Follow me to get the daily Top 100 Tag Categories for Highest Average Payouts
I have a question for you and I know its a old post so I am not expecting a reply but I figured I would give it a shot anyway. I am brand new to all of this. How do the Tags get created Are they premade or if I added on lets say "Motocross" would it show up on the list eventually if it became popular? I post all Motocross Supercross and Motorcycle Racing Pics Vids and Articles but there are no tags in the list for those even though I can use them in the ta section. Anyway if you do get this a response would be greatly appreciated and you can check out my DTube Channel and my Blog to see what I am talking about.
Cheers Mate
From what I understand, the first tag you use is the main category, so maybe use photography as your main, and maybe life, motocross and sports...
Just my two satoshis.
