Tag Cloud

[klumy]

SMF could support a tag cloud shich shows the most opften used search words.

[karlbenson]

Would make a nice mod.
Not sure about as a default feature. A bit bloatish.

There would also be privacys issues. (Search terms used should be private)
There would also need to be pre-approval of search terms to avoid bad people filling the cloud with bad words

[klumy]

MOD would also be OK.
And of course your arguments must be dealed with.

[Eliana Tamerin]

I can move this to Mod Requests if you want this as a mod, then.

[klumy]

yes, please

[sribharath]

it has been year started this thread..just wanted to ask is there any mod for showing tag cloud in smf

[Arantor]

There is this mod that allows you to tag topics and produce a tag cloud from it.

Better than searching IMO since that's content you have, versus what users are searching (which wouldn't be hard to spam up with rude words etc)

[Seo-luntan]

  Very good suggestion! Hope that it'll working well!

[Seo-luntan]

  Yes, it is working, but it is not possible to put some 2 letters' words as tags like "go" or "lo"... Do you know why?

[Arantor]

Yes, the auto suggest doesn't kick in until 3 letters. If you want to change that, ask in the "Support and comments for this mod" since it's the mod that needs changing.

I hope its ok that I brought this thread back to life.
On to the issue i am having.
I tried to install on my forum, and I got a bunch of error msgs while doing the install. It was suggested that I dont continue.
i really want to get more search engine traffic and I feel for some reason that a tag cloud will help it. I am open to other suggestions, but here are the error msgs.

A tag cloud wont do anything for search engine indexing.

[steamboatwilly]

Ok, thanks for the info. However. that does not change the fact that I cant use this mod. I guess this might be for internal forum related searches only. So I will keep looking on the SEO board then.
