Using a Tag cloud

[salman]

Hello everyone,

I see many people displaying most used tags in cloud format in their blogs (usually in the footer or sidebar). I'd like to know, does it prove to be useful from SEO point of view?

Thanks!

Useful as interlinking, but I never used for seo purpose. I preferred to use when my desire was after show off site content at a glance using it and to make site look good

Yeah, it helps in interlinking and does a little good as SEO. Secondly, it fills up the sidebar and looks like an awesome widget so attracts visitor's attention and lets them stay for more long on your website.
So, yes, its a beneficial widget for your blog.
