    Use cloud tags on homepage?

    Should I put on my homepage cloud tags that pull the tag keywords from each post and display them on my homepage or do you think that will take away from my PR by having too many or pull the importance of other links on my site away?

    • Will not give you any traffic from search engines simply Google will not ignore the threads in his results and show the tags pages because it's an search pages
    • Will make your sitemap bigger without any Benefits
    • Use it in your threads only because it's include in your showthread keywords and didn't include it in your sitemap

    Tags are user generated and usually aren't specific. It really depends on the quality of your tags. I also do not include them in the sitemap, and i don't recommend a cloud front on a home (or any other important) page. I do, however, show the tag cloud on my 404 error page and the tags/ directory is not blocked from bots.
