Tagging Books at Amazon
Finally ready to join in! Here's the link to my science fiction novel TWIN-BRED on Amazon (just Kindle so far):http://www.amazon.com/Twin-Bred-ebook...
Please tag away! :-)
As I start tagging other books, how do I know what sort of tags the author would prefer??
Also, does anyone know whether the tags will carry over to the paperback edition when that is added?
Terri, got it but 1 tag on your paperback and 4 on the kindle version won't help much. Please see my comments above explaining how to get the most benefit from this.Cliff, I liked and tagged all 10 versions of your books. If you can recip, mine are listed here http://www.amazon.com/Jason-Matthews/...
Karen, got em. Paperback tags do not carry over to Kindle and vice-versa (wish they did!). Just click the top 15 tags, even if you have to hit the Show All Tags button which is most common. Like Terri, you want 15 tags for us to help you more.
I've come up with 11 tags for Twin-Bred so far. If anyone here who's read it, or who reads the description on Smashwords, Amazon or the Nook Store, has ideas for the other 4, please let me know! (The ones I thought of had never been used -- I assume that doesn't do one much good.)Now to make my way up the list!
Hi all,I have liked and tagged:
Terri - both paperback and kindle
Cliff , my fellow Texan, - I've got all your books
Karen - got your book
Jason - I got all eight of your books.
Hopefully you all will reciprocate.

Thanks, Shannon! I liked and tagged the U.S. version. I'm working my way up the list slowly -- because I'm trying to stave off incipient carpal tunnel, I'm doing at least one or two books per author, but not necessarily all....

Well, I've liked and tagged my way backward through September 25th. Got to give my arm a break.... Thanks to the two people besides me who've tagged Twin-Bred so far!(My link is http://www.amazon.com/Twin-Bred-ebook...)
BTW - is it allowed/expected to "like" one's own book?
Hi everyone! Please tag and like my latest book, The Amazing Wolf Boy.http://www.amazon.com/The-Amazing-Wol...
I'm all caught up to this point.
Thanks!

I've liked and tagged you.
Got it, Roxanne. You may want to add more tags, up to 15 so our help benefits you more. If having trouble coming up with 15, check out other similar books and see what those authors are using.

I posted a separate link for all of my books to make it easier to like :0)
Got em, Barbara and tk. Charity, got all the ones I hadn't seen before. Paperback version of Secure Hearts still needs tags.
Tagging is awesome.My books are here: http://www.amazon.com/Patty-Jansen/e/...
Some of them are anthologies in which I have stories.
Got those above me :) Just realized I didn't add my author page and print version if you all would click those too. http://www.amazon.com/tkRayford/e/B00...
http://www.amazon.com/Abstrus-Planet-...
Hey Tk, I got the one that I missed earlier. Do you still live in Memphis? I live in Murfreesboro :)
Hey guys, I had a new book release today that could use some likes :)http://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Sinners-...
Charity wrote: "Hey Tk, I got the one that I missed earlier. Do you still live in Memphis? I live in Murfreesboro :)"Nice. Yes I'm still in Memphis. How long have you been in Murfreesboro?
And I liked your new book.
Jason wrote: "Check out several Amazon books similar to yours and see what tags the authors are using. Tags should be fairly popular terms, terms that actually get searched by people. Go ahead and click on many ..."Can I add tags to my book after it has been published on Amazon Kindle, and if so, how?
I think I'm beginning to understand this tagging lark. I added 15 tags to my own book. If anyone would like to add some tags, I'd be grateful. The main tags I need bolstered are thriller, mystery, suspense.
Thanks. Here's the link to my book (St Patrick's Day Special)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005...
I will reciprocate, starting now. :)
Today's definitely going to be a tagging day on Amazon to try and help all you guys out. :) I finally went in yesterday and maximized my tags (well, 14 of 15). Can't wait to see if that helps people find the book. http://www.amazon.com/Thrown-Out-Stor...
Jason: How come your lastest book, (skiing and mushrooms) has 16 tags? I thought 15 was all you were allowed.
Hey, Shannon. You've got 34 tags. I thought 15 was the limit. Maybe readers can add more than the 15...
Hey Charity, I tagged and like one or two of your more recent books. Your first one seems rather expensive !

Roxanne, I started a discussion on your Amazon page.
Hi Patty Jansen. I tagged and like a couple of your more recent books. Then I bought "Out of Here". How could I resist at that price. I will read it with interest and maybe buy some more. I love SF. I think having a freebie anthology is a brilliant way to grab readers. In my case, I only have one SF anthology with 10 stories, so I can't really afford to give it away. It's called OVOLUTION AND OTHER STORIES and it's here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005...
I haven't tagged this book myself yet.
All done. Where people had lots of books, I tagged the most recent ones, and liked a lot of books too.

I've lived in Murfreesboro since 10 years in age...so a long time. Though I never admit how many years that's been :)
I'm caught up with everyone again. Please tag and like my children's book, if you haven't alreadyhttp://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Inside-...

Got them, J.J. and JennieJ.J., any book have can an unlimited number of tags, but each individual may only add 15 per book. Some readers add their own tags instead of just clicking the top results.
Someone (one person) has tagged one of my books. Thanks, whoever you were. I now have 2 on about 3 of my tags. Yippee!
Got you tagged and liked, J.J., Glen, tk, Jennie, Barbara, Roxanne, Patty and Karen.My links are in message 413. My UK amazon books (paperback and Kindle) could use some more likes and tags. Seems like only the US ones have been getting tagged/liked.
All tagged and liked US and UK, Mark. Sounds like an interesting book. Where does Phil Lynott come in to it? He was one of ours (I'm Irish).

Here's my author page with my books. The Usurper needs more likes but has enough tags(and I wish I could fix the kindle version's tags, I messed that up), the others need both.

Thanks!
