phpBB Search Engine Optimization - Sessions, static ( SEO )

Apologies in advance, if my question has been covered before (I've only gotten to page 9 of this thread - so far).

I just installed the SEO mod, and I wanted to hear if the following would be a problem: I want to (re-)install a mod that keeps topic view counts from increasing when the author of a post views his/her own post.

Here is the code:

Code:

This mod seems to have been disappeared with the implementation of the SEO mod. Is there anyway for the two to co-exist? If so, how would I modify the code to get the best results?

Thank you very much,

Just wanted to say thanks to Craven de Kere for his mod. This morning googlebot started to crawl more then just the first page of my site. Took only three days! It haven't crawled many topics jet, but it have at least started. :-)

Joe: I have the SAVI mod installed and have no problems with it. I think I found it at phpbb.com. SAVI = Stop Author View Increase.

Does not work:
17) Link the user post count to a search of the user's posts

Robots will get redirected to login page and will not see the list.

Indeed, if you are making people log in for the search page search engines will not see it.

You should remove either teh link to the post count search or the code that prevents visitors from viewing search.

That mod doesn't seem to touch anything near the code that my mod does and shouldn't conflict.

If anything, I'd say it disappeared because you uploaded files that did not have that mod installed.

MY mistake. I think I must have been messing with other mods that replaced that particular piece of content. I installed the SEO mod about 24 hours ago. I am eagerly awaiting google results in a couple of weeks.

If you don't mind a question from a noob - where do I find google page ranking? I see people on this thread referring to their pages having a ranking of, say 3, where would this information be obtainable from?

The most reliable way to obtain a page's ranking is using the Google toolbar.

That means to comment until the next occurance of it, both together basically mean to comment out that code block.

Definitely not normal, and also not really something that can go wrong with the mod.

The mod makes no database changes so if the topics are actually gone then something else happened.

If the problem is that the links to the topics are missing then it's possible that it was an error when applying the mod code.

Craven,
completely off topic, and just a gentle notification that the topic reply emails specify that a user can un-subscribe to this topic by clicking the "stop watching this topic" link. Looks like you have changed your [lang] file to "Turn email updates off".

Good point, I'll add standardization of my verbiage to my to-do list. Thanks.

hmm...

i am wondering how hard it would be to implement the post-names-like-this.html into the mod_rewrite rules. i know it was done, like said before, in the inferior google archives mod on phpbb forums.

any ideas? i think thise would make this cool mod even better.

I plan on doing it in a future release.

If the .htaccess file is in your forum directory, properly named and is not working then perhaps your server configuration does not allow for it.

Thanks for your reply.
I already use url rewriting on other part of my website and it works. So rewrite is correctly enabled on my server.

Is the htaccess file in the forum directory?

0 Replies

Yes it is.
It's quiete strange because if you check the links in the status bar of the index page of the forum it seems to be rewrited.

0 Replies

That part is working, what is not working is your .htaccess file.

For some reason googlebot managed to find some of my posts at the old urls - not rewritten with mod_rewrite ... I just can't understand it. I believe the mod is working properly - how could this be possible?

The strange thing in my logs it says referrer "-"

So I am not even sure how it is getting to these viewtopic?blah blah posts.

Anyone have any insight on this? Is it possible this is due to adsense or is that a different bot?
