Hi Programmers, I've installed phpbb forum to one of my websites though Fantastico auto installation. Now I want to change those dynamic url's to search engine friendly static url's. I tried to implement some mod rewrite rule which is already available... but it doen't work So I want someone to do this job for me. My website is hosted on Apache server... so mod rewrite function is enabled. I'll give you access to ftp. Also you should match the forum theme to my existing site. This is urgent requirement... I'll pay 10 bucks by Paypal after completion of job. PM or reply here.... fast Thanks Mahesh Bhat

i just did what you needed, i hope you are not speaking to me. http://fatlosspro.com/community/ Code (markup):
Its a good job done, but dont you think only mod rewrite dont help? When you have sessionID's and also no Seo mods installed , there wont be any differance in using mod rewrite. Anyway its my suggestion plz dont take it wrong.
WTF ! .. manov ... be more specific next time .... at least give responce you pm when some1 is doin your job. you got the job done as you req. it quick/fast and now you are coming up with this all sh*t stuff.
By the way, "static" urls are no more search friendly than dynamic urls. None of the major search engines have a problem indexing any of the popular forum software urls. All you potentially do with this kind of rewrite is create MORE urls that create a bigger chance of a duplicate URL which can cause your content to get dropped from the index. The benefit of keywords in the urls themselves is so marginal as to not be worth the effort and downside of making such a change.
well he asked for job to be done for 10$ ... he got his job done by me ... and now he hasnt paid what he was suppose to pay and doesnt reply to pm's.
I may be wrong, but how can they be duplicate URL's? if static URL's are duplicate ones then i think the dynamic ones are also type of duplicates. reason all the dynamic URL's also come as http:// .com/showthread.php?t=xxx which any other forum also has the same number which is similar to the case of static URL's since no forums domain name will be similar, so i think they cant form a duplicate URL. I may be wrong as this is my view. I think removing session ID's, reducing the extra outbound links , adding custom keywords and descriptions , modrewrite can help a lot for a new forum because any new forum is not a big forum. and i have seen positive results lately when i experimented this on my 2 new forums started on the same time. BTW i was the first person to say i will do this job, and i replied his PM saying i can do it, overwhich he never replied to my PM and i also know the job requires a lot of time and only rewrite wont help so never cared to again ask him for this and you were his next target
well will wait until tomorrow .. if he doesnt respond and pay ... humm i guess his community /forums will be in trouble when its up . lol
Duplicate urls in a single domain name....suppose there are two threads in the same category, under the same forum...then the urls would be.... No scooby snack for guessing the right answer!
Because the actual urls don't change at all, so the old urls are still there. You have basically doubled the number of links going to a single forum post, for example. It is not a matter of the urls being the same, it is a matter of different URLs pointing to the same content. This is already an inherent problem with forums. A mod-rewrite POTENTIALLY makes it worse. I agree those are all good things. If you go through the big PHPBB seo package whose name escapes me right now, it is a good package. I would just recommend doing everything listed except the mod-rewrite. I know, I did it on several sites and ended up UNDOING it on those sites because it made things worse.
