Tag Cloud Integration Best Practice
The purpose of this section is to provide suggestions and ideas on how to integrate Tag Cloud. The items below should be viewed as hints and are intended to explain the possibilities for your implementation.
Examples
Usability
Trigger a search by clicking the Tag Cloud
When a user a clicks on a search term in Tag Cloud, the corresponding search should be launched.
Limit number of words
The number of words shown should not be too high (around 30 to 50 entries).
Function
Use the Tag Cloud for "not found" pages
The Tag Cloud is usually displayed on the “not-found” page. You can combine the output from the Tag Cloud and Pushed Products from the Campaign Manager module to provide effective, useful information for visitors who end up on this page.
Design
Use different fonts and colours
You can use different font colours or types to further highlight different terms, allowing the customer to better differentiate elements that are of a similar size. You can do this by assigning random CSS styles (see sample code).
