Great mod  ;)

But be careful that when we have the linktree at the top and at the bottom at the same time, we cannot have two H1 together on the page.
We must have only one H1....I suggest for the top linktree only and eventually, H2 for the bottom linktree.

Just install this mod, SMF 1.1.11 version. But I dont see any diference before and after the mod instalation? Is there some visible diference in titlle look?

This mod is pretty nice! It will make a difference in SEO, if used right.

On SMF 1.1.11 this is a problem, since there are 2 breadcrumbs instead of one, making each page have a repeated h1 tag - considered bad for SEO (I think in SMF 2.0 there's only one breadcrumb so everything ok in this version).

Can anyone explain to me how this can help SEO?

lucas-ruroken,

Since majority of the users are on 1.1.11, do you have a fix for this?  I tried to do this myself, but it's more complicated than I thought.

I'm with 2.0RC3 and I have two breadcrumbs...one at top, one at bottom.
Just look at this topic itself, there's two...

There's no evidence that two H1 tag is bad, but it's probably best to use just one.  I implemented this mod two days ago and I already seeing ranking improvements for google search.   This is a great mod.

Ok, maybe they've updated it in recent beta or RC versions of SMF 2.0, because in earlier versions there was just one.

Anyway, in SMF 2.0 the H1 tag is always the same - the header logo - so it is never duplicated:
<h1 class="forumtitle">
<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php"><img src="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/Themes/smsite2/images/site/smsite_logo.jpg?rc2.1.1" alt="Simple Machines Community Forum" /></a>
</h1>


The H2 tags match the News, the H3 are somewhat strange (haven't understood them yet), the H4 match the Profile part in each post... and it's the H5 tags that match the post subject.

H2, H3, H4 and so on can be duplicated (or even more) without SEO penalty, it's the H1 that has to be in each page just once, so no problem at all with SMF 2.0.

I think thenthis mod shouldn't support 1.1.x because it may hurt then help.

Paracelsus

Actually, it can hurt even 2.0 version if the H1 tag (which I posted above) isn't somehow "silenced" (thus making multiple H1 tags instead of one, which is considered bad for SEO). But I haven't looked deeply into this MODs code so I really can't tell.

I don't think so...

I had better results with this mod in 1.1 that in 2.0, but in 2.0 the results were very positive
