Re: Xoops and SEO ?

PageRank is based mostly on how many sites have links to your site, what is their PR, etc. So fora a new site PR is bound to be lower...

Anyway has anyone noticed the following funny thing: most sites accessed with www.somesite.com have a higher PR with 1 than the same sites than the same sites accessed without www.

Google relies quite a lot on titles. There was a Titles hack round here which you could use.

Another thing is: i've changed my website design 3 months ago. I've found that google cache still returns searches from that period with my previous design. So it really makes a difference between dynamic pages and static pages. (Actually I've just found that text on http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html: Quote:

If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a '?' character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them small.
)

Maybe using one of the module rewrites from here would do the the trick but... I'm not sure on how much load would that be for my apache.

I suppose an alternative is the eXploz hack. But it has some bugs...


Anybody heard whether Google has any problems with '+'?

Yes I see your point.

Your site is new and you already have far more content than my own site. Your site is number 1 if you try problacks.com (try that without quotes then with quotes). This will bring up 2 links directed right back to your URL (might have to dig) and even though you have a good selection of content on your site using problacks.com as a reference none of your content is indexed just two entries for your url plus other entries which are linked to your site and a search subdomain. Also the reference to your site from here in XOOPS forum is already in google as well... not this post.

My point is that when I used Postnuke for my site, without any effort at all, every single internal link of the site which pointed to any type of content was indexed by google it followed urls right to the content and keyed on those items so that when i did a keyword search on a relevant first 5 words of a news item or forum post, that item showed up in google and linked back to my site.

Trying keyword searches on your content returns poor results in google or the result is buried so far into google it makes no sense to look. That's the point I'm trying to make. I want the content indexed not just the name of my site or my admin name. Your site, like mine, seems to only appear twice within it's real domain name problacks.com.

It probably does not matter but try these searchs in google
become a proud member of ProBlacks
community for professional blacks worldwide
"community for professional blacks"

What do you come up doing these searches especially since these words apparently are part of your site message; a static message that will not change to often over time as your site grows.

It's just that all the other content one would think Google would spider appears no where else so that it could be related back to your site were someone to do some searches.
