Tagging and SEO

    Hey all,
    I'm building a new site with user-generated content, and I am thinking about how to add tags to the different content:
    1. How the URLs should look like?
    2. Should I limit the number of tags?
    3. What is the best way to link to tags from the main page? I thought about "50 Most popular tags". I also think that tag cloud isn't a good idea.
    4. Should search results should be tags?

    I have some lack of knowledge about tags and how to use it right in terms of SEO. Will appreciate help and directions.

    Thanks :)

    firstly... tag cloud is great idea!!! dont dis it!!!!

    search results should be category & tag related. Otherwise wat else would u list with??

    no limit to tags just limit the amount shown

    urls should be either:

    /MAIN-TAG/POST-LIKE-THIS

    or

    /POST-LIKE-THIS

    this will give best SE results
