Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Axel Wers Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Invision Power Services -> Community Blog List change to Community Blog List - Invision Power Services Invision Power Services Calendar change to Calendar - Invision Power Services Invision Power Services -> Gallery change to Gallery - Invision Power Services Tracker change to Tracker - Invision Power Services Shoutbox change to Shoutbox - Invision Power Services as Links - Invision Power Services are. It's prettier, is not it? First should be name of application (like subdomain) then name of community server. For explanation: I mean what is between <title> </title>
3DKiwi Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 That's a no vote from me. If you are referring to urls then having the module name first followed by the domain name then it's actually a sub-domain. There's no way I want my gallery etc modules organised to look like sub domains or to be actual sub domains. This sounds logical to me:www.domainname.com/forums/gallery/ or www.domainname.com/forums/index.php?/gallery/ to get to the gallery instead of www.gallery.domainname.com/ which looks aweful to me. If I've read your suggestion all wrong then please clarify. 3DKiwi
ryanome Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 He's referring to the title of the mentioned pages that appear in your browser/tabs I think.
3DKiwi Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Ah I see. It's still a no vote from me. However I note at my site that when I click the Links Tab I get the word "Links" first. So what I would suggest is that things be consistent. 3DKiwi
Mat Barrie Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Links probably sets it's own title bar. An application can do that. And since that, Tracker and Shoutbox aren't IPS products...
Axel Wers Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 For explanation: I mean title order. First name of app, then name of board. That's all :)
Brandon D Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I did Links that way because I think it's easier to identify that way. If I have a bunch of tabs open I'm more likely to identify the correct one if the most unique portion of the title is on the tab first (i.e., the link/post/blog/etc title). If it's just a bunch of tabs of the forum name it's rather pointless.
Axel Wers Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 I did Links that way because I think it's easier to identify that way. If I have a bunch of tabs open I'm more likely to identify the correct one Yes, very good reason.
Joshua T. Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Would be nice to have this as NEW OPTION in ACP :)
Axel Wers Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 So what I would suggest is that things be consistent. Yes, this is what I mean.
bfarber Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 No need for an ACP option, but generally speaking I agree with the suggestion. It's better to have the more specific data in front, if only because it's easier to identify your tabs when you have many of them open (in my personal opinion).
Wolfie Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 So basically, <title>(topic title or app name) - (board name)</title> so "Before you release 3.1.0... - Invision Power Services" "Community Blog List - Invision Power Services" "Gallery - Invision Power Services" etc That could definitely be helpful. Even if you can't see the name of the site in the tab, usually the favicon image reminds you of which site you're looking at (not always) so title/app name first would help remember which tab is which. +1 from me
Axel Wers Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 Cool, then is clean way for titles update :)
Derek M. Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Ah I see. It's still a no vote from me. However I note at my site that when I click the Links Tab I get the word "Links" first. So what I would suggest is that things be consistent. 3DKiwi For SEO purposes, his suggestion is a positive one. That being, having the content reflect the first word in the title area is better for search engine/user needs (as the title of the page is what the link title within search results is). The threads have this order, some other areas do, so this should be spread about as standard.
Axel Wers Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah, for SEO purposes it's an another GOOD reason.
Mike54 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 For SEO reasons, I edit the files to remove the forum name entirely. ;)
Axel Wers Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 No need for an ACP option, but generally speaking I agree with the suggestion. It's better to have the more specific data in front, if only because it's easier to identify your tabs when you have many of them open (in my personal opinion). Yeah, you agree but you forgot :P
Andy Rixon Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 +1 from me, I think this is a good idea before 3.1.0 is released in a final state.
