Unfortunatly, there is so much out there to give your the "IMPRESSION" of such claims, I have determined that it is indeed, it is not something I will invest any time or money in. I have seen some time determined results with as you satated Zero Traffic.

I make no apology for the use of snake oil, i stated very clearly "No offense is intended" I totally understand how you may take that as an attack, but that is not my issue. My issue is the question I posed, does it work? I appreciate your candid reply and hope the best with your efforts on the product and the best of luck to who ever buys the product.

I know you meant no offense by it, but I stated my opinions regarding the comment as it is a free product that a lot of us believe in so I can't help but feel a little bias. Thanks the well wishes though, I wish nothing the best with the start of your new forum.

If you are not currently very well indexed, then the tags can certainly help. They also provide a potentially more efficient means of searching the forums, depending on how well you use them.

I have stuck with them into 3.7, despite 3.7 having a built in tags system, because this one has the ability to auto-tag threads based on the thread titles....vital if, like me, you have members who would probably never tag their own threads.

Mark makes some good points here. The traffic from Zoints.com will certainly vary, due to the size of the network itself and the popularity of the tags you have (for instance for my baseball forum, traffic rose in October from Zoints.com.) And tags are a really great way for members to search, if the forum threads are consistently and appropriately tagged of course.

The good old fashion way is content, content and more content, along with word of mouth and making it know at aother sites.

I do not believe for one moment that any one peice is the golden egg. Zoints can be a good thing, so can vbseo, I am just not convinced yet. I went as far as spednign the $300 with yahoo on another site (I guess thats hwy they call it yahoo) yahoo's like me

It takes time to build a site, time and ultamatly commitment

Yep, Zoints Thread Tags is certainly not the golden egg but for some it can help with SEO purposes and for all it can help with internal site search for the members. Whether you use Thread Tags or not, I hope you find a solution that is right for your forums JWL.

================================================== =

I am a bit spaced right now due to too many exams and too much work, so I can't recall if there is a specific fix for that error number but if memory serves me right.... I believe those are due to the tags system still being indexed with search engines and those engines following up on now dead links.
