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!

Please note that this modification adds a link to one of three of the developers sites to the footer of each page.
Just paid for the Gold version and installed it from the download link which was emailed.

SEO Blog <--- but why is your blog linked here as its BRAND FREE ...
Set it to "footer" links in the adminCP, they will disappear. its a bug...
I'm not noticing a large increase in SE Traffic, and it's been a month. I can see the search terms coming through, and I believe it's helped a few people get to the site. But who's to say they wouldn't have got there by those same search terms anyways.
The plugin seems to work great, but I do have a question. What is the point of all this if you let's say rank #1 or #2 for certain key phrases for a certain thread? Maybe I should keep the less popular ones and ban the ones that already gave me a good ranking...just a thought to get more traffic.
I run a forum without any sort of ads. I'm just saying it is a bit much for me, since the forums don't make me any money. I'll see the effect in a few weeks.

If you have pages open to guest viewing, i'd recommend turning adds on for guests only, i do this on my forums and although i don't make a lot of money off it, it still covers my server costs and that's all i'm aiming for.
Er even make a little money to boost your forums features with premium add ons like this one, their are a few really good premium mods available that make a big difference
