You, as the owner of online store, are constantly looking for some fresh, innovative ideas to make your store more attractive for customers. There is a new trend which is called Tag Cloud Module. It offers quite interesting approach for web site navigation and provides visitors with instant illustration of the main topics of your site’s content.

 A “tag” is a (relevant) keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information (a picture, a geographic map, a blog entry, a video clip etc.), thus describing the item and enabling keyword-based classification and search of information. Tags are typically used for resources such as computer files, web pages, digital images, and Internet bookmarks. A “tag cloud” is a visual depiction of content tags used on a website. Tags are typically listed alphabetically, and tag frequency is shown with font size or colour. The tags are usually hyperlinks that lead to a collection of items that are associated with that tag. It would be possible to represent weights using histograms. However, whereas histograms typically are used to represent less than 20 numerical values, tag clouds are used to represent the relative weights of 50, 100, or even 150 tags. – Wikipedia.org  

 

The main advantage of Tag Cloud Module is its ability to highlight the most important subjects very dynamically. The basic idea of tag clouds is to represent tags according to their meaning, their weight and their frequency relatively to other tags. Tags can be sorted alphabetically or according to their importance or popularity. Both font size and colors can be used to emphasize the importance of terms. The more important a tag is, the bigger and louder it should appear.
