Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[ccc000vvv]

As far as I know about how search engine works. Google has improved its search algorithms a lot and does not recommend you guys rewrite dynamic url to static url. You should read this article (from Google Blog) before you install this mod.

googlewebmastercentral. blogspot. com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html


Here some texts from that article

["Dynamic URLs are okay if you use fewer than three parameters."
Hiding your parameters keeps us from analyzing your URLs properly and we won't be able to recognize the parameters as such, which could cause a loss of valuable information.]

Be serious, DON'T INSTALL THIS MOD as the search engine is getting more intelligent.

I am a search engine researcher, hope this reply would help.

Funny... 2008 in computer years is almost four generations.

I too dabble in the mystical SEO arts, and have most of my client sites up in the top 10 with organic growth. (PITA!)

However, I can say with empirical proof that using this DID get about 200+ MORE pages (for one site) recognized by The Google and others, whereas for six months previously they were not.

After changing the URL's and resubmitting sitemaps, it was less than a day before the included "url's in index" number started jumping. One site has gone from about 30 pages included, to now over 500. AND, the only thing changed was the addition of this mod.

I suppose I could turn it off and resubmit and see what happens...

Just as a whim, on one site I put in just one (1) funny keyword term, and added it as an alt-text on one (1) image... before the mod - nothing... no love from any of the Engines. After, you might ask? Goog 'Zombie Emergency Supplies' and see what Zencart is listed in the #1 spot. *chuckle*

Technology and SEO coding has come a long ways since 2008 (Grammatical sentence checking - whuh!?!) so it might be valid for then, but "I" believe that a readable url impacts visitors and intelligent engines alike.

Have fun.

hi,

I managed to get Simple SEO URL working but I wonder how to fix this, I have 2 languages on site, Japanese is the default but when I switch to English the page there's a 404 NOT FOUND err0r. any fix on this please

[askaquestion]

We've been running this mod on our site for 2 years now without problems (apart from growing disk usage as the cache keeps filling). As I have nothing to compare it with I couldn't say if it has made much difference to our placements but I don't think its done any harm and it does help to have a human sensible url to read.
However, a lot of sources are now saying that dynamic urls are just as good as any others. If the day comes (for whatever reason) we decide we need to turn it off I'm wondering what would happen. Over the last few years we've built up inbound links to our pages and I'd hate to lose those. That's always been my concern. This mod is a great stable bit of coding but I worry it’s a one way street which one day might turn in to a dead end.
Has anyone written anything which can handle switching back to the standard dynamic url scheme such as via 301 redirects or can anything which would steady my nerves on this?

[jcwynford]

does the custom aliases work for the other language when you have like 2 languages? i wonder why the alias is only working on the english version of mine but not with the other language like: on english - site.com/shopping/sign-display-c-5
but on a japanese language - site.com/shopping/categories_name-c-5

any help please??

Quick one -

Will the current Simple SEO work with my Zen Cart v1.3.7.1? I already have Simple SEO running there (an older version, Beta 3.6.2).

Thanks!
