Zoints Thread Tags - GREAT for SEO Details »»
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Demo:
http://network.zoints.com/tags If you choose to send tags to Zoints (optional) you can see what we do with them and how we send you traffic and nice inbound links: http://zoints.com A great article on the importance of tagging can be read here. The Zoints Thread Tags System will improve forum side search, SEO, and traffic for forums that choose to utilize it. And in my opinion, it's just plain cool  When a member creates a new thread, they can now input a series of "tags". Tags are simply keywords that describe the thread.  If you then go to your-forum.com/tags you will be presented with what is called a "tag cloud". The more times a tag is used, the larger the text grows. As you can see, the tags are also searchable. Clicking on one of the tags in the cloud then lists all of the threads that are tagged with that particular keyword. The default option lists tags in a forumdisplay format. There is an option in the admincp to use a simple format. Clicking on the thread title of one of the above threads then takes you to the thread. If you have the option on, the tags the thread are tagged with are also listed above the thread. Clicking one of those tags takes you to all the threads on the forum tagged with the same tag. Search engine spiders are going to have a field day with this The thread starter and moderation staff have a slightly different view which allows for administration of tags: The forum's tags are also searchable via the search dropdown. The advanced search option allows for a variety of additional criteria to be seached for. Your members create a whole new (and highly efficient) forum search engine! If you have the option on in the admincp and register your forum, once every hour, your tagged threads in publically viewable forums are linked via the corresponding interest tag on the Zoints Forum Network. For example, if you go to http://zoints.com/tag/children you will see what is pictured below. Not only is this a great relevant inbound link for SEO, but you will get traffic from Zoints direct to these threads! Another example of this in action: http://zoints.com/tag/music The admincp options Official support for this modification will be at http://network.zoints.com in this forum.

I installed a new style over Zoints Tags, and it was just like you said with the new style only, default and my older other styles were ok.. But when I disable Zoints Tags from AP, the new style gets ok too, So I figured out that it was a conflict between Zoints and my new style, so I uninstalled the new style, now everything is ok with default.. And finally yes it is working for me now. And about the characther replacement, when you tag older threads it doesnt work, yes but since your members can not tag older threads, that doesn't a big problem as long as it works with creating new threads.. If you want to tag older threads just use the keyboard to replace "ğ" to "g" or etc...

Dont use mod-rewrite guys, it has no benefit whatsoever besides increasing server load. Stick to using the other SEO options with this mod and leave mod rewrite off. Search engines can index regular vbulletin urls just fine.
Still a cool hack though even without the mod-rewrite.

There is also another problem with automaticly generating tags.
If a " is in a thread title the auto generate tags system replaces it with quot and a topic like "hello everyone" will become quothello, everyone I think signs like " ! , : ? etc should be stripped from auto generated tags, not replaced by their word equivalent Ah and one more thing. It would be good to be able to chose the number of tags displayed on forum display separatly from the tag cloude. The cloude is a page made only for tags and can show many, but in a fixed width style if the same amount of tags is shown on show threads it looks messy. Thanks for this great hack StarBuG

Scroll down and uncheck Zoints Thread Tags (automatic template edits) Save the page. All the edits will be gone. You can then follow the edits per the ReadMe file and do them manually. Totally simple edits (7 of them if I remember right) and test each one. Will let you know hopefully where you have an issue.

1. Thank to those of you who figured out where the character replacement issue was. We'll fix that in the next build.
2. We'll also provide improved instructions for adding the tags link to the header template. Quote:
