vB Google Search Cloud
Simple Search Cloud
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
A search cloud is like a tag cloud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud), that you find on blogs- except instead of showing a cloud of tags, it shows a cloud of search terms used to access the site.
It shows different searches visitors have used to get to your website. The more people that searched for a particular term- the bigger that term will appear in the cloud.
This script is easy to install, particularly if you have a PHP based website (like a blog, a script, a forum, etc).
It will increase your page views (because it encourages customers to explore more), and is also great for SEO.
More about search clouds...
One of the best ways to get targeted traffic to your website is through the search engines. And how much traffic you get will be based on how high you appear in the search engine rankings. So it is important to spend some of your marketing time trying to improve your search engine rankings. There are many ways to do this, but the two main ways are changing the text on your website, and increasing the links to your website.
You also need to look at the actual links on your website- make sure you link to your important pages, and use good anchor text (which is the text that your link appears as, eg a link to bluewidgets.com might appear as "blue widgets", so "blue widgets is the anchor text"). A great way to optimize your internal links is to use a "search cloud". A search cloud appears on your website (often on the side), and is a large list of words. Each word is a link, and they are all different sizes. Each word is something that someone searched for when they came to your website. If a lot of people search for a certain word, then that word will appear bigger in the cloud.
Search clouds help with your search engine rankings, because they ensure that you have internal links with the anchor text that people are actually searching for. Often people will guess what anchor text they should use- but they often get it wrong. A search cloud solves this problem- because it?s based on live results based on what people actually searched for. Lets say that you get some traffic for the search phrase "blue widgets". If someone visits your site after searching for "blue widgets", then the search cloud will now show "blue widgets", with a link to the relevant page. Now you have extra links to "blue widgets", you are more likely to rank higher for that term.
There are other benefits to search clouds as well. They can help lead your customers to your more important pages. If someone searches for "red widget", and then sees that the biggest phrase in your search cloud is for "blue widgets", they instantly know that your site is popular for blue widgets, and may go and visit the page. Search clouds also encourage visitors to explore your, which will help increase the average page views per visitor. This can mean more income, whether it?s in the form of extra sales, or more revenue from advertising. You can usually add a search cloud quite easily to your website.

vBulletin Integration
Shorthly, vB Google Search Cloud product will fully integrate Simple Search Cloud script with your forum.
The default script didn't work for me so i changed some variables and added a function to display the hits of each search term + make-up for vBulletin.
Installation Instructions
1-) Upload search_cloud.php to your forum root.
2-) Import the product-vbgooglesearchcloud.xml.
3-) Put $searchcloud in any template you want to display your search cloud. e.g. footer
Upgrade Instructions
- (This step is for v1.0.3 only - Uninstall vB Google Search Cloud product.)
- Overwrite search_cloud.php with the new one.
- Import product-vbgooglesearchcloud.xml.
Optional
Open search_cloud.php and change these lines if needed:
// Variables you can set (if you want), but the defaults are fine.
var $m_minFont = 75; // The minimum font size. No keywords will be smaller than this. This is a %
var $m_maxFont = 150; // The maximum font size. No keywords will be bigger than this. This is a %
var $m_averageFont = 100; // The font size of an average searhced for keyword. This is a %
var $m_maxEntries = 100; // Maximum number of entries displayed in the cloud
var $m_showCount = 0; // Whether counts are shown along with each entry
var $m_blackList = array(); // list of disallowed words. An example is commented out below...
//var $m_blackList = array("sex","boob","cheatz");Template
If you want to change something in the template > Search Templates > searchcloud

It will increase your page views (because it encourages customers to explore more), and is also great for SEO.Actually it'd be better to have search terms per forum/per thread. But this is a simple script. It does list the search phrases that your site found by, and so increases the keyword density for your top content. By default, having 50 search terms looks alright. You can set it to 100-200 if you will only display it on a seperate page like zoints tags. You can also use this script to log your google hits. Adding search term to the related thread as a tag or creating new threads with the title of the search term will help building more related content and improving SEO.

