tag clouds - I am trying to add a "tag cloud" to my site - one which is based solely on search terms

I am trying to add a "tag cloud" to my site - one which is based solely on search terms people use to enter my website.

After spending hours searching the internet for a good script I find that it is not easy to get a script because most of the scripts are based on simple things. Some of the scripts will say to enter my own search terms but I do not want that. I want a cloud that pulls the search terms from the people who visit my site.

I did find a couple of scripts both of which are php based and one used mysql but both also appeared to have errors in them. I am just wondering if anyone has had any experience doing a tag cloud like this -one based on search terms only- and if there is a website that anyone might be familiar with regarding how to do this for me to check out.

I finally found the perfect tag cloud. It is actually referred to as "search cloud" in this case. Thought I would share the internet address with everybody just in case there is anybody else who might be interested in using this script. It was very difficult to find script. There are tons of cloud scripts but 99% of them seem to be simple things that you create yourself. This search cloud is created by my guests.

It is a php script using a sql table. It was so easy to place on my site and it is customizable as well. The only downfall is that it only catches searches made from google. Probably 80% of my hits are from google, but nevertheless it is catching most hits. So here is the link:

SIMPLE SEARCH CLOUD :: scripts for sale:: PHP scripts

Apparently this person also sells scripts but this one was for free!
