Hi i instaled phpbb 3.0.4 seo prmeod and i haved some problem with google wich have been resolved, now i have some questions wich will help others to :

1. I have
a) <title> </title>

b) <meta name="title" content="title here" />

Is this correct to have both tags ? how do i delete <meta name="title" content="title here" /> ?

2. My title are showing Topic Title : Forum title , is to long i don't thing is to good for SEO, how do i make to show only topic title

3. For keywords is there a place where i can write blacklisted keywords ? or common words wich should not be in keywords ?

4. Robots.txt file how should look to be everything indexed and only amdins part or anything important to not be indexed. I have one but is only for joomla where phpbb3 is integrated :

User-agent: *
Disallow: /administrator/
Disallow: /backupsite/
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /logs/
Disallow: /plugins/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /editor/
Disallow: /help/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /mambots/
Disallow: /media/
Disallow: /templates/
Disallow: /installation/
Disallow: /index2.php
Disallow: /option
Disallow: /blog/

maybe someone can advise me for joomla to .

5. regarding my GYM sitemaps why is he looking like this :

-www.pariuri-x.ro/forum/sitemapindex.xml

-www.pariuri-x.ro/forum/maps/

-www.pariuri-x.ro/forum/maps/forum/pareri-si-sugestii/

-www.pariuri-x.ro/forum/news/forum/pareri-si-sugestii/

My template is subsilver2, what do you advise me to do.

No answear ?

1) Keeping both is not a problem.

2) In viewtopic.php, replace :

Code: Select all

page_header($topic_data['topic_title'] . ' : ' .  $topic_data['forum_name'] . $extra_title);

with :

Code: Select all

page_header($topic_data['topic_title'] . $extra_title);

3) Yes, the search_ignore_words.php in each of your language pack. Please read this thread as well (the code for Fulltext native indexing is installed use in the SEO Premod) : [ToolKit] Search table and meta keyword optimization

4) The phpBB part of the robots.txt should look as the robots.txt provided in the premod's package, in the contrib/ directory. Please note that you should NOT implement it if your forum is currently indexed with the natural urls, in such case, you need to wait at least two month after you activated the zero duplicate to do it.

5) So far, gym sitemaps only comes with prosilver templates, it's up to you to adapt them to other themes. For the xml files, you can just keep the default styling (prosilver like) or deactivate styling since it's not required. Next version will come with subsilver2 templates, but you'll still need to adapt them to any other theme you could be using.

Thank you very much for your help.

How to get static Forum title ? Title : Forum title <---- static

You need that Forum title to be on all pages ?

see step 2 for topic, viewforum.php is for forums and categories. see step to where do you need to change the code.

What is better for SEO, Topic Title : Forum title, or Topic Title ?

I haved this question to, but i realised that for some forums is better to have only title and for other title : forum. If you wish that the name of the forum to have a big weight as keyword you should use if not just forgot about is better to miss the forum name in the title.
