Hello, everyone!

I recently found a thread on another group about this, and though I would bring it here to help out our group authors.

Amazon tagging is used to help the search engine find your book. I.E: If someone searches for "science fiction", and your book has been tagged "science fiction" over three hundred times, then your book would appear before a book that had been tagged, say, a hundred times. This is a very useful tool to help readers find your story.

If you have a book that you would like to be tagged, put the link on here, and four of the tags that you would like. Let's help fellow author's books be found!

To start, here is mine:

For Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Foxfire-Chronic...

And for Amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0...

My suggested tags are:
young adult science fiction
young adult horror
young adult
science fiction romance

Thank you!

Thank you!

Really? No tags? I'll have to check it. Thank you for letting me know. :) It's been a bit buggy, since I don't use the UK site, but I'll try and fix it.

I think I fixed the UK tagging...I hope. Please let me know if it's still being evil. :) Thanks.

Still no tags to agree with...maybe it's because it's a kindle in amazon.co.uk, I can't even buy them. :(

I don't know...I went on and put tags on it, but I guess they aren't appearing for some reason. Maybe it just hates me...ha ha. Thank you for tagging the US book, though! I greatly appreciate it!
