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.

Couple more questions: 1) Is there a way to make tag entering mandatory when creating a thread? My users aren't doing it. 2) Is there a way to parse links when viewing a search page after clicking on a tag? |

This hack is amazing. I installed it on my local server, however when I click on the tags link, I get a Server Error 500. Any ideas?

It will not work out much as the general users arent going to take the trouble to put tags and so much work....
Is there a thing that automatically puts some tags depending on keywords used in that thread? |

Thanks for the great Tagging system! I've changed the way these tags are being shown on showthread as I found them annoying at top and placed them below the quick reply box instead.
