New bloggers and internet marketers often question the importance of tags. It appears Richard Heene, that real winner-of-a-dad who created the “balloon boy” hoax apparently knows how important they are. He’s amended the tags on his own youtube.com videos. All of his “Psyience Detectives” videos on youtube now bear the tags “Falcon Heene balloon boy 100th episode of ABC’s prime-time program Wife Swap in March six year old colorado falls out runaway home made rescue missing falconheene richard heene official youtube channel family.” Apparently in his “not a hoax” statement, he stated that he was “not selling anything. Not promoting anything.” Uh-huh. So why PROMOTE your own lame videos (for a show that networks passed on) with Falcon-geared tags that will pull viewers in?

Oy.
