    Hi all,

    I have used e107 for a long time and its SEO is not the worlds best, especially for forums and such.

    So I have just made a few mod_rewrite rules and made code changes to implement the new SEF URL's can anyone tell me if you think they will help or boost my ranks?

    The site is
    http://www.silvertails.net/addins/forum/forums2.html

    URLs have changed from.
    Forums - http://www.silvertails.net/addins/forum/forum_viewforum?2

    Topic - http://www.silvertails.net/addins/forum/forum_viewtopic?123

    The URL's have now changed to
    Forum: http://www.silvertails.net/addins/forum/forums2.html

    Topics: http://www.silvertails.net/addins/forum/123_the_topic_title.html

    Is there anything else I should add to these or change to make it even better? For instance should I inlcude the forum name in the URL?

    Daniel

    The URLs are an improvement but rather than using underscores _ wouldn't you be better using hyphen's - as the SE's see topic_title as topictitle rather than topic title.

    Just a thought.

    This is probably not true since people find my site with keywords in url on my history site with _ !

    Now I am not sure which to implement but It is not hard to change it to a - I can do that now.

    Will the thread id at the start cause issues since it will now be

    1234 thread title

    Shoul I switch it to

    Thread title 1234

    Cheers
