[geeklog-devel] Search Engine Friendly URLs for Stories

[Dirk Haun]

It works! :-)

64.68.82.38 - - [02/Feb/2004:04:37:51 +0100] "GET /article.php/
20040126211219933 HTTP/1.0" 200 16008 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://
www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"
64.68.82.7 - - [02/Feb/2004:04:37:52 +0100] "GET /article.php/
20031221195551350 HTTP/1.0" 200 14461 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://
www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"

These are from the geeklog.info logfiles. AFAICS, this is the first time
that GoogleBot actually touched article.php on that site.

I helped things a bit by making the story title a link to the article
page in the default theme (Simple Orange):

    <a href="{article_url}" class="nonul">{story_title}</a>

Where the CSS takes away the underlining for the link.

Excellent. Thanks again, Vinny.

bye, Dirk
