Hi I have seen many websites with tag cloud... Now also this technique is popular in SEO point of view?... Can we have or will it be worthy to have tag cloud on our website?????
Your immediate response is appreciated
Thanks I used to do this with my blogs a few years ago, but not anymore. Tag clouds were really popular when they first came out, it's a way of entertaining your visitors (unlike the traditional "category" list) and for adding more keywords in your content.
I removed my tag clouds because:
- some tags are being repeated
- unpopular tags are way too small and almost hidden behind the bigger ones
- and some visitors actually commented that they are "confusing" and actually prefer the traditional one where they can read all categories with ease.
It's up to you if you still want to use tag clouds or not. Try and test it, that's SEO anyway... trial-and-error
Here are 2 articles I hope could help you in some way regarding tag clouds:
