The Zero duplicate

Postby dcz » Sat Jul 08, 2006 10:56 am

[EDIT] The Zero duplicate Forum is opened:D [/EDIT]


Hello everybody,

As you may have noticed, this site does not output any duplicates, you can search for some, there are none.

I plan to release the Zero Duplicate solution for phpBB this summer, while phpBB SEO will change a lot as well.
As always, enhancements will be compatible with every phpBB SEO solutions, the update will not jeopardize PageRanking and Such.

To tell you the truth, I first though the site would not start this fast, allowing me to get it done, better organized, and with many How to, before the community start to grow.
But in the end, this quite massive and early testing of all phpBB SEO solution installed under many different configuration made it possible for the code to be enhanced faster.
Actually, I think we now have a really Good URL rewriting engine, flexible, fast and reliable.
And now that the core (the php URL Rewriting routine) is really close to perfection, we'll go even further, the Zero Duplicates being the final possible achievement here.

If I think about the spirit of this project, I really think I did not loose time allowing this many people to use powerful mod Rewrites, perfectly working together with our SEO toolkit. Since Search Engine Optimizing our members site's is our goal here.

So I take the occasion to thank you all who have registered during this first phase, I am sure no one will regret it.

As you already know, Search Engine Optimization requires more than just installing scripts, one need to understand what he's doing as well.
A failed or incomplete migration, poor or non compatibles Search Engine Optimization scripts can make you loose a lot of time while you try to show up in better position in Search Engines.

This beta stage will thus end with the summer, when the last tunings will have been installed here, some more mod released, and the design achieved and put online.

As well, applications for team positions rounds will be organised to set up the phpBB SEO team.

phpBB SEO being an open project, do not hesitate to tell us what you think could improve the site and the mods released.
This site is really meant for members to experience the best satisfaction.

@dcz

It would be great if you could write down 301 redirections for this rewrite rules:

Code: Select all

# PHPBB SEO REWRITE RULES            #

# END PHPBB PAGES
#####################################################


robots.txt is a good solution but it fails to prevent PageRank dumping. For example, site A links to my forum by old phpBB URL type (e.g. domain.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=xy). After doing SEO Rewrite rule, crawler that come to my site through the link from site A finds it but to him, it's a different site than domain.com/phpBB/topicxy.html. If it finds a robot.txt it'll skip it and include with a new URL in the index (through urls on actual forum link-schema). But, still, we've lost the PR from the link from site A that link in old-fashion way.

For that reason, to transfer PR properly, 301 Redirection (moved premanently) from old to new links is the only proper solution.

Since my regexps are poor, could you be that kind to write it for SEO REWRITE RULES (in this case, for Simple mod)

tnx!

with regards,

And welcome :)

As said, this feature is planned and will be released soon from now but there is still no release date still.

As you can see, this site is still under construction, several things need to be done until everything gets fully available, but, you know for sure now, that those vanilla URL, still working by the way, will continue to transmit PageRank to your pages in the near future.

Until then, make sure you implement mx Google sitemaps and mx Sitemaps as they 'll help a lot to get better spidered and ranked.

Several other solutions are here too. Please take a look. I plan to update many thing until the end of this summer ;)

Well, this is not really a support thread, besides, which site are you talking about with which mods and such ?

Pleas use the appropriate support location instead and please give more details ;)

Thank you for allowing me to test the zero dupe! This is great news :D

I will keep testing to check for anything 'strange' but so far so good!

;)

The only bad behavior one could expect would be a mod using additional URLs on phpBB script (such as viewtopic.php?t=xx&report=yy etc ...) not to be reachable (redirected to topic-title-vtxx.html) until we add a small fix.

This is because the mod is redirecting anything but the allowed phpBB URLs, in order to be 100% efficient.

Sorry, this is not really a support thread, and the zero duplicate does not use .htaccess.

We'll make it ;)

Not yet.

I am almost getting through an highly demanding IRL period, so some release where delayed a bit, but live tests are already going on.

I usually propose it for user willing to migrate, in order not to jeopardize anything SEO wise.

Not really an urge in your case ;)

So it could be useful ;)

Is seems it's not been so long since you started Search engine Optimizing : http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ah ... rg%2FBB%2F

But with PR 4 on index, I guess bits do already know of more URLs, so the redirection will be useful.

I PM you right know ;)

The complete migration procedure is discussed here : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/phpbb-m ... vt400.html

The principle to follow will be to keep the old able2know rewriterule up and running at the very bottom of your .htaccess, so that they'll get redirected.
