Title: Tags as hyperlink
Post by: meetdilip on January 26, 2015, 02:17:04 pm
I have seen on certain sites that the webmaster simply hyperlink the tags. For example if you are having something like ElkArte (http://www.linktosimilartags.com), and click on the hyperlink, it gives a whole list of content which are having ElkArte tag. ie, it is an internal link which must be (?) autogenerated based on tags.

I have always found such sites annoying and misleading but still has found that the no. of websites using this feature is on increase. This I presume should have to do something with SEO.

I've seen something similar for VB but never liked those "forced" links

I'm not sure if its for SEO or just some ad money, but I do see it on a lot of sites and find it annoying since the links rarely have anything to do with the content.

TBH I'm still not entirely sure how it should work. xD (But having a brain quite numb at the moment I may simply be missing the obvious. lol)
