I didn’t know that tag pages were indexed so that came as a suprise to me.

I also remember the big ‘Tag and Ping’ thing a couple of years back – These things seem to be going in circles!

Captain or anyone else – Are we saying that Squidoo Groups don’t work anymore or just that tagging is better than groups for building links/traffic?

Wow! I didn’t realize tag pages were getting indexed again. This is huge, as finding a tag page with some Squidoo authority will certainly help in terms of a internal linking in Google’s eyes.

What a great topic — tags! Who would have thought of what an important role the might play with getting our pages found. And, lens clouds — I’ve been a fan of text clouds for a really long time and am glad to be hearing more about them. I’m still in favor of that tool which I requested from thefluffanutta for the tag recommendations for our lenses — if while you are in the process of keying in tags, that they can turn colors — white, green, red — to designate optimal choices, why then NOT make the recommendation to the lensmaster on which would be optimal tags for the lens? Oh, I also love that feature with the + signs to show the keywords through searches that found your lens — and the ability to click on the plus sign to add that tag/keyword.

PS Are you getting ready for Halloween yet?

As expected, Great post, Captain Squid!

I’ll be injecting a Links Module, under my Review of your blog (….the #20 Spot on my lens….), so that I can link directly to some of your more popular blog posts/entries…
