I've recently discovered how important tagging is in product placement and I am looking for authors who would be willing to tag my book, The Merry-Go-Round. Here's a link --> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ZNJL78I would be happy to reciprocate on both electronic and print books. I've read that the choice of tags is important. Amazon allows each tagger 15 tags per product. I would prefer the use of: romance, chick lit, women's fiction, fiction, contemporary romance...or you could just check the boxes of the tags I already have. Let me know which tags you'd like for me to use when I tag your book! Thanks in advance. Modified to add: New to the thread? Jump to the most recent post and go back 5 pages, tagging all the books of each author who has posted a request for tags...then add your book to the thread, and check in often--every day, if possible-- to tag any new comers.~Donna~ |

Donna,
I wasn't certain since I have tagged so many books that they start to run together but I clicked your link and yep, I have tagged you.

Sierra, I've already tagged all of yours, too.  Thank you for the tags! And, you're right...the books/tags begin to run together after a while. ~Donna~ |

Hi there, I've tagged all of your books. I'd gotten to Donna and Sierra's sometime last week, but I did Jesscscott's just now. Happy to help. Edit:  I just found out that someone tagged my women's self defense book with the following tags: bad self defense fake ninja lawsuit I'd appreciate it if you'd vote these tags down. I'll be corresponding with Amazon to see if they will remove the tags. Thank you for considering this request. Have a great day, Ricky |

I still don't understand why tags are helpful, but in case they indeed are, I'll trade tags.

Thank you Sierra.
I tagged everyone else's books. Got a decent connection today, so it's no trouble at all.
Have a great day,
Ricky

Kristie, no problem. I usually tag both versions when I find 'em.

David, tagged both your books. Eric, tagged both of yours, too. A quick explanation of tags: tags help customers find products. If a customer searches for books with 'female detectives' and your book has loads of 'female detective' tags, then your book will pop up higher on the list. Does this make sense? (If someone can explain it better...please do!  ) Kristie, I tagged your paperback (I've already tagged all your ebooks). Everyone, thanks for the tags! ~Donna~ |

Thanks, everyone! I've tagged everyone who has listed up to here. After others add theirs, I will go and tag them.

You might want to check out "Tag My Book on Amazon." I've used it for all my books and e-books. http://tagmybookonamazon.wordpress.com/tag-my-book/ |

I posted my book there, but have received only a few tags. Maybe it takes time for the members to start tagging? I dunno. ~Donna~ PS I tagged your book! |

Donna, double check on the submission page that your post took. I know when I submit there I have to e-mail Todd so he can check his spam filter since my posts always end up in his spam section.

Donna, I tagged you yesterday (?) but I went back to make sure I had tagged chick lit. Sure enough I hadn't because it was not showing until I clicked on see all tags. So I tagged chick lit and a few after that until it told me I could only tag 15.
I think that's why I'm not getting many tags on western and contemporary romance, because you don't see it unless you click on see all tags. I sure wish there was some way to rearrange the darn tags to show first what you want seen but if there is I haven't figured it out.

The Tag My Book site doesn't always work as well as it should because new people tend to only tag the books listed the month they join instead of going back thru the archives, if at all. I've tagged over 800 books and ebooks there, and have 55 tops on my books. But it's 55 more than I probably would have had without it. |

Okay, I admit that before this thread I didn't get the point of tags and I haven't been doing my fair share. I'll work on that. Now, can somebody tell me how to make a tag go away? One of my books has "navel" tagged five times. The tag "naval" may be appropriate but if you click on "navel", in addition to my book the search returns a DVD called Navel Power - Kundalini Yoga, a paperback called The 7-Day Chakra Workout and a 7/16 NY APPLE RED Banana Belly Ring.  |

The only way I know to remove a tag is to have people go back to the listing and disagree with that tag. That will slowly get it removed I believe.

Thank you. My post was actually intended as a joke. I don't really mind being associated with NY Big Apple belly-button rings - but I am just a little putout by the fact they they sell better than my book. |
