So when you do that how many clouds would you put on the site?

I'm thinking of generating a root level one, top category, sub-category and
page level on a CMS system. In that if you have a lot of pages in the CMS
then 50 words in the root level isn't going to really reflect site content
much?

If the metas for that page were set for a short revisit period it could be
autoupdated via cron to a database entry and pulled into a standardly named
page very easily.

It feels that it should be good for S/E indexing.
I wonder though if the S/E is capable of doing a text to cloud cross
comparison for the purposes of ensuring it wasnt used for page booting /
index spamming techniques.
