Sounds quite promising, good work Andrew!

I’ve recently become enamored of the idea of creating a real index for my site: i.e., a sorted list of keywords, beside which are links (by id # or title) to articles in which those words appear/are central. Tags & tag clouds never give quite the functionality that an index gives. Nor, as I understand it, this plugin doesn’t do that—not quite—but I see it as a handy step in that direction. Would you be interested in working with it, with me as a dedicated tester, to work it that way?

Andrew · 2006-03-17 00:22:58

Yes. What do you envision?

mgbales · 2006-03-17 00:56:11

The gist is what I said above. If an archive is a table of contents, an index is a keyword list, reader-centered, like a reference page. Essentially, take the keywords that the plugin generates, make them into a list—alphabetized, say—then output a second list of all the articles in which that word appears. (It would probably best work as a definition-list.) In this case, rather than make the words themselves the links (although that would be possible)—in the way that tags do—make the second list the links, each one individual article pages. If it were really fancy, it could highlight the select term… but no reason to get too far ahead.

As I would use it, I would put it in an article form and let it it take up its own full page, like an archive, only not.

I suspect, though, that you know all that. Thinking more on it, in short I’m talking about taking the keywords generated, filing them in a database table, then spitting out the database info in a batch of lists.

pure SEO baby! :D

on the usability side…
On a new project, I’ve been adding “keywords” so I have meta data on my articles, been planning on pulling a “similar articles” list with article_custom its keywords= attribute?

keywords=“keyword(s)” Restrict to articles with specified keyword(s). Put multiple keywords in a comma-separated list.

Haven’t tested it yet? hope it works? lol

I’m going to try this plugin out & my list idea there.
I’ll post back my results? :)

cheers

This plugin is temporarily broken, due to someone at Yahoo! inadvertently breaking their Term Extraction API. I’ve reported the bug; more updates to come…

Andrew · 2006-08-16 19:59:50

Now working again (thanks Yahoo!).

Brilliant!

I am willing to bet that this would help boost Google rankings as well… nicely done

els · 2006-08-27 16:41:24

This is for sites in English only, right?

Whatever features are available in the Yahoo! Term Extraction API are available in this plugin.
