Hello,
I am obviously very interested in making my boards as easy as possible for the search engines to index on their serps, particularly Google ! And yes, As far as my knowledge goes, there are already 3 popular hacks on vB.org, namely : Spider friendly URLs By fastforward : This hack changes the actual URL's of the forums and threads, which is very interesting, b'cos it actually converts dynamic URL's to static URL's. vbSpiderFriend - Search Engine Friendliness BY Overgrow : This hack attepts at archiving the entire boards in the form of static URL's leaving the actual threads and forums links dynamic. Have Googlebot Crawl EVERYTHING (theoretically) By filburt1 : This hack attempts to remove the session hash in the URL's when it detects Googlebot crawling the boards and hence making the job of Google bot easier to crawl the entire boards. I am actually more inclined towards using fastfarward's hack as it permanently converts the dynamic url's to static ones. Then again, archiving the board also would be very useful in the long run as the boards Grow in terms of participation ( ref : overgrow's hack ). So this can be achieved by using both the hacks. But what scares me is that, since the two hacks will have different static URL's for each thread and forum, Google might percieve my forums as spamming, which i obviously don't want to happen. Any solution to using both without any problems ?? Like integrating those two and making them have a same URL. I'd be interested to read/hear some feedback and inputs from those who are already using any of these hacks or a combination of the 3 !! And I am using Stable version of 2.3.0 ! Thank you for your time ! Cheers |
