RC3, article URL/SEO problems - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
"read more" links same article different when posted on different page types (front page, blog page, etc). severe seo problem, due way google sees website structure.
example: article name "test", category "cat", linked menu structure "news -> stuff -> test" (for simplicity, sef turned on).
in rc2, "read more" front page: site.com/news/stuff/test
in rc3, "read more" front page: site.com/news/stuff/test/23-cat/45-test
in rc3, "read more" blog page linked news/stuff: site.com/news/stuff/45-test
in rc3, "read more" blog page linked news: site.com/news/45-test
be aware article's category, section , menu link never modified through tests.
google sees several urls linking identical articles (in reality there 1 article, google doesn't know that). identical articles posted under different directories (urls) = duplicate content on same website => serp penalties.
ideally, same article should able have 1 correct url, should dependent on menu structure linked article (like site.com/news/stuff/test), , independent on location posted from. either or remove menu structures affecting urls, , let urls affected internal structure (sections/cateories, site.com/section/cat/test).
thanks, mike.
