PointlessQuestions, we have learned that how useful tag as its rule to every discussion as well as other posts here from what we have read from the guidelines. Therefore it's a must for me to pick keywords as tag whenever I complete writing a discussion. I would fill in key words related to the content of any discussion which I have come across where there isn't any tag shown yet Have a nice day

I am not sure whether the tag is important or not. But most of the time I will write in the tag and I don't want to leave it blank. I love China

I was interested in what the others had to say, because yes I do tag, both what I start and what I respond to. I do this mostly because if I don't and I have an ongoing discussion, then the "submit a tag" will pop up each time, by tagging it shouldn't. I said "shouldn't" because I have a couple posts where I tagged and tagged, and that stupid, "submit tags" pops up every time.. As for finding a discussion with the tags? Yeah, I guess that can work, occasionally. Nine times out of ten, it doesn't work for me..:(

I dont know if it helps with earnings or not but i tag to help the mylot community. When the tagging screen comes up it says this is your final step so i have always tagged my responses and my discussions with many tags. I also rate discussions and responses although very rarely do i rate negative i just usually dont rate positively if i think the comments are very rude i will rate negative.

I do not think that it always important to tag. Earlier I always used to tag but at present I seldom follow the practice of tagging.

hi pointlessquestions i dont think that it is necessary to tag your discussion.i never tag my discussions....however if you are doing this then good.......

I participated a discussion which mention about TAG! The reason why we should include tag before we submit our post is to used it when we are searching some discussions to avoid duplication of post. It was discuss on this post: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2541162.aspx

By reading this discussion, i never would have known that tag is not relevant.Because i have never skip a tag ,i always tag my discussion are is i respond to a discussion i always tag them. Now that i know it wont affect my earnings,then i will skip a few.Now i know its not important to tag. Am learning more about mylot each day.

I don't think that you really have to tag. It won't change much, with regards to your earnings. Sometimes, I do tag, while other times, I don't tag at all. It does depend on the time, my mood, and such.

I don't really tag my replies. I think it is just best to tag your discussions that you start because maybe other members of Mylot are doing a search then it would make it easier for them to find your discussion. I don't think Mylot pays us any extra to tag our discussions or responses. Good Luck.

If I have something important to add then I will tag. You don't have to, but it makes it easier to find related topics when you're doing a search.

I didn't understand this rule. I tag because I have been afraid that if I don't, my comment will not be posted.

I think when we should not tag too seriously about the money that we should say what is useful or necessary information for everyone so everyone should stay away
