SEO URL - How do you want it to work in 7.6?

the _ between words is not good because google take it as a long word, it's better to use a - to separate words
I think the better way is
h**p://domain.com/animals/cat-with-legs/21-nice-cat-is-sold.html

Please test all the special caracteres like àéèçùüûê.......

Agree on - over _

http://domain.com/animals/cat_with_legs … _sold.html
or
http://domain.com/animals/cat_with_legs … at_is_sold

Pref for these two

Without keyword stuffing its better to have 5-6 words the user is searching on

Ie cars for sale

nissan car   (searchable 300zx nissan for sale)

automotive / car / nissan / nissan-300zx-for-sale.html

or

DVD disney (searchable for princess dvd kids movie)

dvd / kids / PG / princess-dvd-cheap.html

Would be a great feature but I guess hard to do would be to remove or allow a filter here

Idea is under SEO to remove the noise words like

is, and, the

If you look at your stats from user searches you will find a lot of noise words that really dont bring you any traffic.

example

Fish Tank for Sale and accessories

Selling a cheap fish tank and accessories

title is Fish Tank for Sale and accessories

cat / animals / fish / accessories / Fish-Tank-for-Sale-and-accessories

so can we have a filter to remove the for, and from the above url.

Also it needs to be lower case with the

RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap upper2lower int:tolower
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /${upper2lower:$1}

so now its

cat / animals / fish / accessories / fish-tank-sale-accessories

only the keywords need appear

Are, i agree too with Dax about use a - to separate words and think that the best link is domain.com/animals/cat-with-legs/21-nice-cat-sold.html

About the problem of characters, i find just this solution: http://www.deltascripts.com/board/post/46339/#p46339
This could be used to remove the noise words like "is, and, the" that swapshop told too. But it must exist an easier way to make this work, i think.

it would be interesting if users, images, etc, could follow these kind of URLs:
domain.com/54-are-haugsdal-delta-scripts.html where username is "Are Haugsdal - Delta Scripts" at id #54.

domain.com/animals/cat-with-legs/21-nice-cat-sold-03-large.jpg to open the third large image of this ad #21
domain.com/animals/cat-with-legs/21-nice-cat-sold-03-thumb.jpg for the thumbnail of the third img

domain.com/rate-54-are-haugsdal-delta-scripts.html for ratemember;
domain.com/contact-54-are-haugsdal-delta-scripts.html for contact;
domain.com/animals/cat-with-legs/rate-21-nice-cat-sold.html for rate an ad

and keep following these methods... Thats my suggestions.

clonick, why links without extension is more secure? I didnt know this...
If its really more secure, it will be better to be without extension indeed. But if its possible, i would like to know the possible vulnerabilities of a link with an extension...

ARE, clonick had a great idea! If its possible to create a field at admin panel to list these noise words, it would be perfect! (so admin could write a list based in his site`s language)

(page with numbers will come in place of "next page" in v7.6? thats much better in my oppinion!)

My last suggestion about this is to show these "SEO URLs" in all the places where links appear. For ex., in tellafriend messages, breadcrumb, in the e-mail notice of new ads, etc...

If you convert non-english character to "_" there is no point to do the rewriting because the words won't correspond to any research cause they will not exist!
So I wonder why you want to do the rewrite only for english users, there are lot of European users, do not rush out of the 7.6 just to get rid of, perfects because otherwise you will receive full support request !

for most users we just need these changes:
à â ä ã å æ   >>> a
ç                 >>> c
é è ê ë         >>> e
î ï ì í             >>> i
ð                 >>> g
ñ                 >>> n
ô ö              >>> o
ù ú û ü         >>> u
²                 >>> 2
and for others special caracters like € ,% ,( ), " ,change them to "-"
we must also transform the capital letters in lowercase letters

just a question that has nothing to do with it, what about moderators for this board ? we ask you for it but no answer... I can be one if you need...

here is my code to change title to url :

function no_accent($str) { return strtr($str,"ÀÁÂÃÄÅàáâãäåÒÓÔÕÖØòóôõöøÈÉÊËèéêëÇçÌÍÎÏìíîïÙÚÛÜùúûüÿÑñ","AAAAAAaaaaaaOOOOOOooooooEEEEeeeeCcIIIIiiiiUUUUuuuuyNn"); }


function make_url($titre) {
    $url = strtolower(no_accent($titre));
    $url = str_replace('œ','oe',$url);
    $url = str_replace('æ','ae',$url);
    $url = trim(preg_replace('`[^a-z0-9]`',' ',$url));
    $url = preg_replace('`[ ]{1,}`','-',$url);
    return $url;
}

i think that the better url structure is :

-www.website.com/cat/subcat/title-id
(no extention at the end)

I didn't understand,
