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've got a new bug/weirdness going on:
http://www.bowlie.com/forum/tags/superlong/ That page returns a 403 not authorised. Yet if you click Tags in the top menu, search for 'super'... you'll see that 'superlong' is returned in the results, but clicking on it triggers the 403. Why would this be? Why would a tag return a 403? The thread tagged with that is part of the auto-generated tags and relates to this: http://www.bowlie.com/forum/music-ro...soul-mp3s.html The record in the database include the tag 'superlong' and is for that threadid. Can't think why the 403 gets generated.

here is an another bug. i dont know why this happens but this is a google sitemap problem . here are the sitemap "not found" results of my site
Quote:
/tags/tagname/blabla.php it should be like xxx.com/blabla.php if anyone has googlesitemap , just check your sitemap account and look at to your not found results.

It's because of the word 'perl' being in the underlying querystring. I have a lot of server defenses and this one I put in place ages ago to defend against the PHP vunerability that was bouncing around two winters ago. Anyhow, amusing PM from and to phlogiston on the matter, who I have to thank for finding it and reminding me of it: Quote:
And if anyone is curious, it's mod_security in addition to iptables that does that

I had a horrible sinking feeling when the website stopped responding to me, glad it was just my IP blocked for a bit and not the whole interweb!

We have phlogiston to thank.Of course, now I'm fearing a trickle of PMs over the next few weeks or when the next PHP worm comes around, when people start saying "I saw you've got mod_security, can you tell me how to install it.". If anyone is interested, this is the URL: http://www.modsecurity.org/ If I ever get arsed I'll write a security post on how to harden your server. I'll quit with the thread hijack now
