Thread: nvvegas.info

Hi,

Please give your thoughts on this New site of mine

I already know that there are only two Las Vegas Shows on the site so don't say it need more content

Las Vegas Shows

I am looking for ideas or if it needs any changes before I add more content.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I reviewed your site. I think it is nice and interesting. In my opinion, I think you should try to post more pics and video clips to interesting many visitors like me. Thanks for sharing. Try to do SEO well for it to make it perfect.

The site looks good. I like the header with the show girls and the color combination.

The only suggestions that I have are to consider adding a tag cloud and a twitter account.

Hi,

I'll think about it not a fan of tag clouds

I agree.
Tag clouds on most blogs look crappy and just thrown together.

Why some blog owners love them is beyond me.

And you site looks good, a bit dark for my tastes.

Tag clouds are great for SEO purposes and usability.

Here's a useful article that discusses the topic in depth: Effective Tagging For Both Usability & SEO which describes tag cloud links as superior in terms of SEO to the traditional graphical navigation.

I still beg to differ.
ANd getting an article from 2007?

I like the fact that it is pointed out, that search engines consider tag clouds as keyword stuffing.

I like the fact that it is pointed out, that search engines consider tag clouds as keyword stuffing.

I still like the cloud tags. I find myself using them on blogs to find more articles on the tags that I'm interested in.

The articles that you posted raise some questions on the SEO value of the cloud tags. On my usage, I think that it helps my blogs seo-wise to direct the spiders to crawl the deeper content.

Though I agree a better solution would be to design a navigation with second-level or even third-level of navigation hierarchy and use contextual links in place of a cloud tag.

Google sitemap is one option you can look into.

I just think that tag clouds look spammy and like those article point out, visitors rarely bother clicking on them.

Way I look at it, tag clouds are like those word sites of a couple of years back.
Where you bought a word and it was linked to your site.
Popular at first, but visitors stopped coming because it was hard to find what they were looking for.
Again, seo was great for those word cloud sites, but google got smart and said it was just keyword stuffing and a new way of having a link farm.
So now google looks at tag clouds as basically the same thing if that tag cloud has too many keywords.

I think a machine will become more intelligent because of the features for it. Google is not an exception. In a cloud of keywords, G know how to define and recognize them!
