I just spent 3 weeks changeing my urls to seo freindly.

So instead of being http://www.yoursite.com/goods%for%sale

to http://www.yoursite.com/goods-for-sale

but i have now noticed that the .html is missing from the end of the url

so instead of looking like

http://www.yoursite.com/goods-for-sale.html

that is seo freindly all i have is

http://www.yoursite.com/goods-for-sale

this is NOT good seo how do i get the links to show the .html at the end please.

Thank you

just did a site map and put it on web master tools not i got 500 errors

Sample

Paths don't match
We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that doesn't include the www prefix (for instance, http://example.com/sitemap.xml). However, the URLs listed inside your Sitemap do use the www prefix (for instance, http://www.example.com/myfile.htm).

as you see

co.uk/USA-State-Business-Databases <--------- no .htm or html at the end so google will not index the page.

so how can i get the . html to be at the end of the link

so now i got

URLs in Sitemap Sitemap Total: 500, Indexed: 0 <---------- This is not good

please can anyone hep

BTW. my .htaccess

has

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

and my php.ini has

magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
register_globals = off;
default_charset = UTF-8;
memory_limit = 64M;
max_execution_time = 18000;
max_upload_filesize = 100M;
safe_mode = Off;
mysql.connect_timeout = 20;
session.use_cookies = On;
session.use_trans_sid = Off;
session.gc_maxlifetime = 12000000;

any help please.

Thank you

Ok here is the 3rd part as to my page set up

in products i have

In General in admin

Product Name: Aberdeenshire
Meta Tag Description: Aberdeenshire-County-Database

In Data i have

Model: Aberdeenshire
SEO Keyword: Aberdeenshire-County-Database

Thus my site link looks like

http://www.mysite.com/Aberdeenshire-Cou ... rdeenshire

i like it to look like

http://www.mysite.com/Aberdeenshire-Cou ... abase.html

The ?keyword=Aberdeenshire don't need to be there the .html needs to be there for google to index the site 100% correct.

So in genral the whole link needs to be

http://www.mysite.com/Aberdeenshire-Cou ... abase.html

and NOT

http://www.mysite.com/Aberdeenshire-Cou ... rdeenshire

Yeah, well, you're wrong. I don't even know what would give you such a silly idea. Google doesn't even format their own pages that way. Another day, another absurd SEO post I guess.

If this really bothers you you can manually add .html to the end of your product SEO URLs or see if this hack still works.

@rph

Thank you for your answer a bit rude but thank you.

I did your hack amd now my urls look like

http://www.mysite.com/USA-State-Busines ... abase.html

Thank you

I re submitted my site.map and they still have errors

Sample

<loc>http://www.mysite.com/PMD-Pro-Templates.html</loc>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>
- <url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/Restaurant-Database.html</loc>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>
- <url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/Uk-County-Busines ... .html</loc>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>
- <url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/UK-Emial-Campaign ... .html</loc>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>

Yet google still say masive errors

Make the paths match like it says.

Hello,
how to fix the SEO urls? Now is the 1.4.7 version and still didnt fix this problem with the duplicating pages
How to make all of the product pages to be like http://mysite.com/procuct-name ?

buyparfumes wrote:Still didnt fix this problem with the duplicating pages

And why is that a problem?

Because i dont like the urls to be like http://mysite.com/manufacter/product ; http://mysite.com/category/product and on the main page http://mysite.com/product - GOOGLE does not like duplicating pages. Could you help with this fix for the 1.4.7 version. I have allready fixed this problem in 1.4.0 but it was long ago and i see that there some new things added
Regards,
Martin Radev

Its not a problem and google doesn't care.

Ok, but is there any way to fix them? I want only to show the url of the product ( http://mysite.com/product-name in the manufacters page and in the category. Thank you

I've merged your topic with this one. See above as that may help

Thank you. I think that the solution is simple but didnt find it

Found a fix all is working fine with the 1.4.7 now - skype me: ganga_best if you want nice seo urls

Well Search engine friendly URLs. There are a few popular ways to pass information to your pages without the use of a query string, so that search engines will still index those individual pages.

Buyparfumes, how about posting the fix for everyone else to see?
