artilebot and tags

Eric · 10-31-2006, 01:03 PM

The tags syndrom is taking proportions day after day.
Articlebot has no field for it.
more and more are adding tags to vbulletin. I added one and for sure others to the same or will be following soon since it is hype these days.

I'm not sure how many addons there are for Vbulletin but I know already 2.

Would it be possible to have something added to articlebot for this ? Not sure how hard/easy it'll be. Maybe a fixed field where you can pro bot have something. Dynamically seems hard to me.

How are you going to enter tags that the RSS feed does not have?

Also, this forum is for site suggestions.

sorry, working on 5 things and 3 chats, missed again
can you move it where it belongs please, I can't
thanks

for the tags, reason I propose a fixed field pro feed, it'll be the same each time if filled in... like a title, better then nothing according me, else you end with feeds lacking tags, and for some it migt be important to get indexed correctly...

Most of the tag cloud systems get their own tags based on content of the post. At least that is my understanding.

You need to be careful with these types of things. If I can view content by clicking a tag, and that content is listed under another tag. Then guess what, google will view both of those as seperate pages with duplicate content and BAM, your screwed.

In the end I'm starting to wonder, what is the goal, have a board for people or for search engines ?

It is a mutual relationship if you don't get obsessed with it.

You make them happy they send you weary travellers looking for a place to stay.
