Absolutely agree with this.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote:people are not looking for YOUR webpage. they are looking for information about something.
It might.If your webpage happens to have the most relevant, most current information about that subject, then you will show up at the top of the list of returns for what they type in.

Yup, that's why I did it that way in my example.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote:you also have to be careful how you create those SEO friendly urls.
google, etc. like the hyphen/dash
therefore:
best-green-widgets.html
will be seen as separate words.
therefore, the search engine will bring you back results with that exact phrase and then results with all combinations of those words and then with each individual word.

yes, I noticed, I was just giving a little FYI for others. I have seen many people use underscores in file names not knowing it was incorrect for this purpose.drathbun wrote:Yup, that's why I did it that way in my example.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote:you also have to be careful how you create those SEO friendly urls.

The question is if parameters are the same as you describe in your example:
http://www.mysite.com/yellow-pictures.php
Is as well as
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?q=yellow+pictures
Which one will get better placement (considering only the url) if someone search for yellow pictures?
good to know about phpbb3. still, unregistered search engines will appear as guests, so i think some measures should be taken anyway. probably the simplest place to begin is adding posting.php to robots.txtiWisdom wrote:As for phpBB3, it does not. Bots are in a special usergroup (named, coincidentally, Bots), and their permissions can be set separately. There's a permission role (Bot Access) for bots that not only hides things like that, but numerous other sources of duplicate links.
It is also worth noting that having your phpBB2 board open to guest posting sets you up for torrential amounts of spam
