XF 2.3 Node/Page title dilemma

Anatoliy · 2024-12-23T09:43:26+0000

The best title for a page about salmon fishing in Oregon would be "Salmon fishing in Oregon". The same applies for other species. So I did so.
Which creates a keyword stuffing overkill on a home page (node list?). What would be the solution?

The best names for nodes in a Category would be 'Salmon', 'Steelhead' etc, however those would be weak page titles.

Please advise.

Are you thinking re: how it looks to Google or how it looks the the user? If it’s Google I would noindex the category.

For users you could have subcategory for either species or State.

Oh yeah! I've been thinking about custom field for

Code:

<title>Page title</title>

/h1, but have no idea how to do it. Could you please push me in the right direction?

I want to turn it to user-friendly node list without loosing traffic from G.

just checked docs. I found about custom USER fields, but nothing about custom NODE fields.

I would just noindex the category then.

Probably language barrier. )

I don't want to loose traffic from G
then tell G not to index your site

hm... XF turns a dialog into unordered list

No language barrier. I didn't say noindex the site, I said noindex the category. Doing that may well improve your Google traffic as it would help SEO. I have no indexed categories for just that reason. Categories are just a list of links with no actual content.

In the above screenshot the word Oregon is in every forum title. As is the word Fishing. For a start I'd remove Oregon from forum titles and put in category title

Then you lose it in the URL, which carries weight.

If that worries you then

How much weight versus the user experiences?

I didn't mean from your side, I mean from mine. )
My categories don't have a page (don't already remember where I configured that). They are just ankore links, not url links. So this one can be marked as 'done'. )

we are at the same page. )

not from 'forum titles'. from 'node titles'. but I need to keep them in those nodes 'page titles'.
sounds probably very confusing

that's a good point. luckily for me it's not a problem as I made custom urls (URL portion) for those nodes when created them.

More weight than I'd be willing to give, but you can adjust the node name in a template edit for user experience.

Then you can rename them to whatever you'd like and have the best of both worlds.
