[WPTT] Redirect tag archive traffic to related posts.

Today I've added in a new feature to WP Traffic Tools that, if enabled, will redirect traffic landing on tag archive pages to a post similar to the tag archive requested instead of showing the archive of tagged posts.

You may ask why I would want to do this.

For some reason Google is creating tag archives on sites that have no posts for those tags. These tag archives pull in keyword targeted traffic but does not serve the traffic any related posts!

In order to solve this issue the same technology used to power our Smart 404 module is used to redirect visitors landing on tag archives (if the option is enable. It comes disabled by default).

It WILL NOT redirect visitors that click on tag archive links. It will only redirect traffic arriving from an external source.

It will not redirect spiders.

So if this is something you're interested in the feature can be found in the ‘Smart 404′ module of WP Traffic Tools.

Cheers!
