Dean C: I would be posting this as a new thread in the beta forum of the new version.. But it said I dint have permissions to post a new thread after logging in... so I'm posting it here..

Some things to sday about your seo methods...

You are using a bad way to redirect to new URLs. I suggest using a 301 redirect, which helps google realize that its an old url going to a new one. If you dont know how to do that, the syntax is here: http://forum.time2dine.co.nz/google/...ects-5223.html

Also, I'm begging you, you NEED to rewrite the simialar threads. It helps google get around the site much better.

Also, something else that is improtant... You might want to consider adding a redirect in .htaccess to send anyone who types site.com to www.site.com so google dosnt index......

..and..
http://dnlodge.com/t428-how-many-mov...o-a-month.html

here is the .htaccess code you can use... if you dont kn ow how to do it, although you probably do, lol...

###### Redirect to www.######
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dnlodge.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.dnlodge.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php

since google sees the non-www and www versions of the page as different domains, for some reason.

Just some suggestions... hope you will put them into play. Those were the biggest things that I noticed.


*****EDIT*****
I was just browsing my forum, and I saw the "next thread" and "previous thread" links at the bottom of the thread, and noticed they wernt rewritten. So I clicked it, and the link pointed to the page from where I clicked.

To see what I mean, go to http://www.dnlodge.com/t868-reserving-names.html and at the bottom of the thread, click the "next thread" link, and it basicly links to itself.

Just a minor bug.. If I see more, I'll report them, and sorry I wasnt able to post this in the forum dedicated to this version.
