With the help of phpBB.nl, I installed the advanced SEO mod, myself I installed also the MOD that changes the pageheader. I run the canverPORTAL and am experiencing some problems with the results of the MOD perhaps you can advise me, because phpBB.nl can't they say, and they refer me to you. On the index of the canverPORTAL 2 routines are run, I temporarily removed one of them because of this mod. They both give old codes in stead of yhe new html codes.

Can you pelase give me the code change for these two routines of the canverportal to get clean html links in stead of old viewtopic? links? My board is at http://tjoogle.com and these are the routines:

this one is online and you can see the problem online in the bottom of the browser

I'll be happy to work on this as soon as the canvert portal (phpbb3 portal) will be a bit less beta.

It's not an SEO threat if you use right now these modules with the natural links as long as you implemented the advised robots.txt with the mod rewrite and even better together with the zero duplicate.

Ok my friend tnx for your reply I understand your thoughts on 'little less beta'. Then again this particular code is bugfree and will stay like this unchanged, already running live for some time. So hence my question can you advice me how to change this particular code to the new html urls in Google?

Today I had in Google the first succesful results of your two mods we installed:
I also have a question on this. As you can see I have beautiful titles and to me the best possible urls. I am very happy with the results, tnx again!

As you can see the description is still for every forum the same. It would be nice if it contained either the description of the forum, or if applicable, a piece of 'quote' '/quote' 'text from the subject so it would be different in many cases.

You know so much more on these topice and off course I am only involved in this for a short time and you are perhaps already working on this issue for a long time. Perhaps it is even not of interest to you I honestly don't know. I am only for a short time involved in phpBB SEO. So forgive me if I ask a stupid question but I would like to change this very much. If you know how can you advise me on this also?

For the descriptions, you can additonally install the dynamic meta tag mod in case you didn't, the generated meta description will be used by Google as description at least on the generic command such as site: link: and etc ...

About the portal, my fault, I did not see that it is now running 1.2.2 stable : http://www.phpbb3portal.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=677

So it may be time to soon work on it and release a patch, lets just hope they did a bit better for the messy SQL they used to have to grab post lists, need to check.

Expect something, but be patient and remember that your are not currently loosing anything seo wise, only, it will be a bit better with the url rewriting support extended to the portal.
