I want to create a module which can help in SEO.
i have created a part of it and is working in my new website http://dcecampus.com/
i have used mod_rewrite to chnage moodles urls into something which looks better to search engines, i have also replaced the word 'mod' with my keyword.
i am also looking forward to change or use database module for auto linking
see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=59938
i want your suggestions/comments on this.
Please, could you clarify the acronym? Many non english-speaking people here...
TIA,
Pablo
P.S. Could it be Search Engine Optimization?

Hi,
I'm about to try some actions, which would translate the original moodle-links into SEO links, too.
I have not yet started, because I had to do some work on my forum first.
When I enter your given site, I can't see any rewriting on moodle's URLs.
As far as I know, you can use mod_rewrite internally, but have to do all the work internally in the php-files given by moodle, and additionally in a robots.txt to prevent google or other search engines from hitting the same page from several URLs.
I would like to mail you for some further discussion, so we won't probably have to invent the same wheel twice.
Best regards
Thomas

hello thomas,
good it see some more people who are sailing in the same boat.
i was able to re-write basic urls of Moodle but due to the fact that Moodle upgrades itself so frequently i am unable to make changes so fast.
i have no other option other then to hope that a developer of Moodle will think about SEO.
i would like to share my work with you... but unfortunately i have lost a big part of it
due to a data lost.

Hello Jai
Good work dear
i would like to share my work with you... but unfortunately i have lost a big part of it 
due to a data lost.
Are you using this module in your website dcecampus?
your urls are clean as expected , am looking to hear more from your side
thanks for this great effort 
Hi Jai Gupta,
I was wondering how start a SEO Module. You did a great job with .htaccess.
Do you know which other php files I have change?
All people are invited to help in this module.
Thanks in advance.
Guilherme.

Are you sure this is actually relevant to search engines any more? I'm pretty sure Google doesn't care, for example.

Hello Jai,
I have been looking in to your .htaccess mod re writes rules, I visited your website http://dcecampus.com and found that all your links are broken on the home page. for example http://dcecampus.com/dce-elearning/forum/view/12 should this not be something like :-
" http://www.sheilds-elearning.co.uk/mod/forum/view.php?id=2 "
I realise you have re-written these links (probably in .htaccess) but to make you aware they all lead to an error page.
