Resources

You may document your places at Tagzania, providing URLs of resources hosted elsewhere. Currently, our machine recognises and treats accordingly the following types of resources.

Flickr images. Image thumbnail are recovered through the Flickr API. Put the URL of the image page:

There's another way to upload pictures from Flickr, using the Tagzai! Flickr geotagged and Tagzai! Flickr Geourl bookmarklets. Find them here.

Other images: JPG, GIF and PNG images. Use the original URL location of the image. We just produce a square thumbnail, and a link to the original greater size image. We don't want to cache images, because our goal is to drive traffic to the site hosting the image, not to steal their content.

URLs at large. The machine will read the HTML title, and grab that, as well as the final location.

How images and selected URLs appear

A location may host up to ten resources. If there's an image or Flickr link among them, a thumbnail will appear in listings and windows opening in maps.

Regarding URLs that don't represent images, the first one of them will appear in listings as well. Additional images or URLs will only be visible on that precise location or route view. In listings, a clip icon and a number marks the presence of additional resources there.

If there's more than one image or more than one web URL for your location, you may choose which one will appear preferently in listings: put that resource first in the editing interface.

Anti-spam policy

Spam bad. Tagzania doesn't like spam.

All links that the resources feature produces at Tagzania are marked with a rel="nofollow" attribute. Documenting a location with resources is OK, and useful for our users and visitors, but we are against spam and we want to prevent any abuse. So, links at Tagzania may be nicely used by people, but will not be followed or taken into account by search-engine spiders. That means that no pagerank relevancy will be achieved this means. The 'nofollow' attribute is a policy backed by the most important players of Internet (more info about the nofollow attribute).
