Where should the Tag Cloud be placed ? On main page only or all of the pages ?

[casinorecommender]

I am displaying it on the main page only. And one more question. Does the widget automatically generates the tag cloud for the related page ? Or for the whole site ? I meant that, do all of the pages tag clouds the same or differs ? And could you please recommend me a Tag Cloud generator widget ?

I guess you are using tags only and not tags and categories as it is best to use one or the other. I put them on all pages, and remember to add a separate title tag for each - I use WordPress SEO by Yoast.

It shows most used tags in all your articles not just one page.

I actually dont use tag clouds. Should I be?

[jdromey]

I'm not a fan of tag clouds at all either.

Tag cloud is basically work for the website which made on wordpress and for them there is a plun in which is available on the internet and this embed the tag cloud on all the pages of the webiste if its a website and if its a blog and also its works for all website. Words into the tag cloud not appear from the pages you need to add them while creating pages and writing a blog then you can add tags in a post which automatically appear into the tag cloud.

Thanks a lot for all of your valuable contributions. I am not using it on the main page but on the posts

The tag cloud is meant to be on your index page. A cloud is made up of keyword weight and back link anchor text and provided you have the proper site structure, its a real gem.

The issue I have found is that most sites have multiple internal anchor text links to more than one page. What happens here is that Google can't weigh the difference easily between 2 targeted pages with the same anchor text and therefore eliminates one or splits the link juice (external and internal linking) so either way you lose out.

The key is getting a whiteboard and creating silos throughout your site in a physical way that your team can actually action. Once you have done this identify the traffic generating keywords through Google analytics or better yet (REAL) real time: Hittail.com and structure your site according to this hierarchy. Align this with your back link strategy and start social bookmarking through Onlywire, create 10 accounts via Vidalia and TOR on Facebook, Twitter and Google, and tie everything together. Use TweetAdder and Facebook Adder, it will take A TON OF WORK, but it run on cruise control 80% of the time and if it were easy everyone would be doing it.

I can post 1 tweet right now and it gets tweeted, retweeted, posted on a few hundred FB accounts, LinkedIn and several others that bounce off of whatever block of regionally targeted account I want it to. It gets 10k visitors. I have 22 Facebook accounts with 5k+ followers and another 100 with a few less.

I may have said too much.

Tag Cloud right?

Front page placement. Just realise its based off of internal linking structure with a hint of indexed and relevant back links according to Google

Ps. That's not saying that having internal clouds in your template wouldn't be beneficial. but no one else does it to this point (that I've seen) so I doubt the effort is worth any payoff.

[GaryTheScubaGuy]

Clouds are meant to assist is relevant content for ranking purposes for those that do not integrate SEO so I would have them on my splash page at the least.

[casinorecommender]

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive info. Basically you say that do not loose your time with tag clouds. Right ?

[GaryTheScubaGuy]

No - especially if your site isn't structured right/ Google basically indexes each page automatically, which can be good or bad.

[casinorecommender]

Thanks a lot i see. So what do you think about casinorecommender.com in terms of structure ?

[GaryTheScubaGuy]

That would take an in-depth analysis which I've just told you how it needs to be. That takes a few hours at 300 quid an hour. You would be better off doing a whiteboard as I suggested, ScreamingFrog and getting a few people to critique it.

Once you've done that I have no problems looking at what you have con=me up with.
