Search Engine Friendly URL Rewriting

Hi,
Has anyone done any kind of URL rewriting to convert the big, query ridden portal
URLs to search engine friendly URLs?
eg. Portal URL: http://somedomain/application?event=blah&pageID=blah&blah=blahblahblah
gets converted to
http://somedomain/pageID/page.htm or something like that.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Parag

Filter your recordset based off text values for your table fields ex. field 'model' will have values Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, etc. and field 'color' will have values red, blue, green. etc.
The filtered URL will be www.example.com/?model=Honda&color=red to show all red Hondas in the filtered recordset.
Using .htacces mod_rewrite you can convert the above example to something like www.example.com/red/honda.html

Search engine friendly URLs

Is it possible to use search engine friendly URLs like http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource with JSP?.
Does any frameworks support this feature?
Edited by: SreejithS on Sep 15, 2009 10:07 AM

you may want to remap the URL to your jsps, like
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Foo</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>foo.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Foo</servlet-name>
<url-mapping>/very/friendly/foo</url-mapping>
</servlet-mapping>

MX Includes (or whatever they are called after the take-over) search engines friendly urls - what am

Hi
I have a set-up with PHP, Apache (mod-rewrite enabled), using "MX includes" and I'm trying get it to work with "/whatever" instead of "mod=whatever" having removed the "mod" from the server behavior. In the database (includes from table) I have added a / before the url.
But it just does not work. When calling e.g. index.php/news nothing is returned.
What could I be doing wrong?

Computer operation 101.
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Making my website search engine friendly

Hi there
Hope somebody might be able to help me..
I am trying to make my website search engine friendly so that it lists the website, has a good ranking etc.
I have built my website with dreamweaver and some flash elements. I have used both flv content for streaming
video and swfs for information on certain pages.
The problem I have is that the website is totally built using AP divs with images inside (or the flash elements mentioned).
There is no text, unless it is contained within a jpeg, or swf.
I gather that search engines don't read images. So I have used alternative text for most of the
images, which I gather search engines, such as google, can read.
I have also used page titles, inserted html head tag descriptions and keywords.
Is there anything else I can do to make my website more search engine friendly?
Somebody told me that I should try to have hidden paragraphs of text, because it is important
that search engines have enough text to detect within my site..
Is is not enough that I have provided alt text for the images? Or should I include these hidden paragraphs of text..
And if so, how?
Also, some of my AP div images contain quite a lot of text within them.. I notice that when inserting the image
into the AP div, it gives you the option to insert alternative text OR provide a url with a longer description contained
within it.. How does that work? Is the url a html document with text inside?
Please let mne know if you have any ideas regarding any of this.
Regards
Sarah

Is is not enough that I have provided alt text for the images? Or
should I include these hidden paragraphs of text.. And if so, how?
Alt text is for web accessibility. Say your image doesn't load, alt="description" appears in the browser to give visitors some idea of what the missing image is. Similarly, Screen Readers express Alt text to people who cannot see images.
Will putting alt text on images improve your Google ranking? Not all by itself. Alt is no substitute for good old fashioned content inside HTML headings <h1> <h2> <h3>, paragraphs and lists.
Put keyword rich content on your site. Use Flash Object swapping to show Flash to people who have support for it. Everyone without Flash, including engines, screen readers and translators will get the HTML version. If JavaScript is disabled, both versions will display.
More on FlashObject swapping below:

Designing A Search Engine Friendly Website
There are many factors that hinder search engines from ranking Websites for many keywords. When web development companies create Websites, often they do not create Websites for the search engines. Usually, they design sites strictly for Internet users.

...or will the meta tags (description, keywords, etc.) placed in
the index.html file be sufficient to gain substantial rank?
I would say that depends on your Market and your choice of
Keywords. If your market is saturated then it's gonna be a tough
one. If you know the Keywords people use to Search for products in
your Market... I would say that's as good as it can/will get.
You can always Submit your site to the Search Engines in
hopes of being ranked high.
If it seems worth it... you can always go the Pay per Click
route.

Drop down menus / search engine friendly

Hi,
I've been tasked with creating a new company website and having it go live April 10th. I would like to use iWeb to get it done.
Are drop down menus possible with iWeb? To be clear, I'm talking about if you hover your cursor over a menu item; say products, a drop down menu will appear listing specific products and link to that products page.
The other main requirement is that the site be search engine friendly. Our current website is in Flash and is virtually invisible to search engines.
I hope that these questions haven't been answered by digging just a little further, it's just that I'm under a tight deadline and must get started.
I've been a Mac user since 88 and I would like to work on my preferred platform. I've got a decent background in design. (I'd like to not use Dreamweaver under this deadline) Our current website is www.rapid.com. It was made from a flash template that I was told to use so I made the best of it.
I'm going for a clean looking non fussy user experience, unlike what we have now.
Thanks for any help you may have.

As Massimo says, they are just fine in the basic sense.
The adminition you are familiar with was related to *any*
menu system that
embedded your actual menu links within javascript
'document.write' commands,
just the way the DW pop-up menus prior to CS3 does, and the
way the FW
pop-up menus prior to FW8 did.
If you can look at the HTML on the psge, and SEE the links in
the HTML, then
a search engine will also be able to see them, and therefore
spider your
site.
BUT - if you have sub-menus, and I have javascript disabled,
*I* will not be
able to access those sub-menu links when I come to your site.
Further,
neither will anyone with a screen reader. That's a
problem....

Search Engine keyword.url, URL

How would I figure out what the search engine's URL is if I wanted to add it to the keyword.url? I know the main search engine's URL's for keyword.url, but what if I wanted to use another search engine in the awesome bar that isn't popular?

