roadmap Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Search engine-friendly Pack I ran across this mod if anyone is interested. Here's the description: Search engine-friendly Pack: this easy mod utilizes matt's show.php to automatically turn all ibf categories, forums and topics' URLs into search engine-friendly URLs, by removing all querry strings and session IDs, which google and other search bots do not like. they are the reason why ibf inner pages do not get indexed. example: http://gawaher.com/i2/index.php?act=ST&f=50&t=245 will be automatically changed to: http://gawaher.com/i2/show.php/act/ST/f/50/t/245 google hates querry strings, like [&,?,=] but using this little mod, it will simply see your URLs as normal directories, so their spiders will index your forum's pages as deep as it gets! google indexed all of my forums and topics 2 days after applying this mod and manually submitting the newly modified URLs! you can also wait for their spiders to come around, but it'll take some time [about 1 month] To optimize your board for maximum SE indexing, I suggest you also use my search engine-frienly site map mod, at: http://www.ibresource.com/?pg=db&mod=805 Quote
SEO Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 I believe a better choice would be to upgrade to 1.2. This version is 'Search Engine Spider Friendly' (among other nice new features). That is what we have done here at Total Choice Hosting Family Forums and Google and HotBot have been very busy 'reading' our forums ever since. More detail on Invision Power Board 1.2 here. Quote

kentarro Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I believe a better choice would be to upgrade to 1.2. This version is 'Search Engine Spider Friendly' (among other nice new features). That is what we have done here at Total Choice Hosting Family Forums and Google and HotBot have been very busy 'reading' our forums ever since. More detail on Invision Power Board 1.2 here. It's ok. But who had the Search engine-friendly Pack has now a address inside Search engine DB. If you change the board and you use the default Search engine-friendly Pack search engine doesn't find you. That's bad. That's why peoples is searching for an update of Search engine-friendly Pack. I'm searching it too Quote
