Spider Friendly URL's with IIS.
This is borrowed heavily from fastforwards spider friendly hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=spider.
For those of you using IIS, you'll find that mod_rewrite and .htaccess are not options for you. Well, the same functionality is available for IIS. First, you'll need to install ISAPI_rewrite from http://www.isapirewrite.com/ (there's a free version). If you don't administer the server, you'll need to ask the admin to install. After the rewrite dll is installed, it's a piece of cake from there by following the instructions attached. Additionally, I installed the following hack so that I can have non members (including search engines) view the forums in the friendly fashion, and all members see the true links. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=styles I'll do what I can to support this, but I am sure a lot of folks here can add to this or modify it to be even better. It has been working great for me. A good site to view is fastforwards site at http://dbforums.com/ |
I'll be giving this a whirl on my devel box and if it works as well as fastforwards I will migrate to IIS.

Great, let me know how it goes.
|
Anyone have any feedback on this?
|
I haven't had the time to get this installed. I am in the middle of moving my servers to a new T3 that I just had installed.
I will get this up as soon as the move is done. |
Working fine with IIS6.0.
|
Thanks guys.

Google has been crawling deeply off and on all day long on the two sites I did this to (never crawled passed the index before).....rewriting is cool! :)
|
Just included some of the enhancements for multiple page threads and forums found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...137#post348137
For me, I added the following two rules for isapirewrite to accommodate the multiple pages... RewriteRule /t(\d+)--(\d+)\.html$ /forums/showthread.php\?threadid=$1&pagenumber=$3 [I] RewriteRule /f(\d+)-(\d+)\.html$ /forums/forumdisplay.php\?forumid=$1&daysprune=1000&sortor der=&sortfield=lastpost&perpage=25&pagenumber=$2 [I] |
Well, here's my current list of rules which also take into account all of the mods in the link above (see my previous post). It seems like every time I turn around there's more rules I must add because someone reports a broken link or something (especially with the modifications for multiple pages, etc), but everything is pretty well sorted, and google has been giving a lot of love to both of my sites over the last couple weeks. Anyone else having success with this?
