Since you asked so nicely, I went back into Amazon to check it out and found my red ticks on all your tag choices. So, that didn't hlep much. Best of luck with others!

Thank you Rowena for your kind words. It's a problem I'm finding with many newbies who ask for tags - I often spend ages finding them only to discover I have already tagged them some time in the past.
Carole

[Rick]

You're tagged and ready to go.

[Rick]

Done. Looks interesting.

[Rowena]

Thank you! I was tagging other peoples' science fiction romances (and thereby getting my mugshot onto the community leader board...LOL!!!) when I noticed Insufficient Mating Material move up.

Appreciate it.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't noticed already, if you click on a tag that is relevant to you, it is probably a live link that will take you to a "Community". There's even a "Sperm Donor" community!

You can then conveniently click all the books that you agree belong in the community, you can add pictures, start topics.

Your wit and wisdom will then show up in all the related Communities.

[Rowena]

PS
See my reply to Michael's request for help.
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3...

Let's all go back to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982...

and write in the tag "graduation gift" for him!

:-)

Doing that (adding that tag) will automatically make all of you Graduation Gift Community participants.

[Sierra]

Thanks Rowena, tagged you back

My book already has lots of tag from the tagging effort on Createspace (though I published with Lightning Source). Here's my book to tag and my Kindle edition:

By the way, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Do you know that your own name, if tagged a few times, starts a Community about you (in theory).

You're tagged! (a good number of my books were released before the age of ebooks)

[Rick]

I agree, Tom. What works for some, doesn't work for others.

Nanette,

About getting less tags. The other day I noticed there was a problem with tagging because when I hit the button I was actually untagging. Played around with it an eventually it worked. I think there might have been a problem with the system. It seems okay now.

[Pete]

I want to thank all those who tagged me already. I think it looks completely better for a new author to be so visible. My workDawn of the shadow available on kindle seems to have reached many of those who like superhero stories. The tags i like are superhero, epic fantasy, Philadelphia. If you would like me to tag urs let me know.

Nanette,
There are three possibilities:

First-- you might have friends who have already tagged your favorite tags, but who went back and tagged a second time, thereby removing their original tag.

Secondly-- You have a mean-spirited and dishonorable rival who has visited your book page and "Disagreed" with the tags on your page.

Thirdly-- Some people who are not familiar with your work, but who are passionately keen to see their favorite authors' books higher in the rankings on the Community have given you negative tags, thus negating your friends' efforts. Or else tagged that your book does not "Belong" in the Community.

One has to accept that Amazon is not all sweetness and light. But, I will go and tag for you, if I haven't already done so.

Best wishes

Rick, there is something wrong with those links. If you are cutting and pasting from one of your earlier posts, remember to go to EDIT first, so you snag the entire url. Goodreads shortens URLS.

Thanks for the tags, Rowena! I'm pretty sure I tagged all your books featured on Todd's site. But I'll go back and double check.

[Rowena]

Amazon has a bit of a glitch. If it says "Failed to save... please re-try" Don't. First refresh the page. If you keep clicking, you might undo a tag that actually took.

If it did not save, then click again.
As an alternative, click on "Agree With These Tags?" You can then vote up to add a tag.

[Mary]

I'd like as many tags as possible too. Here are the addresses for the paperback and the kindlle...

[Rick]

I've typed the entire URLs for my books, but nothing comes up. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[Rowena]

Hi, Rick.

You can cut and paste. It used to be necessary to add
I clicked on the top book, which took me to the individual book page. Then I copied what was in the navigation bar, and posted it here.

Then, I returned to Amazon, and did the same thing with the next book down the line.

However, if I want to copy the URLs from this post of mine, I have to return to EDIT this post in order to copy the entire URL.

Hope this helps.

Rowena

[Rick]

That helps a lot. Thanks.

[Rick]

I've heard a lot of "not sures" and "not successfuls"
about tagging. Has anyone really had success with it? If so, how does one tell if their book is moving up the ranks on Amazon?

