Tagging pics

[Rosscoah]

What are the actual benefits of tagging your photos in the likes of Flickr??

Seems like a huge pain in the arse tbh.

tagging can be well handy, say your going on holiday to barcelona, so in order to see what is there you may look on flickr and type in barcelona, all tagged pics will show up and then you can browse and get an idea of whats there.

most of my pics are of seaham, so when i check my stats i can see a lot of hits from google images where people have searched for seaham or lighthouse or other words in my tags lists.

ah right, so they are more useful for getting your pics seen by others.

Makes sense i suppose. So whats the quickest/easiest way to do this, is there some way of tagging in batches?

[clyde]

just tag them in the "add description" bit when uploading them.

Also useful to find your own photos when you have a couple of thousand up like I do.

You can batch tag under the "organise" feature

Nice one, didn't fancy having to tag each pic one at a time.
