error in the code!
Even though the tags work when you click on them (via flash)
if you view the source of a page in your browser, it generates a link like this:
<a href='index.php?option=com_search&searchword=art&searchphrase=exact&ordering=newest' class='tag-link-1' title='1 topic' style='font-size: 8pt;'>Art</a>
The problem there is if you are in a page further in the site like this:
www.marty.com.au/sci-fi-gallery/art-sculpture
The url that Google bot sees is when it combines the two together is:
marty.com.au/sci-fi-gallery/art-sculpture/index.php?option=com_search&searchword=art&searchphrase=exact&ordering=newest
which will generate a Joomla error page 500 - Layout "blog" not found.
So now in my webmaster tools I have 20 broken links (as I have set Joomlus to create a cloud of 20 tags) from a page that google bot indexed...
To head you on the right path to a solution, another tag program I use (Zaragoza Clouds) on the same page generates a link like this:
<a href="/component/search/art.html?searchphrase=exact&ordering=newest" title="art">art</a>
which with end up being a URL of:
marty.com.au/component/search/art.html?searchphrase=exact&ordering=newest
which is valid...
So do the links you generate in the actual page code need to be
/component/search/art.html?searchphrase.....
instead of
index.php?option=com_search&searchword=art&searchphrase...
I hope this helps and it is something that needs to be looked at as it essentially generates 20 broken links per page, not something that is healthy in the search rankings!
For now I will have to turn this module off...
