Gotcha tagged/liked Wenona. I also agreed with all your positive reviews!!
Am I too late for the tagging train? I'm going to go tag you-all anyway even if no one sees mine. I love helping others!!http://amzn.to/jCYQw3
Sue and Dustin, gotcha all tagged and liked. Would appreciate some reciprocation on M.O.D. by J. C. Allen.Good luck!!
I'd also appreciate some views of my video book trailer on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It9YGW....Do you all have any I can see?
Hello Everyone,I have finally listed the tags. Please tag for me as well. Thanks in advance, those who have tagged already. But, for new friends please tag and I will tag yours as well.
Take care,

Jo, the way I understand it, the more times people agree with a certain tag on your book, the higher up the list of suggested titles your book will appear when someone searches. To tag someone else, click on the little boxes next to the tags (you can do up to 15 on each author), type "tt" quickly, and a box will appear asking if you want to save those tags. Just agree and you've "tagged" someone.Give us a link to your book and we'll tag it for you. I also "like" books and author bios, and agree with positive reviews if I like a book.

Those are the paperbacks

For Kindle
I'll start with the others on the list today.
JL, you need to add tags to your books - only one of them had any tags at all (and only two on there). You can add up to 15 on each book (be sure to put them on both kindle and paperback versions). Let us know when you've gotten some tags up and we'll go back and tag them all. I tagged the few you had, and "liked" your books and author bio.
Here are two I'd like some help with:http://www.amazon.com/Caring-For-Elea...

Thank you,

Hi all! Glad to be here- my debut novel is available on Amazon - Would love tags http://www.amazon.com/Tansy-Taylor-Pa...
Excited to check out everyone's work!
Hi Kathy, We haven't read the book and we don't know what direction you'd like to market your book. You should tag it the way you want first, with 10-15 tags, thus making it easy for everyone to agree with you. ;-)))
Hi Kathy - I "liked" your book and author bio, but you need to add tags so we can agree with those.I see you're from Whidbey Island. I think one of the ladies in the forums lives there too. I'll have to tell her about your book.

Got yours for you Charity! I tried to make sure I got all versions of your books, liked/tagged, liked the author bio, and agreed with all your positive reviews!!
Hi all, I'd love some help with this one, please - reciprocating "Likes" and "Tags" as fast as I can, and also working through the list here!http://amzn.to/reM8UZ
Many thanks :)
Austin.
Thanks so much Mountainmama! Really appreciate :)I'm making my way up the list, discovering lots of great books.
Gotcha covered Tracy - liked/tagged, agreed with positive reviews, and "liked" your author bio. BTW - good looking books!!
Hi Tracy, Kathy, I went head and did the same as Mountainmama: liked, tagged, agreed with positive reviews. http://amzn.to/reM8UZ
Always appreciate a good reciprocation! :)

Hi Austin, I clicked on both Amazon.com reviews and Amazon.co.uk 'Like' :))
mountainmama wrote: "If you're like me, Austin, you'll end up with a Kindle full of good reads!"Hi thre, I clicked on but got Amazon.com. So clicked 'Like' I can't find you on Amazon.UK
mountainmama wrote: "If you're like me, Austin, you'll end up with a Kindle full of good reads!"Hi there, clicked on 'Like' . I am from UK. so could not get to Amazon.com reviews
Thanks so much, Katy. Just in case, here I am on Amazon.co.uk:http://amzn.to/q5n1V3
Many thanks again!

Hi Austin, Done . :))
Katy, I'm on the UK site, but it's hard to find there for some reason. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/M-O-D-ebook/d...I've never figured out why our reviews don't copy there, and no one can tag or like unless they are a customer of the UK site. I ended up buying a 1-pound gift certificate just so I could tag and like friends' books over there!
So, I should do the like button at the top; agree with all the tags further down before the reviews; click on the cover art; and tick a few of the positive reviews - yes?Okay then. (this is going to take some time...)
Here's my book on UK and US sites

Oh, crikey - that's reminded me - I need to do a profile don't I. I have tried, but it wouldn't let me do it - kept saying I was being profane - and I really, really wasn't...

Hi there, Thanks for the URL I gone over and clicked 'like' and the review as well. :))

Done now. :))
Thank you very much, Katy! I went to do yours but don't know where they are... (I am new *blushes*) - but I did click the friend and the fan buttons on the Goodreads page that I did manage to find...

But don't worry if you can find it. Thank you so much for the good reads. :))
Guys, I am a little late. I started clicking and liking some threads already, but I am not clear how the tagging works. Will somebody please explain one more time? I will tag all the books listed and will place my links for tags as well. Wonderful community.Esther

You normally see a bunch of tags there.
The idea is to agree with those which, in your mind, best represent the book - by clicking on the little boxes next to each tag.
Thank you! Have done some clicking.Katy wrote: "Katy wrote: "Katy wrote: "mountainmama wrote: "If you're like me, Austin, you'll end up with a Kindle full of good reads!"

Esther, don't you have to type in "tt" after you check the boxes so you can get the pop up menu to save the tags you've clicked? That's how I was taught to do it! My tags haven't increased since joining in this thread, so I'm thinking people aren't saving the tags, so they don't count. Try it that way and see if it allows you to save.

I have a of clicking to do, but I will certainly do all.

Thank you for this thread. What a great idea (the tagging, and helping in general)I would greatly appreciate if anyone tagged my novel The Cahokian on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/The-Cahokian-eb...
(of course, I will not be offended by any "Liking" either :D)
Thank you so much in advance and I will go through this thread, tagging you all (giving the length of this thread it will take a few days)
Zoe :)
Thank you!!! I appreciate your help so much!!! :)Btw, a question (a newbie one, probably :)) - does it matter what tagging do I do to people on Amazon? Are there the preferred ones everyone would want?
Zoe, if people don't give you a list of what they want, just do the ones you think are appropriate. I would warn you to read the tags before you agree. There are malicious people out there who will tag your book with inappropriate stuff. Someone got me with "bad book" and "inappropriate tags". I've seen them put "don't buy" "stupid author", etc.
My debut title, "Blood's Voice" needs more tag votes and likes. Anyone that wouldn't mind is invited to visit Blood's Voice @ Amazon.com. Thanks for the help and support! Aine
p.s. The tags are already there... I just need them check/agreed to. TY
