Clouds Are Not Only In the Sky

A Word Cloud is another word for Tag Cloud....I'm sure you've seen one before - I just created one on Wordle.com as an example:


(this is the tag cloud for IntheInCrowd)

Because internet users have little patience and short attention spans, Web sites use word clouds as a means to guide users through their site's with ease. This method helps to increase their SEO and direct traffic to targeted content. So basically, for users its a more refined search tool rather than a search bar.

Why are some words larger and bolder than others? The more dominant the word is in the cloud, the more frequently that term is used on that particular site.

• Smallest - The smallest tag (lowest count) is shown at size 8
• Largest - The largest tag (highest count) is shown at size 22

I recommend checking out these 2 sites to see the most popular words on your site and to create a word cloud for yourself:
