Will tags make the difference between an author becoming God Emperor or just another scruffy nerf-herder? Probably not. But they do make a difference in search rankings. If your readers can't find you, reading your books becomes a bit of a challenge. Unless your target demographic is exclusively Scanners and that could get messy.
It's your first Tag day? No worries - here's how:
- Go to the Amazon buy page (I've included the links below)
- Scroll down to the Tags Customers Associate with this Product header
- Look for these tags: SFR, Scifi Romance, SF Romance, Science Fiction Romance and Paranormal Romance - please feel free to add any extra tags you feel are appropriate to the work (i.e. Space Opera, Military SF, etc.)
- If the tags are already there, just click on them to add your 'vote'
- If not, type them into the 'your tags' box to add them (no need to save the page, just type and add)
Our lovely lineup this week has something for everyone:
Into the Woods by R R Smythe
Speculative Sky by Clare Dargin
Celestial Dragon by Ciara Gold
An Uncommon Whore by Belinda McBride
Have a book out on Amazon that we haven't featured yet? Know an SFRB member who does? Just want to write and tell me I've won the Microsoft/Irish Lotto? Send me a message at ravenesperanza@yahoo.com and I'll add you to the schedule.
I was only able to tag two of the books. Two links didn't work. :-(
ReplyDeleteClick to the page of one that does work, then enter the author name to display the list of books. Go from there.
ReplyDeleteI bought Speculative Sky. It really needs some tagging BY THE AUTHOR!
Come on, writers! Help us help you.
It does help if authors tag their books. I try to remember to do that as soon as a book goes live. Don't always remember, but try!
ReplyDeleteI got them tagged, but the links were way hinky.
ReplyDeleteI tracked down the missing links:

Tag, tag, tag! ;-)
Sorry - our company is moving buildings. The hours are killing me. I'll see if I can't fix it.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Sandra! I was just multi tasking and woke up too early. Believe me when I say it affected my eye sight and my ability to reason! lol
ReplyDeleteAll fixed - and I added tags where appropriate. I actually own An Uncommon Whore - very fun book - and took some category listings off the Red Rose site for Speculative Sky.
