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

Official support for this modification will be at http://network.zoints.com in this forum.

Hi all,

Few questions:
  1. I believe it's been asked before but couldn't find the answer I am looking for: Can I integrate Popular Tags as a module on my CMPS home page? If so, could anyone give me a hint on where instructions can be found, if needed?
  2. We have a number of bought add-ons running on our forum, including Dynamics, Link Directory, vbClassified and Review [thanks to our investors...] Is it possible to have tags from all these sections shown in the module I described under point 1?

Have downloaded the file but wait with installing until I receive responses to these questions.

Thanks!

I've a problem with my zoints thread tags. If i set Require tags for new threads to "yes", my users can post a topic without insert tags.

I've had this running for a long time, and the tags in the tag cloud is all the same size. In the built in vb tags in showed correctly with different sizes according to number of taggins, as shown in your screenshot above.
