Hey all.. Just had to post.. I am now integrating SEO into my CMS.. The starting phase is always slow, but when it gets rolling it is awesome to see the results What are some good techniques to use to help search engines spider your site easier? Here is what I have PLUS 10 others.. RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-(.*)/page_(.*)/index.html /media.php?page=$4&c=$2 RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-(.*)/page_(.*)/image_(.*).html /media.php?page=$4&c=$2&m=$5 which helps me use these links http://localhost/tutorials/3-php_tutorials/page_1/index.html http://localhost/images/1-funny_pictures/page_1/index.html http://localhost/images/1-any_key/page_1/image_22.html Would you recommend doing anything different?
I changed it a little more to help with other rewrite rules... In case anyone wants an OR statement in theirs RewriteRule ^(images|tutorials|files|links|quizzes|polls)/(.*)/(.*)/page_(.*)/index.html /dev/new_site/media.php?page=$4&c=$2 [L,NS] RewriteRule ^(images|tutorials|files|links|quizzes|polls)/(.*)/(.*)/page_(.*)/(image|tutorial|file|link|quiz|poll)_(.*).html /dev/new_site/media.php?page=$4&c=$2&m=$6 [L,NS]
Try to use dashes instead of underscores. Dashes are considered to be spaces by the search engines. Otherwise it looks great!
hey can somebody guide me bout CMS from start... cuz i have always ignored CMS projects .. need ur guidance plz
What kind of cms do you want to build? One just made for your site, or one you will redistribute? Also on RSS, what type of assistance do you need? To generate, basically you just make a php file and echo out xml with each item, nested in there you have author, title and so on
Just use Joomla for a CMS if yer looking for one. It is a solid application and has great SEF features from modrewrite on URLs to custom TITLE and MetaDescriptions.... We have ranked many sites using it... all works great!! I would use a targeted page name instead of INDEX ..... localhost/widgets-and-things/widgets/large-widgets/Key-Phrase.html Though I think the URL string is a tad long for my liking... /section/category/page.html is as far as I like to go.....
why on earth would you want your CMS indexed to begin with? i mean, it is the control panel for your website. i guess some pr crap about how many pages you have indexed but still. it's a cms... it's not available to the public.
