When I first installed the component and the module, it didn't work.
But then I went to the forum of them and rapidily It was clear why it was not showing the tags in my website. Excelent extension.
The best thing is that you don't have to fill the key words of each article. The extension creates it for you. It's almost like magic.
After you see it working it's impossible not make the donation (I did).
Thank you guys.

I was looking for a tags clouds extension based on meta keywords that use the default Joomla! search and I tried several extensions.
Easy to install, lots of options, good-looking cloud module, I think Raf Cloud Tags is the best!

I will post here what I have already write on Raf Clouds forum:
"don't have words... It works like charm. I will donate some money as soon as possible. I would vote your extension and I confirm to whom it may concern that is the only tag cloud extension for joomla that it works indeed, free of charge. Also, I think that I support your extension on Romanian joomla users forums or whatever. There is more than six month that I looking for a Joomla tags clouds extension, but nothing works so fine, nothing is so easy to use, no one had so fast and kindly support.

Tnx from all my heart.
Best and kindly regards,
Robert"

just for the records: it works very fine in legacy mode too.

Wonderful tool with amazing functionality.

Works like a charm. Very easy to install and configure. Plenty of options to explore and present your content.

I have tried several tagging extensions and I liked this best. Nice looking cloud module. Lots of options in the module and the component. Definitely worth taking a look at.

This generates a fantastic tag cloud which links to your search, making it not only user friendly but effective, too. The search returns a short sentence containing the tagged word so your user can decide which article is the most relevant. You can add or exclude as many words as you wish so you generate the cloud you want. My one criticism is that every time I go back into configuration, I manage to delete my list of blacklisted words and have to do them again. More likely to be me than the component, no doubt.

I didn't think that finding a good cloud module would be that hard, but after trying the 3 alternatives, Raf Cloud does (almost) everything I want! Displaying meta-keywords(!) in a cloud.

Both, the collection of tags as well as the cloud module are higly configurable.

The only thing I'm missing is, that the search results should be limited to those where the tag appears in the metatag and not just in the content.

Still... nice work! Very pleased:-)

btw: I had issues with no keywords appearing at all. After uninstalling and reinstalling the module, everything worked fine!

This is very good stuff. Easy installing of module and component and great to use and see on the front page.

If you click on a word in the cloud a great short view of the articles are showed with the possibility to click on it to go to the article.

Many thanks for all the work!

Wow, no offence to other solutions for tag cloud, this is by far the best. Works flawlessly, as far as my testing goes so far. Very configurable, easy options for black listing non essential words, ability to limit words in the cloud to tags only.

Very nice integration with other plugins / modules.

Great, easy, install, plugins, SEO, scheduling and all the features needed.

Thanks a million!

Great module. It has everything I need for my website. However, the Sef support is not compatible with OpenSEF.

Enabling the Sef support will cause the tag clouds to generate urls that will lead to error404 page.

Despite the fact that Raf Cloud generates keywords based on actual content instead of using those in the meta data, which I'd prefer, it's a solid component that gets the job done with a number of options to tweak. Once you publish a tag, though, it works off of the search function which does uses the meta data keywords, so it's all good in the end. I'm using it on www.spindlezine.com and it was easy to install and configure, and maintaining it has been a snap.

The one major flaw is its slim blacklist, making the manual process of suppressing the most common words a bit of a pain. Hopefully that can be remedied in the next update...?

This is a great component and module! It's very easy to install, and works very fine!.

Thank you!

Easy as, works beautifully. I just came across this and though I would give it a try. It is easy and straightforward to set up, and displays right away, lots of options to customise.

Congratulations, and thanks.
