Laiser Tag

Turbocharge your structured content to help your users find what they are looking for and increase visibility on the internet. Laiser Tag is fast, easy to use and proven to be effective. Laiser Tag is an automated tagging plugin for WordPress that uses the Open Calais API by fetching semantic data (people, places, events, etc.) relevant to the body of a content post in WordPress and converting that data into associated tags. Laiser Tag is developed and supported by by Pacific Coast Information Systems. WordPress administrators install the plugin, and obtain an Open Calais API key which is used to send tag requests that are used in populating tags automatically on all specified WordPress content. Features:

• Fully automatic tag generation for WordPress content, ideal for sites with large amounts of information and publishing activity.
• Open Calais API integration
• Selectable top-level categories within WordPress
• Customizable relevance setting
• Optional automatic batch processing and edited content re-tagging
• Manual batch initiation
• Tag blacklist for excluding unwanted/incorrect tags

1. Obtain an Open Calais API key by going to http://www.opencalais.com/ and registering
2. Upload the plugin files to the your plugin directory, directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
4. Use the Settings->Laiser Tag screen to configure the plugin
5. Paste your OpenCalais API key in the top field.
6. Select the top categories within your WordPress site you wish to limit tagging activity to. (If none selected, all will be tagged.)
7. Use the slider to select the desired relevance score percentage of the tags generated. In general, scores of 80% are considered high, 50% moderate, and 20% low.
8. If you wish to re-tag existing content after editing, check the "Add Tags on Post Update" box.
9. Review batch tagging value. Recommended batch sizes are between 50 and 200, to prevent free Open Calais accounts from exceeding daily request limits. Automatic batches are run every 60 minutes.

Note: At the bottom of the plugin settings, it will display the amount of content remaining that has not yet been tagged. To initiate a batch process manually, click the "Run Batch Process" button.
