Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[daffy]

Problem: when I visit the site, I see this in the header:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow, archive" />

Obviously this tells google to NOT index the site. And surely this has nothing to do with SSU or any SEO module. Whoever coded the template is responsible for that. If your site is not indexed by google for a long while, go to your site, right click on the page the choose to view "source code" and see if you find your metatag telling google to not index your site

I googled this and found out it has something to do with Google's own instructions. The phrase is RECOMMENDED. To tell the truth, I don't understand what this site is talking about (it's very late here)... but if you want to read up on it here's the scoop:

I need to upgrade the SEO Url, but all I can get is the version for PHP 4. Otherwise the link to PHP 5 download isn't working. It goes to the shopping cart to order installation.

The installation service is optional. you can just order the product (FREE) without installation service and checkout without having to pay for anything.

Im not sure, but 1 thing I know for sure: pfotx=15 does not look like something that zencart uses (not sure if any module uses it). Perhaps you are using http://www.sagepay.com/ ?


Regarding the yahoo index, uhm, you have an incomplete install of SSU. You havent edited the includes/functions/html_output.php as instructed here:

Im pretty sure that SSU does not append that to the url unless it's told to do so. I have checked your website and cant find that on the homepage, not sure about the subpages

If I go to fishingtackleoxford.co.uk/index.php/?pfotx=15 Im then redirected to http://click-go.net/search.php?q=ros...rt+montego+bay. Huhm, perhaps you are a victim of hack or carelessness? Clearly some code on your site redirect the users visit the above link to another site tho

I've been trying to use this program for months, but I can never reset the caches. The admin always bombs out before it ever finishes.

We have SSU installed on two of our other shops and it works fine. But it can never finish cleaning the cache on mine. I've doublechecked all the settings. I'm the one who installed it on all our sites.

I'm afraid the urls are going to end up corrupted or something so the site won't work properly.

According to the properties, there are 5000 folders in the cache... and counting. Is my FTP program confused or are there really that many?

I have 1200 products and about 200 categories. This is not a huge shop so I don't understand the enormous number of folders! I can't delete them either. If I delete them, they regenerate themselves even though I had SSU turned off when I deleted them. This bothers me.

It seems as if it's the Alias cache that won't reset. I've been able to reset the others.

I believe this question has been answered more than once, and perhaps I should try to put in the FAQ.
1. Older versions of SSU create more cache files, try to upgrade to the latest one.
2. SSU caches files based on url, not product or category, so you will always have more cache files than number of products and categories.
3. No, urls will not end up corrupted. If cache files are deleted, SSU will just regenerate them
4. New versions of SSU always come with a cron folder which contain a cache cleaning file. You can set up a cronjob to have this file run once per month.

Daffy, you are reading it wrong. It says that it's recommend to combine many tags into 1 tag if possible, it doesnt say that all sites should use noindex (and obviously most sites should not use this, unless on many pages such as the account pages which should be inaccessible anyway)

I have not got any problem with sites not indexed after installing SSU. The problem is usually because of some incorrect metatags set by users. You can try our own site (rubikintegration.com) and you will see it is indexed well.

Hi Yellow,

I upgraded from 3.6.2 to 3.6.7 and now everything is working very smoothly, and very quickly. No more errors when I reset the cache.

The simplified file structure in the cache is not so overwhelming, as well. I'm very impressed with the newest version so far. Thank you!

Sound great. I have been thinking of a better caching system as well. I will have to run more tests but hopefully we will see continue improvements in the future. If you are worry about the cache growing too big, you can use the cron included in the package, set a cronjob on your host to have this file run every 1-2 week at midnight (or the best time on your site)
