SEO Filter Overview
SEO Filter is a flexible and extendable Search Engine Optimization Software forforums and content management systems licensed under dual license GPL and a commercial one.
How does it work ?
SEO Filter optimizes the content of forum software and makes its links SEO friendly. Therefore attracting more search engines to your forum.
- Converts dynamic links into search engine friendly ones.
- Generates keyword rich links.
- Removes session id from links.
- Transfers numeric ids (stealth method) as chars (id-0 => id-a)
- Permanent redirect for pages (301) to avoid duplicate content penalty.
- Clears stop/common words from links
- Fixes titles to contain only current page’s title
- Option to add keywords an description meta tags
- Can have title and description multiple times (see misc)
- Created link for categories (index.php?c=1 -> somecat…html)
- Optimizes paging links (e.g.. Page 1, 2 ,3)
- Optimizes previous/next post
- Optimizes “last post” to point to the real link (phpbb2 module)
Removes parameters from the link that can have default value like
(postdays=0 or postorder=asc)
- Aliases of forum files (viewforum => forum, viewtopic => topic)
The best part is that there is no need to hack forum’s source code (if mod_rewrite is available).
for more information consult the documentation of SEO Filter which is included in the downloadable packages.
Currently, phpbb2 and phpbb3 modules are available.
