    Default Problem with SEO URLs

    Hi Guys,

    I would like to ask for help.
    I use 1.3.9h Zencart with SEU Urls and now I see, that it is important to change a Urls form.
    Now my urls looks like:
    www.shop.com/greatrgbledstrips-p-88155.html

    but google told me, that It is important to separate words with "-" and change these links to this form:
    www.shop.com/great-rgb-led-strips-p-88155.html

    Can someone please help me?
    Thank you.

    Using hyphens to separate words in URL phrases is important to both user readability and search engine optimization. Google recommends using hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in URLs because hyphens are treated as spaces between words, while words connected by underscores are viewed as one word.

    And how to use Alternative URLs (with " " replaced by a "-") has already been answered in the other thread. Of course one still needs to ensure they are naming the product / category / ezpage in a friendly manner :)



    NOTE: There are at least two Alternate URL plugins for Zen Cart which replace " " with a "-" by default when generating alternative URLs based on product / category / ezpage names.

    Where are the Zen Cart Debug Logs? Where are the HTTP 500 / Server Error Logs?
