Authors: Wanna boost your book sales?

[Gertie Kindle 'a/k/a Margaret Lake']

John, others have also reported the issue with tags not always showing up. I assume that they'll register eventually, but it appears that Amazon needs to work on this problem. It's kind of frustrating, I know.

A few more of mine have shown up.

True, Jim, but I'm not just talking about them not showing up.  What I mean is, if you were to go look at my profile, it says I've tagged X number of books.  But what you wouldn't see is that I've also tagged y number of books with my OTHER account...

You need to let Todd know that you are tagging under two different accounts. 

[JimC1946]

Right, it didn't occur to me until the discussion last week turned up the fact the some people have multiple accounts.

I used to post at Amazon under a nickname.  I let Todd know in the beginning that was the case. 

I changed it last week and all my tags and reviews switched over to Margaret Lake.

[Dave Dykema]

I've tagged under 2 names too. This started because when I initially started my Amazon account, they didn't like my name and found it offensive (I'm thinking the "Dyke"ma part of my name). So I made a new name. Eventually I figured out to use DaveDykema. By blending it together, it didn't get censored. I feel sorry for Dick Van Dyke.

Anyhow, I let Todd know and have no problems.

Tagged you, Chris.

If you would like to return the favor, the links to my book (paperback and kindle) are in my siggy.  Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I am a faithful tagger in Todd's tagging forum (from way back!) & I think it's a great way to help our books gain exposure.

Todd - I just realized I had only tagged the paperback version of your new edition of The Time Cavern (excellent read, btw!), whoops - but I have now tagged your new kindle version, too.

Chris J - I have tagged your paperback & kindle editions

Gertie/Margaret - I had already tagged your books from the tagging forum 

My book is always eager for tags, too:

Secret of the Sands paperback - http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Sands-Rai-Aren-Tavius/dp/1419675524/ref=sr_11_1/103-7609026-1067836?ie=UTF8&qid=1189435997&sr=11-1

Secret of the Sands kindle - http://www.amazon.com/Secret-of-the-Sands/dp/B001ESMPTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&qid=1225087001&sr=1-1


Cheerio,

Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands

Cheerio,

Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands

Rai, I tagged you through Todd's site, too.  Out of the 50 or so books I tagged in September, you were one of only three that tagged my book.    Thanks for being a conscientious tagger.

I've tagged every book that has been posted on TMBOA, but it has been a bit discouraging to see how few authors who request tagging don't tag many books themselves. Shame on them!

Yes, it is a shame.  It took me hours to go through all of the books I tagged in September (besides the time spent tagging) to check the author profiles to see if they tagged me. Obviously, Todd can't do that for the hundreds of books on the site. 

Todd, I would like to suggest that no author's book be posted on the site until they tag all the previous postings.  I know that seems harsh, but for the tagging system to work, the authors have to tag in return.  Many of us put in the time and effort to go all the way back to the beginning.  There's no reason why others can't do the same.

Gertie, I've thought of that too, but the problem is that it would put a huge burden on Todd to verify this. Maybe the authors who wanted tags could send Todd a link to their tagging page that would verify their tagging.

If Todd wanted to have "moderators" help with this, I would gladly volunteer.

Excellent idea.  That would take the burden off of Todd.  It's a good site and the tagging is helpful. 

If Todd wanted to have "moderators" help with this, I would gladly volunteer.

It's nice of you to offer.  If I volunteer for one more thing, the men in the white coats would come to take me away. 

[Elmore Hammes]

I've caught up on tagging some of the new items since last I hit this post, and submitted my newly released book to the website. I am certain that this helps get recognition for our books. Thanks!

Thanks... now you have to publish a new book because I've already tagged Ariana's Pride!

It's coming ... I hope before Christmas. 

[Dave Dykema]

I just did the August books a few days ago.

I don't like to go there until I know the month is done. Otherwise, you have to go back through and see if anything's been added.

I'll probably do Sept. in a few weeks.

I've done them all the way back to the very beginning too.

It's true that there's a lot of freeloaders, because Mine haven't gone up much in the last month or so (I'm August books) but I'm thankful for what I got when I got them.

[JimC1946]

Dave, there are a lot of freeloaders, but Todd has deleted some of the worst ones, and I do notice my tag count going up slowly but surely.

[Elmore Hammes]

I hadn't realized how many I had missed... I've caught up on the August and September posts in this thread. I'm up to 150 some products tagged now, I believe most of those are books from Kindleboards authors.
