Thanks, the layout is simple because web UI design is not my strong suit. The homepage and articles are handcoded with some php for dynamic content (session handling, banners, list of recent topics on the homepage). I've experimented with several RSS feeds. dcz is preparing to release his latest Goo...

I dont know whats wrong but my froum using alot of hacks which editing this files any help? As I suggested before, try installing on a less modified (or unmodified) version of phpBB and hopefully you'll discover where you made a mistake. I cannot divine why EzMOD fails to find base phpBB code in yo...

Sorry, I'm coming late into this discussion... when I try to access any forum I get error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/arabsoft/public_html/test/viewforum.php on line 233 (line which contains your mod rewrite code) Typically that's because the global $phpbb_seo is...

So i wonder if to achieve that you dont have to modify code but simply leave content blank for description tag? My guess is that lots of overall_header.tpl content reduces the likelihood that google will automatically pick the best leading sentence. phpBB.com keeps such modifications to a minimum, ...

The smallest cache period seems to be 1 hour, which is far too long. I would like to have a caching period of 5 minutes, so that new messages on board can be retrieved from the feed in time. Statistically speaking, a five minute refresh period means the cache would be on average within 2.5 minutes ...

What HB was saying is the HTTP 301 redirect will help out getting out of the supplemental results. Those early results were wishful thinking on my part. Google has since realized the new URLs and the condemned content in the SR are in fact the same. Google's verdict: "Back to the SR jail for y...

And the way phpBB is coded would mean adding quite some process for just meta tags (would mean to strip all tags and bbcode in addition to query for the post content). Since Google shows the description if no query words are present, I excerpt the first few sentences and strip out tags. Yes, I know...

Evidently you have a typo around line 185 in that file. Please double-check your work and if you're stuck, post the lines surrounding line 185.

So I had the idea to rename my "forum" folder to "forums" I think it will work, because the urls all will seem to be new now and google will cache them again. I would not do that. Google will see them as dupes and penalize their pagerank. ... Google takes the description out fro...

Hello, I have something similiar like this already, but it is not the problem. Please look here and you will see what I'm talking about. The titles work but the description is always the same http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.guitartrade.org&hl=en&start=70&sa=N&filter=0 Your g...

Another option is putting rel=nofollow on the outgoing postnnnn.html links in the viewtopics_body.tpl / viewforum_body.tpl templates and leaving your robots.txt alone. The zero dupe will redirect incoming postnnnn.html references to their corresponding topic and the rel=nofollow will prevent new one...

I migrated all the viewtopic.php?=p and viewtopic.php?t= references in the posts themselves to the new format. So searching on viewtopics only gives some further insight to Google's updates. Almost all the listed pages have new URLs, but evidently the cache isn't up to date (e.g., this one has no vi...

Off topic, but I think your forum's registration agreement is the longest I've ever seen! Over 18000 words! Was this a veiled attempt to assure nobody reads it?

It's been just over a month. How's the zero dupe doing? Absolute number of pages : approx 3100 pages according to sitemaps ⋅ Google : http://www.google.com/search?hl=all&q=site:www.home-barista.com/forums pages ( 2,920 ) ⋅ Yahoo : http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=site:www.h...

Can you advise? It looks like you either modified the template file (viewtopic_body.tpl) or modified the $page_title variable in viewtopic.php. For example, this looks like it's displaying the site description as the page title: http://www.guitartrade.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3267 That has nothing...
