    Any extensive experience on this topic among you ? If so then please share.

    Since I while I have the idea of installing a site-wide fully automated tag cloud generator - the site with many thousand pages need a powerful cloud tag generator, most likely in PHP eventually MySQL or other db driven for static and MySQL-dynamic pages.

    desirable are of course extended configuration capabilities to adapt to the needs.

    needless to say that all clouds need to be created automatically for all old and new pages as well.

    Any experience and tips welcome as google search insufficient so far on this topic.

    tool needs to be open source, run on apache / LAMP and can be free or paid. but must be extensively tested in real life and should be active project.

    i use the Wordpress tagcloud on my blog. I think it helps with SEO (a little), and i often see google search hits coming to tag-lists instead of individual pages.
    It's also nice for visitors who may want to easily see all my posts on a particular subject (tag)..

    thanks for your confirmation,
    that point is exactly what I expected to happen - more search result hits on tag pages.
