Alot of people use tags in different ways, and normally that's fine, but for images on Neoseeker there's a really powerful way to use tags to bring together images in very useful ways. I thought I'd give you some tips to make tagging more enjoyable for yourself, and more useful for others who are viewing your images.

Tags as Identifiers of Characters/Monsters/Items

This is my personal preference. Use at least 1 tag to catalog EACH character, monster, item, or anything that you can actually SEE inside the image. If there are 6 characters in the image, add 6 tags. Got a picture with some Pokemon in it? Don't tag it with "pokemon", tag it as the ACTUAL names of the pokemon. That's what I did here for the tag "Elika" (a character in Prince of Persia), I found images where Elika was a prominent part of the image, and then tagged it. Also look at the tag of the Rook from DemiGod, where screenshots containing the Rook were tagged, plus a cool LEGO Rook!

Check out this odd pic where Altair and Elika are in the picture together, nicely tagged with both characters ;).

Other examples of tagging by content within the image:

• Master Chief (from Halo)
• Big Daddy (from BioShock)
• Rathalose (from Monster Hunter)
• Stitch
• Kratos (God of War)

Tag spelling

Tags are not case sensitive, so add them with smallcaps. Spelling the tag correctly is CRITICAL! And punctuation like hyphens, spaces, abbreviations should be considered carefully. Try to use what you would consider to be the MOST COMMON tag.

Single word tags

Single word tags should be reserved mostly for less common character or monster/item names. "Mario" is such a well known character that the single word is enough (and really all that you can do). But "bellic" might not be the best tag to use for GTA IV since it is ambiguous.

Tags of your username

ONLY tag an image with your username if YOU or a likeness of YOU are in the picture! In fact, if you tag too many images with your own username we'll just remove the tag, since its not relevant and bloats up the tag database.
