"Latest Links" SEO-friendly URL for phpLD

Discussion in 'Directories' started by Ibn Juferi, Jan 4, 2008.

  1. #1
    To understand what I mean, see:

    Example 1 (common used form for URL]

    and

    Example 2 (SEO-friendly URL)

    So how do I change my "Latest Links" URL to make it into a SEO-friendly URL like Example 2?

    This is supporters forums.
    You can afford keeping domains, host account, run non-free directories...
    So I'm sure you can afford $10 one time fee and then having access to supporters forum.

    Personally I find latest links more important than top hits.
    I noticed people submitting links, after approval, often check latest links to see if their listing exists.
    Whatever: it is always good to use mod rewrite for non-seo-friendly URL.

    Another thing is: whether we should use latest links and top hits or no.
    At least: make 'nofollow' or use redirect for listings URLs on such kind of lists.

    I have the top hits/submit/latest links nofollowed. no need to pass link juice to the top hits listings.

    the latest listings page is one of the strongest pages in a directory as it is the one that is updated the most and hence crawled the most. It can be used to help crawling the details pages. I forward the listings to the details pages in this specific page. the top hits page is not useful at all.
