Autotags and SearchCloud
Favoured 2258

I'm currently testing this new module that I called AutoTags.

The idea behind it is to:

  • Automatically tag each search engine landing page with search strings
  • Cross reference the tags.

The issue under testing is Itemid Dependence/Independence. With that I mean basically whether index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=1 is considered or not considered different to index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=2.

At the moment the module is itemid dependent.
However, for some reasons, I'm not sure I like this. So I would like to make the module both itemid dependend and independent (fully reversible at any moment, by the way) and leave the choice to the webmaster. 

After this introduction I get back to the topic of the post: the relationship between SearchCloud and AutoTags.

For SEO purposes, the logical relationship between SearchCloud and AutoTags is the following:

  • SearchCloud "suggests" keywords related to your page to Search Engines.
  • Search Engines will try and index your website with those keywords and make a match between search strings and pages in your website.
  • AutoTags purpose is to strengthen and refine (through search engines' "intelligence" and actual visitors access) the relevance of the keywords-page relationship by providing cross-links to the most accessed page for the specific search string.
  • Once you can see how Search Engines responded to SearchCloud suggestions, you can change your whitelist items, "suggest" new keywords and restart the process.

Hope the explanation is clear.
