Well before I had to have in the .htaccess this
| Code:
|
|
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm portal.php index.php
|
which is needed due to the portal being installed. Having the above in the .htaccess file loads the portal when someone goes to http://www.djpassions.com/test/ instead of when going to http://www.djpassions.com/test/ being redirected to the forums.
| Code:
|
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

But this is also needed in the .htaccess file so that the titles in the forum categories appear as keywords rather than numbers etc.
So I did this
| Code:
|
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

It seems to show the keywords in the forum categories but that's all it's not working in the title of threads. Also I can't see any phpbb seo option in the admin panel either
This mod isn't working like vbseo whatsoever therefore don't think its worth using... unless I’m missing something  |

It does sound like a PITA. I would probably remove it if I was having that much trouble with it...

I've looked into this more and have managed to fix a few things like set it so that the main domain URL loads the portal instead of loading the forums. Also set it so www. loads before all URLs thoughtout the phpBB software (though this is done by a standard setting in ACP anyway).
I still don't see a kind of phpBB SEO settings panel in ACP though so I guess there just isn’t one. I know once you set SEO settings you shouldn't change them anyway for website ranking reasons. I suppose that’s why they left the settings out as they aren’t really important
All this mod seems to do though is change the category messy URL into keywords
So say we’ve got
Open Discussion > Area 51 - phpBB & Easymod Tech Support
The URL of Area 51 - phpBB & Easymod Tech Support is
http://4fxearth.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=25
The mod rewrite would just change the URL from the above to this http://4fxearth.net/phpBB2/area-51-phpbb-easymod-tech-support.f25
I actually thought the advanced rewrite mod would go in deep like vBSEO does
Like this http://www.djpassion.co.uk/forums/computers/2454-windows-vista.html
Forum > category > title of thread
Oh well. I’ll leave this mod on as getting keywords for the categories is better than nothing  |

So is that supposed to help a lot in getting the page rankings higher with the search engines? I notice that sites like phpBB.com and Area 51 get high rankings but they don't use anything like this. How much do you think it helps???

It helps but not much. It helps in the way that search engines pick up what your forum is about by picking up on whats on there etc...
keywords used in the title of the forum categories are searched by Googlers etc. If your site ranks high anyway your bound to get the customers or whatever come to your site from the matched keywords results
If you type in Google Urban & Turntablisim it lists my forums at the top thanks to vBSEO  just an example of how the keywords work
Maybe the phpBB SEO isn't so good but vBSEO is the dogs nuts.
I could let you log in into my vBSEO CP and you be surprised with the work they've put into the software heh.
As for phpbb and area51 ranking high that’s bound to be the inbound links coming from the phpbb users by having the phpbb copyright info/linkback on their websites etc... |

Yes, it probably does help to have that advertising on the bottom of every phpBB forum out there. But Area 51 doesn't get that free advertising. It does get a boost from the Alien spaceship though...
