Prevent Duplicate topic url on forumhome :

For Great SEO you need to prevent duplicate addresses of one page !

a unique URL per each unique resource is realy important!

vbulletin does have a problem with duplicating content.I had the same problem as http://www.vbseo.com/f4/duplicate-title-tags-problem-19821/ you can read . Because vbulletin has at least 2 different url addresses for one page !!!!

1. address is with the number of thread ( eg: index.php?t=194708 )
Notise : t=194708

2. sddress is with the number of post ( eg : http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1653770 )
Notice : p=1653770

As you see this duplication address cause many problems that you can see on google webmasters tool . Also it dilutes your incoming links !! some users link to the topic with the url of theard id (...?t=xxxx) the othres link the same topic and the same page with the url of last post number (...?p=xxxx )

see more details :http://www.threadwatch.org/node/6076#comment-37011 .

What does this mode do ?

It prevent the most popular duplication on forum home ! ( the main page of your vBulletin forums)

How to Install ?

Just some easy template edit !

1.go to " forumhome_lastpostby"template ( admin cp =>Styles&Templates=>style manager=>all style option=>Forum home template ==>>forumhome_lastpostby)

search for :
Code:
goto=newpost
Finde :
Code:
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"
Replace it with :
PHP Code:
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]
I did this change as modification and use it on my forum . because for some reasons I didn't want install vbseo or tfseo or any rewrite modes ! (vbseo users do not need to install this mode because vbseo do the same result in the completely different way )
** Please click if you use this mode . ***

thanks.
