If you don't know what SEO is, you probably don't need it.

Anyway, you should post in the specific modification thread to get help.

SEO is SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZING... But Google is not looking to my forum while my urls are not .html?

isn't this SEO!

I meant what SEO actually means, eg. the concepts. Google can handle dynamic URLs, they are not a problem. It was only a problem a while back (and I mean a long while!).

pok i understand... but why it is not working...

Now i downloaded Zoints Seo 2.2.2 ... the url rewrite works but when i click on the items i see :

Not Found

The requested URL /divx-filmler-f8.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

i think it is about the correct htaccess file... can you send me the correct htaccess file please...

the error you have is because you did not configure the .htaccess file correctly or your server is not handling it, this is not related to the script itself, because it generate the proper urls...

and no, google is not the problem...

you will have to contact your host and ask about the mod-rewrite configuration and htaccess...

This sounds like something you'll need to take up with Zoints.

i use awardspace for hosting service... can this be the problem? and can anybody give me the original .htaccess file?

Everyone's .htaccess is going to be different based on their site, host and server configurations. I use vbSEO over Zoints, but according to this post the original .htaccess is this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

My honest opinion - if you want an SEO product that works, and you're serious about your forums and aren't keen on this kind of thing, just get vbSEO. It's worth every penny.
