Edi2, I was just on the Mambo forums looking for a better SEO/url solution. Does the SEF Advance module for Joomla generate "title" based urls? Sumpting like: somedomain.com/cooltopic/coolproductname.html ??? I use SE friendly urls in Mambo (Apache server) but I'm not thrilled with the /33/34/3/34 style urls they throw. Thanks!
I use Mambo (since before the Joomla existed) over at IT Xperts, together with the open-source 404 SEF module, for SE friendly links. Take a look at the URLs.
hi aeronautic.net, yes it does - it is really good, works perfect. works like: www.mysite.com/sectionname/categoryname/articletitle/ i can reccommend it no doubt for that...
Thanks expertu! Much appreciated. The 404 SEF mod is not the same as SEF Advance module, right? I couldn't read your site but the urls looked like what I've been looking for.
Im using the SEF advanced on mine (the pottery site in my sig is using Joomla and also my site at http://www.skin-fresh.com) and they are indexed very well. The one thing I have learned about the meta tags is this. You have a choice of 2 places to put them.1:In the global configuration and 2:In each seperate article. I found it is best to leave the global config option blank and just use the tags (description and keywords) in each seperate article.
A colleague and friend of mine is using it on his Yahoo rant site - www.yahell.net - I've been playing around with it on his site to get familar with it; on first impressions I really like it and will undoubtedly be deploying it on some of my sites in the very near future.
Not forgetting to mention the excellent adsense modules.Theres probably mods for Chitika and Yahoo now too.
yes, all this is ok , BUT what about ranking? is there any site in mambo or joomla that ranks great for it's keywords? and how about internal linking - menu linking?! is it as effective as menu text links in .html?
Edi2, What do you consider good PR? 3? 5? 8? expertu - thanks - important safety tip - don't cross the streams!
Sorry for the 2nd post, I read the last page and missed this most excellent tip. MKInfo - I've puzzled over this for a long time. I pay attention to both but worried if I duplicated a global tag in a story post it would look spammy. My question to you though is this: If no globals, what sayith the home page meta tags? Silent?
I always put someting on the front page.A welcome to or something. If you aren't going to do that you can just write an article of maybe 10 words for the top of your page "this site is about......" etc and put the tags in that.
This week I’m thinking on launching my site with joomla. I still want to find a good Template and info on how to configure it and make it more secure. Then just have to find a cheap Host. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.portugalalive.blogspot.com www.amar-ela.blogspot.com
I tried Mambo about a year ago and found it unrefined. I think I might give Joomla a go though. I've been an avid xoops user for years. I love that system. Something you might want to check out is drupal. It's got a steep learning curve, but for the initiated it's a work of art.
My Airline News site is PR5. It scores well for important keywords too, but, it has been under the same ownership since 1997 (I'm lead to believe this effects PR). I let it alone for a number of years while working on another project or the PR would, and should, be even higher. A five is minimum - of course we are all shooting higher, but content and traffic are king.
I see. I use my front page for rotating news stories which move off the page as they are replaced. That would mean changing home page meta tags hmmmm. Or a template solution!
