Artio creates URLs like: /home-107.html home-108.html home-109.html and all are broken links ( 404)

Do you have any idea? How can I fix them? What is the reason?

Hi,

Please, post the Real URLs for these. You can find them using the Manage SEF URLs page in JoomSEF.

Here are the examples:

product-reviews-10047.html
index.php/american/birthday-parties/birthday-party-places/travel.html?option=com_content&view=frontpage

product-reviews-10088.html
index.php/american/birthday-parties/health-beauty/local-gurus-northern-virginia.html?option=com_content&view=frontpage


It is not logical because american and birthday-parties re different categories under different sections..

Hi,

Make sure you have the "Use apache mod_rewrite" option enabled in your Joomla global configuration.
These URLs are usually created by search engine bots that have still indexed the old index.php/ links on your site. Which version of JoomSEF do you use? The 3.6.5 version shouldn't store such URLs in database anymore.
You can also enable the "URL Source tracing" in JoomSEF's configuration on Advanced tab, so the trace information will be stored with each new URL - this will help you find out why the URLs are created as the URL's origin, referer and user agent is stored.

"Use apache mod_rewrite" option is already enabled. I was using 3.6.2 and now upgraded to 3.6.5. I deleted all unnecessary links which is created with index.php/, cleared cache. LEt's see how it will work. I hope search engines will not crawl such links anymore!!.

I did what you have said, but nothing is changed.. Still google crawles 20 K pages.. What am I going to do? I NEED HELP!
