Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

If you use aliases, google will only see the aliases
(this makes sure that each page should have only 1 url)

Not Found

The requested URL /account was not found on this server.

Great addon.
I have a question about duplicate content and names of categories in URLs for products.
If I have one product in different categories for ease of use for customers, then I get multiple urls for the same page.
For example: same t-shirt is in male category and in large category and in black t-shirts.

site.com/male/mytshirt
site.com/large/myshirt
site.com/blackshirts/myshirt

Same item description is ending up in 3 different urls, which is duplicate content. Any way to avoid that?
I would love to find a way to just have all the link in the root of the store ( without any category level).

Thank you!

Unlike Apache's mod_rewrite, there are a bunches of addons for iis for mod rewrite. Can you ask him the exact name of the module is being use, and the link to usage documentation?

Hello Yellow1912,

I still have the problem with the encoding.

The Hebrew website works perfect on "windows-1255" and not on "utf-8".

The problem is with the urls, as the he.php is not working on "windows-1255".

Is there a way to have the urls in english even when the website goes to Hebrew?

Thank you in advance,
Eran.

You can use cannonical links for this purpose. I will think about adding cannonical feature in the next version

Phill,

Im not sure how this will help. While Apache has only mod_rewrite, IIS has multiple modules used to rewrite url, each module may have certain rules as well. Which is why I need to know exactly which module is being used, which version, and then I will have to search the documentation for that module to see how I can port the current htaccess rules in linux to be used in your case.

For this, perhaps you should contact the user named xordox on this forum, he is using hebrew on his site I believe:

Using utf8 url: usim dot co dot il (this is a live site)
Using translated url ovo dot co dot il (this is a test site)

Hi

How does this compare to Magic SEO URLs?

What are the benefits and drawbacks?

Cant i choose the text for my URL? It mentions that I have to "write my own plugin" to do that, what does that mean?

Thanks

Sorry yes its me again.... also I want to know if i use SSU or Magic SEO..... how do i create a sitemap for my site?? Is there any way to do this? Previously i just had a sitemap.txt and listed all the URLS i wanted to be listed. If i add new products I need to add these to the sitemap.txt file

Also i want to use datafeeds to different shopping sites, which ones will work if i install this... because it changes the urls. Do the feeds send the original or new urls. Because i want to generate page rank by these
thanks
