You really think this is JUST about tags? You may want to read the thread again.
I never said it was, I commented on a portion of what the topic is about. I'm not an SEO expert, I tend to read these types of topics only, without reponding.

Isn't it ironic that something you are now complaining about is most likely a result of something you asked Matt to implement not that long ago (FURL for tags).

Good points. Just a thought :smile:

It's a shame there is no better system for upgrading skins. I personally only make minor CSS and template changes to the default skin, but every time there is a new update I have to revert it all and manually change it all back to how i want it. Otherwise i risk missing features or bug fixes of the new release.

Not ideal with the current rate of updates....

Sorry to take this off topic. This was about SEO. :smile:
Use a merge program, like WinMerge, default template in the left, customised in the right, then you can see what you've changed and what changes you need to move over from the default template.

The Merge Center does have the same functionality, but I've never got on with it.

Matt, what about these type of entries being indexed as a preference by the SERPS:

The above just should not be in the equation really, and neither should search results. How can Google spiders do a search? :blink:  Not moaning, mate, well... haha.. But the way the software is set up IS most definitely damaging SERPS results, no question. I have put considerable testing into this now, and there are so many loose ends, which I am hoping you guys will fix, but you will only fix them if YOU think there is a problem.

I hope so, I really do.. because all the hard work we put in is being undone on a daily basis.

Thanks for reading the thread.

Edit: Here is a perfect example of what I am talking about at the time of writing (SERPS may change this depending on when you view this thread)

Check the 2nd and 3rd entry from our forum, the second one is tags, and the third one is a search entry (stating no results found on a blank page), with the original thread nowhere to be seen.
The search box and other elements are removed for search bots in 3.3, you need to update your customised skin to introduce the new features added in 3.3

Well the editor as it is now is way easier/fun/nicer/etc than the default layout and the one vb is using..
You know they both use CK Editor right ?
