not only it is useful for others to perform searching but also for ourselves to keep track of our discussion--tagging is used.more tags more probability for appearing in search and hence gets more views and posts.

tagging helps people find your discussion when searching, it also helps categorize the discussion... Entering search tags – or keywords – in member features like mylot, Blogs and Reviews & Guides identifies topics and concepts unique to content you create. Search engines hunt for tags embedded in web pages to return in search results. For example, write about whatever you discussion about—, using search tags can set your blog apart from others with more general content. So if you wrote about Pez dispensers in your discussion, you could use tags like "Pez", "dispensers" and "collectibles" to increase your visibility in search results. Members must use tags that are relevant to the content they write about. How to use tags Tags show up on pages featuring user-generated content. The tag links take users to pages that have similar tags. Tags can be searched by a title search off of the main page of each feature. This helps readers find related topics. You can create your tags in as you set up each feature. You can have up to 10 tags all together, and each tag can be a word or phrase of up to 4 words each.