Currently, there is no function to delete the search terms.
You can edit search_cloud.php to change the font style-color.
<a href='$datas[url]' style='font-size:$fontSize%'>To change font-size:
var $m_minFont = 75; // The minimum font size. No keywords will be smaller than this. This is a %
var $m_maxFont = 150; // The maximum font size. No keyworkd will be bigger than this. This is a %

Try what VeeDubZ did. I'll check further and change the function to PHP 4 compatible version if i can.

right found the problem.....the table prefix is missing....on my database it should be like this"vb_google_searches"
you need to update the product to take the prefix into account

just looked at the product file and it should have worked...sorted it now

Nice hack, thanks.
Is it possible to integrate this into vBadvanced CMPS?
I have created a new adv_portal_search_cloud template with the following code:
<tr class="alt1"><td>$searchcloud</td></tr>
I've also included the search_cloud.php file in the Global Advanced settings page. I see the new module on my page but it's empty, whereas I have search criteria in the cloud on forum home.
Thanks :)
vBadvanced CMPS Integration
vBa CMPS > Add Module > Template Module
Module Title: Search Cloud
Template to Include: adv_portal_searchcloud
Template Content: <tr>
<td class="$bgclass" style="text-align:justify">
$vbsearchcloud
</td>
</tr>
Use Module Wrapper Template: Yes
Open vBadvanced Main Options and add vbsearchcloud to Portal Output Global Variables box.

Your problem is not related to table prefixes. You need to change all instances of stripos to strpos in search_cloud.php or upgrade to PHP 5.

Yup, changing all the "stripos" to "strpos" worked. But what's the difference anyways?

Because the search_cloud script will check for a 260 chars $search variable without finding coincidences.
Ok, perhaps I'm not explaining myself enough, but if you guys get this error, I solved it cropping the $search variable to 254 chars.
In search_cloud.php find

It's not a width issue, as the width is correct, it's an alignment issue. The box isn't centered properly, it's one pixel too far to the left.

Open search_cloud.php and find:
if ($a > 0.8)
Add above:
$datas[kw]=iconv("utf-8","iso-8859-9",$datas[kw]);

HOW TO DELETE UNWANTED TERMS FROM THE SEARCH CLOUD
I found a way to do it.
1. Log-in to PhpMyAdmin
2. Click on your forum's database.
3. Click on vbgoogle_searches in the left-hand column
4. Click on the BROWSE tab in the page that opens up.
5. Check the box of each search term you wish to delete and then click on the red X.
That's it.

This plugin is a performance killer on a site with many Google keywords searches. We get over 600,000 Google searches each month. This mod just kills our SQL database performance unless we constantly trim the tables.
Can the developer fix this?
Perhaps offering an option to trim the table after it grows to some number in the database?
Also, I think there may be other problems, but this one obviously ruined our site performance recently, including (we think maybe) causing a crash, many hours of debugging etc.
Did I miss a warning somewhere about sites with many keyword searches every day?

I'm using a custom coded version of this mod on my site which has caching support. You're right, if you're getting too many hits from Google it'll kill your SQL database performance in time. You may delete the search terms with only 1 hit. Another thing you can do is wrapping the main plugin with if conditionals so it'll only be executed @ forumdisplay, showthread. Sorry, the core script is "Simple Search Cloud"...

Any tips on best placement for an average vB forum? I placed it in the footer but it's a little too far down the page. Where could I place the $searchcloud if I wanted it right below or above the list of users who are currently browsing the forums?
What about vBadvanced? How would I implement it within a block? As BBcode or a template? I tried BBcode but it just displayed the "$searchcloud" string heh. Funny stuff.
Edit: Nevermind. I feel like a complete moron. Please, nobody look at me. I'm an idiot. Someone throw a tarp over me.

Can you confirm this plugin was the cause to lose all your search engine traffic.
Search engine referral keyword clouds are quite popular and I see no reason how this could have caused your site to get "de-indexed".
I am interested to install this plugin but I would like to hear feedback from other users.
Thanks.

like this site : http://www.travpl.com/forum/travel-italy-13/gucci-cafe-italy-327.html
Hi All,
I installed Google Search cloud in VB 4.1.6
I tried to publish it inside the footer template using the line below.
{vb:raw searchcloud}
$searchcloud
But nothing appears except the variable name : $searchcloud
Do you think I'm wrong ?
Do I forgot something or is this an issue with this VB version ?
Hi
I installed the mod in VB 4.1.6.
But the content of the variable $vbsearchcloud doesn't appear in my side bar
Does anybody know if I have to change something ?
(results are well inserted inside the Mysql table)
My issue is not solved but I discovered an issue in the product script seach_cloud.php.
I solved it by making change in seach_cloud.php.
Explanation :
In my case (french web site), Latin characters are used and google convert them into hexadecimal.
So the script gave me the error message "duplicate entry error" with the number 1062.
So I added a conversion function.
