What does this plugin do?
It automatically increases your search engine traffic for long tail queries, by embedding the actual search terms that people use to find your site in an auto-updating tag cloud on every page.
This is one of the plugins used by SEOforums.org - the #1 SEO forum in google!
Full description, screenshots and more about this plugin is available here
I have also released a brand-free (gold) version here
Installation:
1. Download plugin archive and unzip it. You will find in the zip file, a product XML and
an "upload" folder.
2. Login to yor vBulletin admin control panel.
3. Open "Plugins & Products", and go to "Manage Products".
Click on "[Add/Import Product]".

~VB Staff Comment:
Please note that this modification adds a link to one of three of the developers sites to the footer of each page.
um... is it possible to make it invisible? or is it necessary to make it visible in order for this modification to work? NO OFFENSE AT ALL... but it just doesn't seem to look professional from my point of view to show random words on the bottom of the site.
Random words - you mean like a tag cloud ?

That would be using hidden text - likely to get you banned from google... so I wouldnt recommend it
I think it would be much better if you can jam those new keyword into the thread's tag and the forum tag's cloud. It will be much better for SEO.
so I answered a very similar question over at vbseo.com yesterday. The reason its not in the main vb tag cloud is becuase it tracks clicks and serps, therefore needs its own database, therefore has its own location.
This plugin is in development, so any suggestions are welcome, but thats the reason its not just "auto creating" tags based on search queries, because its storing more info than tags permit.
Juan Murientes at vbSEO has let me know that they were going to add this to vbseo about three years ago, and that they like the concept... here is the original thread from 2007 (that I was not aware of btw)
I have a bug, I think an easy one (probably a typo), but I can´t find it. The product destroys my sidebar.
In the moment I activate the plugin and a search-key is there for a site, the whole sidebar is pulled down besides the products search-key-list. Any Idea, how to solve that?
Very nice mod, MoGMartin. Good job. Anyway a suggestion
Moving the copyright down to the footer would be fine. ATM it looks kinda strange where it is now. Yesterday you announced to move the copyright down to the footer (therefor I removed it in the actual version). Has this already been fixed in the update ? Does the encoding for other languages now even include the german special characters Ä, ä, Ö, ö, Ü, ü, and ß ?
The stats-listing in the admincp could cause some problems (indeed, for me it will be an actual problem. Installed yesterday, today I had over 14000 results and had to clear the table manually to get the site loaded :x ). It needs some pagination or the results will come up as an endless list. Most users could run into php limits on their servers and the list would be broken.
It would be great to have an option to not only sort the results. For me it´s interesting which keywords and search terms have been used most - so I can get more information what the users are actual searching for and can set the heading of my forums that way to fit the needs of my community. So a descending/ascending order - especially for No of Searches - would be a really great addition.

Best wishes, Julian!
