Do Tag Clouds Harm Your Site

Everyone has seen the tag clouds that tend to be on blogs at the bottom somewhere or the sidebar, but are they doing your site any harm.

When they were first released they were for users to navigate to certain topics by using tags to take them to relevant content. Hardly anyone uses tag clouds to navigate a site especially if the site has been thought out with a good nav system. All sites now days should have a good navigation system as one of the goals is took your readers/users on your site for as long as possible.

In my opinion the downside to tag clouds is they only display one words rather than sentences so it looks a bit spammy and similar to keyword stuffing. If you don’t use any blackhat techniques then your tag cloud will appear harmless as google is aware of the tag cloud but if you are already keyword stuffing or trying some other shady techniques then the tag cloud could be the icing on the cake as it were.

So to conlucde a tag cloud is pretty harmless and is nothing to worry about unless you are already using what is considered to be grey/blackhat techniques.

How To Write A Video Sitemap

If you own a website then you probably already know what a sitemap is, well a video sitemap is similar to the sitemap you would have at the moment but just for videos. Video sitemaps help google to find your videos and a small bit of information on what that videos is about. I’ll tell you what you need to add to your video sitemap to help google, once you have created your video sitemap you should submit it through googles webmaster tools section like you would a normal sitemap.

The first thing you should start off with in the video sitemap is the title of the video, for this example I will make a video called “yellow fish”. So my title in the sitemap for this video would be “yellow fish.

The next thing you would add is a description of the video telling google what it is about and mentioning the name of the video, so in my case I would write a description abit like this ” This video is about yellow fish found all round the world and live in fresh water streams”. Bit of a poor description as its not compelling but you can see from my example how I have added the title of the video into the description.

Once you have added the title and description google also wants you to add the url of the video so it knows where the above information relates t0o and the video your trying to get indexed. The play url is the one that will be indexed. Also add a url to your video thumbnail so google can grab it and put it up in the search results.

Finally you should add a url to the location of the video on your server, so this isnt the page displaying your video but the url to it on your server.

Once you have built your sitemap simply login to webmaster tools and submit as normal through, google will then crawl it and use the information as it sees fit. Googles doesn’t have to index every bit of content it finds but videos at the moment are being indexed pretty quickly especially if you have a video sitemap.

If I have missed anything just leave a comment and I’ll add it with credits to yourself.
