Talk Delaware Review

Hey all I was instructed to create a thread here to review my site.

Delaware Online

Bunch of stuff in the "Stuff to do first" thread i already did, some stuff i think im a little confused on, i'll get a little more into detail when i get home from work.

One thing is in google webmaster tools my sitemap is erroring out i think cause of the .gz extension. how do i change that to just .zip?

The first suggestion i will give you is working on the Ajax tabbed menu at your homepage as the bits have original vbulletin urls ( showthread.php , member.php )

I will also modify the thread title modification you are using with vBSEO relevant replacement feature. You can get detailed information about RR setup at [How to] Setup Relevant Replacements with vBSEO

You may also consider removing forum title from showthread templates as explained at [How To] Remove Forum Title from Thread Pages for Long Tail Optimization / Increased Thread Title Relevancy

If you will use Relevant Replacements you should remove forum description from your templates as even now you have duplicate information

Code:

You should add rel="nofollow" for all unimportant urls such as register.php etc..


Regarding your sitemaps what is the error do you receive ?

I can do all that with the instruction you gave me no problem, not sure though on how to fix the coding for the ajax tabs....any suggestions?

this is the error i get IN the google webmaster tools>sitemap details section

Unsupported file format
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

Regarding the sitemap please chmod 777 downloads.dat file inside vbseo_sitemap/data folder. You shall also chmod 777 vbseo_sitemap/data folder.

You may want to check vBSEO Functions for Extensibility for integrating the ajax tabs.

removed the title, got the RR's in place, fixed the sitemap.

read the topic about fixing the urls in the ajax tabs and I'm lost :( little over my head in the coding dept.

anyone care to take a shot at showing me what needs to be done? I have attached the recent.php file which is the first (default) tab of the box

i see a glitch in the profile pages, not sure why...

then on the contact tab it shows the url should be

http://www.talkdelaware.com/chase/

that link ^ takes me to the homepage though.

edit, nvm.....

would like the answer to the profile link problem though ^^

That page requires being logged in to view profile, please open a ticket with testing account to check that.

I got a PM from a team emmber here, i wrote back for clarification and haven't got a response....

Hi,

I've noticed that your footer archive links are being redirected to your forum homepage.

See: http://www.talkdelaware.com/f23/nuff...july-7314.html

Have you removed the /archive/ folder?

I would recommend re-enabling your archive as with vBSEO, it works as an ideal sitemap for your forums - a second path to the deeper content.

what steps do i need to take to fix this?

Didn't you remove your archive/ folder?

its still there, if i go to my ftp in the vb root there IS still a "archive" folder....

Please try to reupload archive/ folder from your vBulletin package.
