I think XOOPS core must be better in SEO . we have some problems at this moment and some important options missing in xoops ( I think all of them solved in XE but we need some of the options in X2 )

I think's this options are to importants

1- sitemap.xml . it's very very very very very very important for SEO . it must update automatically after add news item ( news photo and ... ) in web site .

2- general share options for all items in website . we need bookmark and share options ( for example facebook like and Twitt ) in each item in website .

if you search xoops in google you see :

I love xoops.But I think we must have SEO knowladge...

Re: SEO options

Well some of the SEO Technics at XOOPS.ORG is theme hacks like Anti keyword Stuffing, this is what turned xoops.org from page rank 9 to 10 where it always fluxates between 10 and 9 so it doesn't report.

Adapt this in your theme to remove keyword stuffing which is a big knock out.

This is the title tag in the metas of your theme
<title><{if $xoops_pagetitle !=''}><{$xoops_pagetitle}> - <{/if}><{$xoops_sitename}>title>


This is the 'keywords' tag.

<meta name="keywords" content="<{php}>$pg_title = $this->_tpl_vars['xoops_pagetitle'].','.$this->_tpl_vars['xoops_sitename'];
    
$pg_title = str_replace(' ',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('-',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('|',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(':',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('=',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('&',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(')','',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('(','',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('[','',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(']','',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('{','',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace('}','',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(' and ',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(' the ',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(',,',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(',,',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title = str_replace(',,',',',$pg_title);
    
$pg_title .= ",".$this->_tpl_vars['xoops_meta_keywords'];
    
$pg_array = explode(",",$pg_title);
    
$pg_array = array_unique($pg_array);
    echo implode("
,",$pg_array);<{/php}>" />


The description tag is not really used these days, if you remove it in the search engines the whole page become searchable for information so you can not normally search for if the tag exists so render it out sometimes it is better to provide better organic and more keywords and data to search.



Otherwise the alternative in anti keyword stuffing, you can make description in the meta tags appear when $xoops_dirname == 'system' which will display it on the home page and any other system pages. the following code will do that.

<{if $xoops_dirname eq 'system'}>
    <
meta name="description" content="<{$xoops_meta_description}>" />
    <{/if}>


The other thing is we went through the modules and made sure the page title was descriptive of the page contain categories and item names for example with other data as well.

XOOPS.ORG for example has https://xoops.org/sitemap.php which indexes and lists us in minutes on the forum and other parts of the website, yeah adding a sitemap is important.

Well actually had one, here is another one http://www.chronolabs.coop/sitemap.php here is the code for this example seeming it is OS, this file normally has to be written for individual websites with XOOPS 2 Series.

Also having a session and username as provided with spiders, allows for better SEO Scores so the Googlebot or Yahoo Slurp! is an identity in the website, this reoccures the session variable for next time it comes back and improves SEO Score.
