Less than 1 month since this site was started its been very noticeable that googlebot likes the site and url structure.

At the time of writing it was noticed that the front page has been given a google rating of Page Rank 7.

Topics and articles and pretty much everything directly below the frontpage are PR6.

I noticed with topics when they were shown in dynamic format that they used to be 2 PR places below the front page, now that isn't the case.

Articles in dynamic format never carry any green in the toolbar and so apparently show no PR at all, even when using the static url plugin.

So the benefits of using mod rewrite in your geeklog is glaringly apparent.

Its been noticed that geeklog has moved upto 1.3.9.sr2. We recommend that you upgrade accordingly and enjoy the extra security. This minor update has only affected the language files in modrewrite.

glmodrw1.03 also includes a rewrite rule for the help directory. it was found in previous versions of glmodrw that the .html files in the help directory were being refreshed to the index page. This is no longer a problem.

This is a test post to see if a new user could be created with no errors and then post a story with the new user. It appears work with no problems.

Does anyone out there know whether or not any rewrite rules and hacking of geeklog link codes will undermine geeklog security?

When i first started looking at rewriting geeklog urls, it appeared hardly anyone was using mod_rewrite rules and hacking their dynamic content management systems.

These days the practice is becoming increasingly popular and it is only right that geeklog urls can be shown in a more static fashion. This website is purely a demonstration of what can be done to make geeklog more SEO friendly with the obvious benefits of increased traffic volume from simplified urls.

Practically all the dynamic urls are replaced by more simple, static looking urls. The exceptions are the admin urls, which doesn't matter because no search engine spider should ever be seeing anything in the admin anyway. Some of the comment strings are left untouched as they can be ridiculously long and they are usually buried well within a website. I also haven't touched the calender urls, i haven't found a use for the calender in geeklog and so most of the time i just cut the calender link out. Perhaps at some point i will rewrite these urls too.

Mouse over the links in the website and you will see the urls in the status bar of your browser, all the question marks have gone.

This is a first attempt and i won't deny there will be improvements that can be made. I welcome anyone to make comments and take advantage of the Mod Rewrite Download, so that you can try your own Geeklog Mod Rewrite Hack.
