    Unfortunately I don’t know enough PHP to actually code this myself, but I think this could be a very useful tool. Imagine not having to select keywords for your Meta Tag every time you put together a page.

    Also, I read somewhere that if your Meta Keywords aren’t on the actual page, you might get penalized. So here goes...

    I’m thinking something along these lines:

    Page specific - with option to specify certain areas only (content, pagetitle, longtitle, introtext, etc.)
    Using something along the lines of the code used in TagCloud - create an array of all the words, exclude characters and commonly used words, specify how many times each word should be used before it ends up in the keywords.

    Simple snippet call in the tag.

    Seems as though it should be fairly easy to implement, perhaps even using the TagCloud code as a skeleton...Any thoughts?

            While a grand idea, I’m failing to get any results in version 0.9.6.3, even when populated the chunk with keywords that are included in document content, and made sure to have min=1.

            Any suggestions please?

              Did you call the chunk "cloudwords" and separate the words with commas (and no spaces)?

                Thanks for your reply, and - yes - I followed these instructions closely. Is it possible that calls from the template and document itself to other snippets might prevent its proper functioning?

                  I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean by that question. The snippet doesn’t call any other snippets that I’m aware of.

                  BTW, you do know that the keywords can only be seen by doing a "view source" in your browser on the finished page, right?
