Simply put, a tag cloud is a list of words – in most cases, the larger the font, the more important, the more traffic, the more emphasis or the more relevant a word/phrase/topic will be on a blog or website.
Benefits of Tag Clouds:

  1. Showcasing relevant content, which in turn lifts your search rankings with Google, Yahoo and Bing.
  2. Utilizing them within your social media efforts can also help with SEO, especially now that Google updated it’s algorithm to include finding more high-quality sites.
  3. Directing your visitors to the areas of your site that are most profitable to your company.
