How to enable SEO on Joomla |
Wednesday, 19 April 2006 | ||||
I know, there are many FAQs on this. I still want to point out the essential steps and related information here on teachmejoomla.com:
http://www.teachmejoomla.com/component/option,com_weblinks/Itemid,22/ Step 1: check SEF URLs requirements:There are a few requirements for SEF URLs to work properly(the other SEO configuration options work regardless you have SEF URLs enabled or disabled):
Step 2: Configure SEF URLs and rename the htaccess.txt
This step requires a FTP client or a web filemanager. (such as cPanel's Filemanager). That will allow you to rename your htaccess.txt and/or revert to non-SEf URL's if something goes wrong. A note to Windows users: Explorer does not allow leading dot filenames. To rename the file under Win32, you need to click Start->Run, then type cmd (this opens a command line when you hit OK) then change dir to your local joomla folder (e.g. cd "c:\easyphp\www\joomla" <ENTER>), and issue the following command: ren htaccess.txt .htaccess If unsuccesful, go to step 3. Step 3: I screwed upDon't worry! It happens all the time. Reverting. Here's how it's done: Save the configuration.php and you're back to non-sef, but working URLs.
thanks. it really help 2. SerrBizSEF - Joomla SEO03-10-2007 00:31 Good stuff.But, users should be aware that the default Joomla SEF can cause multiple URLS for ONE content item. This is considered spam in the search engines.To fix this, we created SerrBizSEF. Hi, If your site pages are indexed in Google with an old non-sef url and then you add the SEF friendly URLs to your site, Google may regard the new URL as duplicate content and it won't put the pages in the primary index or index it atl. You're right, but artio joomsef has the capability to 301 non-sef urls to sef urls, for consistency. This option is available in configuration, if you have the latest version. I did get the 500 (Internal server) Nice Article. If you are going to do this, make sure your web server users Apache. Server software such as Zeus does not work with .htaccess re-write, even though they say they have workarounds for it. I persisted with Zeus and re-writes for 2 months, only to give up and change hosting companies. Many thanks for the article this is great as we have numerous clients who use Joomla and we want to standardise how they are all configured. Have been using SEO plugin and find it is great Write Comment Powered by AkoComment Tweaked Special Edition v.1.4.2 |
