Guys,
I just completed coding the SEO feature for my favorite SmartSection module. The changes are committed on HEAD, so wait till next release. Stay tuned....
Feature preview...
Originally URLs generated from modules are something like these:
http://localhost/modules/smartsection/category.php?categoryid=3
http://localhost/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1
http://localhost/modules/smartsection/print.php?itemid=2
These parameterized URL are not very effective in getting good search rank for various reasons. So I did this hack to make these URLs look like
Using mod_rewrite
http://localhost/smartsection.category.3/yahoo-mail.html
http://localhost/smartsection.item.1/how-is-yahoo-mail-different-from-email.html
http://localhost/smartsection.print.2/can-i-turn-the-ads-off.html
Using PATH_INFO
http://localhost/modules/smartsection/seo.php/category.3/yahoo-mail.html
http://localhost/modules/smartsection/seo.php/item.1/how-is-yahoo-mail-different-from-email.html
http://localhost/modules/smartsection/seo.php/print.2/can-i-turn-the-ads-off.html
Above rewrite prints many keywords (from title) in URL itself. Google started caching each and every page when I turned on SEO. When searched for related keywords; this new URL will increase the search-rank.
