Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

I've been wondering why people use the Firefox browser? On my computer monitor, the text is jagged, thin, the boldface isn't bold. The text is actually pixelated: there are whitespaces gaps so the black letters aren't totally connected. All this makes the text hard to read. The photos and graphics are ok but the text drives me crazy. Is there a way to adjust this? I find it hard to believe that this browser is popular. But maybe I don't have it setup right.

Cyndy, the real problem is IE, not FF.
IE is a browser that doesnt work to the standards, if your site doesnt work on FF then
1. it doesnt conform to the standards
2. it probably will not work well on other browsers such as safari or chrome or opera as well

FF is used by almost20% of the world, and mostly young people.

My site works fine on FF, that's not a problem. I'm talking about the FF browser: the display is pretty lousy on my monitor. So I've wondered why people like this browser. Is there some way to improve the appearance of the text? Maybe I don't have the right kind of screen fonts? Something? It's puzzled me for awhile.

Oh, never mind... I found something on Google about how to set Cleartype font smoothing and that totally changed how Firefox displays. Huge difference. Wow. Here's the link:

Very Sorry to interrupt this thread for this topic. I wanted to ask people that I knew were using Firefox: why do you like it?

1. It is very fast
2. It has tons of add-ons, some are so important that we developers can NOT live without it. (which is why most sites are designed on FF first)
3. It is more secured, less vulnerable to some bugs IE has
4. It is updated more frequently.

Just wanted to thank you for the Simple SEO add on. I installed the latest version on my ZC v1.3.7.1, and it worked without one single problem!
One concern I had was that my current links will be broken - I have a lot of them pointing to my products from outer pages. They all redirect perfectly fine!

One question I would have - are Google spiders happy with the redirect?

Thanks again!!

Yes, but as warned it will take time. For many people it takes a few days, in rare cases it can take weeks.
Again, 301 redirection is the correct method recommended by google and other SEs.

Thanks Yellow!

Would the Google XML Sitemap add-on be useful to speed things up maybe?
I have it installed.

Thanks
Gabi.

Google analytics says my site traffic is up 7% overall, but the amount of traffic from search engines directly has increased from 8% to 16% since I installed Simple SEO Url last week. I think that's very impressive. Search engine traffic has doubled in only a few days.

Can you check your server error log to see the error in details?
