Merging blog post tags within static page - Rel = Canonical?

[longview]

As a blogger, I use a combination of categories and tags in order to organize my content. I do index tags because they've been very powerful for SEO purposes, but there are certain keywords in which I'd like to be able to create an entirely separate static page with the tagged posts merged onto it.

So in other words, this is what I'd like the landing page to be:

www.website.com/keyword

as opposed to

www.website.com/tags/keyword

Because of this, I'm uncertain what I need to do with that tag page. With this, I would assume that www.website.com/tags/keywords needs to be indexed, but what would be the wise thing to do?

1. Do I place a rel=canonical on www.website.com/tags/keyword to the static page?

2. Do I do a simple re-direct?

3. Do I just leave it indexed? Will it dilute my desired landing page?

Would appreciate all comments and thoughts.

Thank you!

You can just use a canonical url and have both pages. Ideally, you would noindex the /tags/kw and link to /kw directly from everywhere but that would probably require a decent amount of work.