[Todd Fonseca]

Rick,
I think it comes down to the tags an author chooses to maximize "exposure".
I wrote a blog post on this a while back you might want to take a look at...

Good luck!

Rick, there's ranks and ranks.

Tagging may not move you up the Amazon Ranking in terms of sales (Amazon sales aren't as major as Amazon likes to make out, anyway).

But, it will move you up in the ranking in your Communities.

And, when you tag for others, you move up in the ranking as Participant in the communities.

I'm a member of iwofa and Futuristic Romance, and sfr for instance. Visit those communities, and you will see what I mean.

Hey Everyone - the "tag my book" site is up to date once again with all new authors for April. Make sure to come by and catch up with all the new tags!

http://tagmybookonamazon.wordpress.co...

[Reza]

I would appreciate all for the tags. If anyone does, please do memoir first.

Here are some of the reviews on my book:

The Washington Post – David Ignatius

…the story [Kahlili:] tells—of the Iranian revolution and how he came to despise it—is genuinely powerful. It offers a vivid first-person narrative of how the zealots of the Islamic republic created what has become a nightmare for the Iranian people…One of the strengths of this book is that it makes the author’s decision to betray his country—or, more properly, the people who are running it—seem like a morally correct and laudable action. Indeed, people in the Iranian operations division at the CIA should welcome A Time to Betray as a virtual recruitment poster.

Ed Morrissey

The book subtitle promises an “astonishing” double life, but it’s most remarkable when it comes to the mundane. How does a man keep his betrayal a secret from the most intimate people in his life — his wife, his best friend, the mother who despised his affiliation with the regime? Kahlili pays a heavy price for his double life, all while running the risk of endangering these same people to the twisted torture of the Iranian government. Most readers will connect most deeply with Kahlili’s personal journey. These days, I don’t get to read too many books due to the demands of my work. I took A Time to Betray with me to the SRLC in case I had some time to kill, but actually didn’t get the chance to start reading it until my flight home. Only my work schedule forced me to put the book down for a while, and as soon as I had the chance, I finished it. It’s a compelling read…

Library Journal

…VERDICT Readers usually get stories of life inside Iran from journalists, e.g., Elaine Sciolino’s Persian Mirrors. This is the first inside account by someone so strategically placed. Without embellishing, Khalili manages to convey the horror of Iran’s regime after the downfall of the Shah. Everyone with an interest in the region or in U.S. foreign policy or in real-life espionage will be interested.

Michael J Totten

A Time to Betray is a great place to start if you’re looking for a compelling narrative of modern Iranian history and politics, but unlike the vast majority of books about the Middle East, this one also works perfectly well as straight entertainment. You can read it as a nail-biting plot-driven tale of revolution, terrorism, espionage, and war set in an exotic location. You can also read it as a powerful human story of a man torn in two by the terrible choice he made to betray his country in order to save it…

Ken Timmerman / Newsmax

“A Time to Betray” provides a riveting account of how the author, who uses the pseudonym Reza Kahlili, worked undercover and sent intelligence reports to his CIA handlers, all while a suspicious counterintelligence officer was chasing him…

One Reader

This book wears a mask. Behind the mask there is neither Mister Phelps nor a tape that will self-destruct, but there is an almost unbelievable bundle of real flesh and blood courage and there is a real `Mission Impossible.’ Without the mask there would be no book, or only a posthumous one…Despite its title, “A Time to Betray” is a tale of courage and of love, not of treason. Love permeates. It is true love, a commitment that sustains Reza’s relationship with his beautiful wife Somaya and their son Omid through stresses no one would willingly tolerate. Most of us would simply curl up and die, or, if we are more cowardly, walk away muttering “Who needs this?”…”A Time to Betray” is such a book. It helped me to understand Iran, and villains, and heroes, and love. It changed me — changed my outlook on Iran, the world, and the United States of America.
