New Feature Site News - SEO

[administrator]

Over the last couple weeks and more significantly, this last week, I have been working on our search engine optimization (SEO) for the site. You may have notice some changes to the URLs that are now generated by the database. Instead of weird, nonsense like URLs like autumnthunder.com/forums/index?.3456793.3435 we now are using URLs that include the post title.

The only downfall to this is that if you have previously bookmarked a URL, you may not be able to access that bookmark, but we tried to fix that so any old bookmark translate to the new URL.

We have already noticed some improvement! When typing in 'Autumn Thunder' into the Yahoo! search engine, we now come up FIRST!!! We used to come up 7th.

When typing in 'Autumn Thunder' into Google, we now come up 5th, we used to come up 8th.

We have also seen increased visitor visits as well.

If you do run into any issues, please let me know. I think everything is working properly, but I may have missed something.

Thanks for you continued support!
