2 Question about SEO-Url´s

[Andre Daub]

Hi,

i have two questions about the Url´s:

1.

domain.tld/threads/name-of-thread.543/

Is it possible to remove the /threads/ folder to short URL like this:

domain.tld/name-of-thread.543/

2.

I have a keyword domain let´s say cheap-deal.tld

The titles of my threads will be like: Keyword Cheap Deal

the url for this kind of threads will look like:

cheap-deal.tld/keyword-cheap-deal.543/

I would like not to have same keyword in my Url two times.

cheap-deal.tld/keyword.543/ would be great!

Is there possibilty to give an url manually by a thread?

If not, ist there a chance to say cheap and deal are stop-words and should not show up in the url´s of threads?

Thanks a lot. I think i will have some more questions in the next days.

I think you can do this in htaccess, like what we did with index.php. Not so sure.

1) The route can be changed using an addon like this:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/change-threads-to-discussions.257/

But it can't be completely removed.

2) There is a configurable option in the Admin CP to remove content titles from URLs, leaving only the ID numbers.

Frankly speaking, the 'SEO' urls don't matter. I went crazy after them for a long time throughout my online career but found out that Google just throws random breadcrumbs at SEO enthusiasts so that they've something to talk about.

Go with XF SEO structure and you'll be fine.
