An aquaintance of mine took a look at the back end of my website with a view to SEO and came up with the following comment:
************************
"All your image links on the homepage int he middle goto links like this
http://www.madaboutjewellery.com/cgi...html&NOLOGIN=1
They then hit that page like this:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.madaboutjewellery.com/acatalog/handbag_charms_key_rings.html">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!-- hide from older browsers
setTimeout("ForwardPage()", 1000);
function ForwardPage()
{
var sURL = 'http://www.madaboutjewellery.com/acatalog/handbag_charms_key_rings.html';
location.replace(sURL);
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#ffffff" LINK="#e6e6fa" ALINK="#ffffff" VLINK="#ffe4e1"><BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<NOSCRIPT>Please wait for your browser to forward you to the next page or click <a href="http://www.madaboutjewellery.com/acatalog/handbag_charms_key_rings.html">here</a>.
Not gonna say anything is set in stone but you have a dozen main links front and center that hit meta refresh pages.
Do the same thing with a MOD rewrite, and get this page out of the middle."
**********************************
I think I am going to have to learm about MOD Rewrite but before I do anything at all I would prefer some guidance from persons familiar with Actinic and it's relationship with the search engines.
As far as my own logs tell me, the search engines don't appear to have any problem spidering my pages but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. So my question is, would it make any significant improvement if I did what my friend suggests?