You can right-click the search bar on the page and use add a keyword for this search to create a bookmark for that particular search engine to see its URL.
Then you can use that URL without the %s parameter for the keyword.URL pref (reorder the GET parameter is the query parameter is not the last).

Changing search engine box also changes default search engine in URL bar

I just updated to 23.0, and for some reason changing the search engine in the search box also changes the default search engine in the URL bar as well. I'm not sure if this is intended functionality (I hope it isn't), but it is kind of irritating. I wasn't sure if it was related to an addon I installed around the same time, so I tried disabling that, but the problem was still there; therefore, I'm tentatively assuming it has to do with 23.0.

I'd like to cast my (imaginary) vote in opting out of this behaviour. I hate it.
We previously had the option of two search bars. Now it's reduced to one.
The URL bar should be for URLs with default to google for real name searches. That's what makes sense. Not having typos look up YouTube, The PirateBay or whatever you have specced in the Search Bar.
Really, really, stupid change. At least give us the option of restoring the old system.

Redirect - "Search Engine Friendly"

<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","
http://www.moreproductinfo.com/index.asp");
%>
Was looking at a site that had the above code as a
recommendation to add
to a page to "correctly" pass on information to search
engines.
I thought it should go with my redirect but I end up with
errors in ASP
<%
If Request.Querystring() = "" Then
Response.Redirect("index.asp")
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","
http://www.new-url.com/");
End If
%>
This is what the actual redirect looks like... It looked
right to me but
it comes up with errors:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/1.asp, line 262
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
---------------------------------------^
Any ideas how this should be implemented? Do I put it on the
page I'm
redirecting from or to? Where on the page, does it matter?
Formatting?

yeah, you don't need the brackets :
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "
http://www.mysite.com/new-page.asp"
%>

Changing basic search engine from url

Before I downloaded Weather channel destop, when I would type any general term in the URL it automatically went to google search. Now when I type a general term in the URL Box it goes to ASK.com I have google in my search engine in the search box to the right but I want it to be my "go to" search when I type in anything in the URL. Is there anyway I can change it back to GOOGLE vs. Ask.com?
Thanks

Search Engine-friendly while content copying blocked?

Hi all
I am trying to see if there is a way to create a PDF file that has "Copying content" blocked, without stopping a search engine from reading and indexing that content. is there any way to do this?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Filter your recordset based off text values for your table fields ex. field 'model' will have values Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, etc. and field 'color' will have values red, blue, green. etc.
The filtered URL will be www.example.com/?model=Honda&color=red to show all red Hondas in the filtered recordset.
Using .htacces mod_rewrite you can convert the above example to something like www.example.com/red/honda.html

Search Engine friendly text in Flash websites

Does anyone know if search engines pick up text (selectable text) like they do on html websites to get better rankings?
Thanks in advance.
Shaneo

From what I've read page ranking is mostly determined by the number of links referring to your site and links from high ranking sites like youtube myspace, Adobe Forums are especially valuable. So if I put links to some of my pages here like http://jimslounge.com , http://charliegooddog.org or http://cybermountainwebservices.com or http://cybermountainwebservices.com/date/ then they might get a slightly higher ranking.

APEX: Internet domain mapping / URL rewrite for Apps in the cloud

Hello,
I have registered for a trial access since first day in which the cloud was launched ... But, did not get access till now ... If I were to buy it, am I going to get access right away ??
Is Oracle Cloud going to offer Internet domain name mapping to a specific APEX application ???
Is Oracle Cloud u going to offer URL rewrite where APEX URL is not Search Engine friendly.... e.g:
This site: http://www.enkitec.com/ was built on APEX, but as you can see the URL was rewritten ????

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the rule was not processing for SharePoint 2013 result page.
Please make sure you add the reverse rewriting rule correctly.

How to make my site top in the search engines for a high ranking?

I am new at this, and I am planning to build a big site on iweb, but my question is where can I get information on how to make my site with high rankings? Would I have to post my site in lots of search engines, or have the hosting company help out? how do i do this?

As SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is important to you, you may want to consider alternatives to iWeb as "iWeb websites are not made to be search engine friendly" — read more here:
SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines
...iWeb is designed for personal sites and, as such, Apple apparently thinks there's no need for Google — you tell grandma the URL of your personal iWeb site, she painstakingly types it in and then gazes admiringly at the photos of her grandchildren.
Apple hasn't changed this approach in three iterations of iWeb but perhaps, with all the feedback it receives on this issue, there's still hope. Meanwhile, web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate search engine optimization — Sandvox Pro is an example:
http://www.karelia.com/sandvox/getyour_site_noticed_andb.html
Another advantage of Sandvox is that, when viewing your site in Safari, the text increase & decrease commands will work — they don't work for an iWeb-created site. ...For business use, it's important that customers don't turn away from your site because they consider your text too small to read.
However, if you still really want to use iWeb, this article may help:
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/SEO.html
By the way, for more info about SEO in general, this blog of a web-design app (Yola) recently started a multi-part series on the subject — the first is here:

Web friendly URLs

Could anyone advise on the best way to do this?
I'd like my URL's to make more sense then they do at present.
Currently I structure my sites to pull in cfinclude using a
variable for each area, index.cfm?area=foo.
It works fine but I'd like to browse to a folder instead,
something like, www.mysite.com/foo/
Is it best practice to sturcture it like this? ie better for
google etc.
Any advise much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Here's a blog post I did on "Search Engine Friendly" links.
Although this is
always a matter of debate, the vast amount of evidence on the
web points to
the fact that your time is probably spent better elsewhere
than on trying to
create SEO Links.
