I know some people believe religiously in tags (hence tagging threads) but I've never been one who bought into tags. I've seen a lot of highly tagged books that don't sell well and a lot of books with just a few tags and only a couple of votes on each, shoot to the top. My books fell into the second category--but that was at Amazon.com. Not only did they have just a few tags with single digit votes on them, there were a few bizarre, unrelated tags someone stuck on my book, too.
Now, while my books have done very well in the US they hardly sell anything at all across the pond. I think between the three books I've sold maybe fifty in the past four months. Not a lot really. I have no reviews over there and only one tag on one book--which isn't even accurate.
Would it be beneficial to either find someone who has a UK account and ask them to tag my books or buy something over there and tag them myself? All I've been able to glean from tags is they don't help your books show up higher in the main search engine, but if someone clicks on a tag, the more votes you have on that word/tag the higher up you'll be on that list. Is that right? As a person who never clicks on tags to find similar products that way, I guess I never really took the time to learn to advantage, but if there is an advantage and it'll help with Amazon UK, I'd be willing to try it.
Any thoughts?
