Very easy to use and setup! Simple Tags Module generates a tag cloud of most used words in content titles, intro texts, meta tags and meta descriptions of your website. You can retrieve titles from 3 differents sections. When you click on one of the words, you are redirected to the search page with results for this tag. This improves your Page Rank (Google, Yahoo, MSN...)
SimpleTags actual version is 1.6
Options:
Options : Up to 3 sections to retrieve words from, you can retrieve articles titles, content and META, Width, Height, base font size, font ratio size, words minimum size, words minimum recurrence, combine singular and plural nouns, regular expression filter, accents replacing, black list, white list, Joomla! or Google search (to increase Page Rank), custom module CSS and module class sufix.

Thanks very much for this great module! It's works straight away! I am very happy with it.
I have one suggestion:
Could it be possible to get words from the Virtuemart product descriptions?
My website consists almost primarily of Virtuemart content and it seems that the module does not do that now.
Thanks again!

Thanx ;)
I will integrate some parameters for Virtuemart, but i have to test it before ;)

This is a good extension. I sifted through several on the JED and found that this one was the easiest to deploy and worked perfectly right out of the box.
That said, I'd love to see an option which allows you to use meta data from your articles or which integrates with another great blogging extension like, say, Superblogger, for example. Imagine if it automatically used the most used words in articles where you didn't use metadata, but then if you wanted to tie a particular article to specific key words or whatever, you could do that. If it had that kind of functionality, it would be perfect for me.
But as it is, I like this extension very well. Simple to deploy, configure, and use...as the name of the application states: Simple Tags.

Thanx very much for your review, it makes me really happy to hear such good advises and compliments ;)
I will try to integrate some kind of parameters that fit your request, which could be very usefull indeed :)

Very nice and very simple tags mod. Installation takes 5 mins, works like a charm. But, please, add a "Module Class Suffix", so we could customize mod's layout.

I have noticed your request and it will be done as soon as possible.
Just go back to this page next week and download next version of the module Simple Tags 1.3
Thanx for reporting bugs ;)
I was up and running within minutes. Very flexible! I will be honest and say there were a couple of minor bugs initially, but I emailed the author and within hours, he had everything fixed and file updated for download! Talk about service! Everything now, works perfectly.. really great simple tag cloud generator!
