Added phpBB SEO link! :wink:

see: http://www.star-voip.com

One more off-topic question: here we have a "Find all posts by wycf" button. Which MOD does this?

Code: Select all: User-agent: * Disallow: /viewtopic.php Disallow: /viewforum.php Disallow: /index.php? Disallow: /posting.php Disallow: /groupcp.php Disallow: /search.php Disallow: /login.php Disallow: /member Disallow: /profile.php Disallow: /memberlist.php Disallow: /faq.php Disallow: /privmsg.php Disallow: /admin/ Disallow: /attach_mod/ Disallow: /docs/ Disallow: /files/ Disallow: /images/ Disallow: /includes/ Disallow: /language/ Disallow: /cache/ Disallow: /db/ Disallow: /templates/

Is this seems all right?

Thanks for help.

You should, as advised put back :

Code: Select all: Disallow: /post

What Google tels you is what we want, the posts URLs disallowed. Because they are duplicate of the topic URLs, being a lot better SEO wise.

There is not much we can do about the posts dupes, besides redirecting them and not using them.

Google webmaster report a 404 not found:

Is this normal?

Well its looks like a genuine 404, and for sure is not coming from the sitemaps listings.

Actually, Google reports about all links found on a website, not only the ones listed in the sitemaps.

So this one must have been posted sometime.

You could add

Code: Select all: Disallow : /function_

In your robots.txt, but it should disappear by itself with time.
