ONE.COM & SEO FRIENDLY URLS

Yesterday I finally managed to get my website running SEO friendly URLs. At first I thought it was an impossible mission since I could not figured it out. At first I installed the Joomla component "sh404SEF" which rewrites Joomla URL to a more user-friendly format (SEF URL or URL rewriting): ornholt.dk/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=69&id=34... becomes ornholt.dk/about). At first it did not work, but after a helpful one.com employee helped me rewrite my .htaccess file I did succed. Sweet. Now my URLs are just a little bit shorter (and have a lot more decent look). Great!

Thank you for sharing a tutorial on running SEO friendly URLs. Though this is the first time that I have seen Joomla, I think I'll take it for a spin after reading more materials about it. I wish this will help me streamline my work as an employee of an SEO web design company who also searches and creates SEO friendly URL.

Hi,

I use one.com too, can you share the updates that you made to you .htaccess file ?

Hi Mark.

Just remove "Options +FollowSymLinks" in the .htaccess file and you are done. Remember your SEO Settings in Global Configuration. Always do some backup - before you try this.

Cheers.

Sorry, I know this question has been asked already. Where can I find this? Is it a plugin?

Where can I find this? Is it a plugin for Wordpress or something?

written by Søren Ørnholt Jørgensen , July 31, 2010
@web design brighouse: Nope. It's not a plugin - just an update to your .htaccess file which rewrites your URL's to friendly URL's.

Cheers
