I have installe mod rewrite and afterwards zero duplicate. i just don't want the postxx to show up on google, only the topic titles. So in the Zero duplicate options I have it this way:
Activate Zeroduplicate yes
Strict Mode yes
Posts redirections All

My questions is what I have to put on my robots.txt?
Is this right? Because I don't see topics show in google and I did install them both 1 month ago

User-agent: *
Disallow: /forum/viewtopic.php
Disallow: /forum/viewforum.php
Disallow: /forum/index.php?
Disallow: /forum/posting.php
Disallow: /forum/search.php?
Disallow: /forum/ucp.php
Disallow: /forum/mcp.php
Disallow: /forum/post
Disallow: /forum/member
Disallow: /forum/memberlist.php
Disallow: /forum/faq.php

Do I have to disallow
Disallow: /forum/post
or
Disallow: post

Why if I use a program like GoogleSiteCrwaler a lot of postXX and memberXX show?

This is the forum, give it a look if it seems to you all right

Thanks, same old questions I know, but I'm not very sure on this kind of stuff.

nobody?

Hi quizzical,

your robots.txt doesn't really reflect the URL structure of your board.

There is no

/forum/memberlist.php
/forum/viewtopic.php
/forum/viewforum.php

and so on - at least not for visitors (I visited your board with Google's user-agent.)

I would try to disallow

/memberlist.php
/viewtopic.php
/viewforum.php
/member
/group

and so on.

Also try to install No Dupe MOD and the Sitemap MOD from phpbb-seo.com (There should be a way to exclude certain URLs from the generated sitemap when they are listed at all.)

But Google knows your topics' URLs already. They are just not listed at the beginning. I tried e.g. the search results 351-360 (random choice):

http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&safe= ... t=350&sa=N

Regards
Wolfgang

thanks for oyur answer.

/forum/memberlist.php
/forum/viewtopic.php
/forum/viewforum.php

these files do exist.

I don't seem to get any google page rank as well. I wonder why?

They actually do not exist, there is nothing much to say about it unless they actually did before a conversion for example.

PR takes time to update, so be patient
