Hello everybody

I ve installed the joomsef and register in Google Tools For webmasters.

Throught this tools, I realized that my website had more de 1 500 URLs 404. Basically the website will never be indexed with this amount of 404.
Most of the URLs looks lake this:

www.mywebsite.com/index.php/books/apple-compute....

An other problem is that the URLs I have modified few times with the joomsef, still are indexed by google. I explain

I have changed this url for this one

www.mywebsite.com/2-relojes/45TimeForce

Por

www.miwebsite.com/relojes/TimeForce

Theses two URLs still are present on the website which means that the fisrt one is recognized as a 404.

I need help to repair this.

Cheers

Hi,

URLs starting with index.php are not JoomSEF URLs but URLs that were generated BEFORE you have installed JoomsEF.

To prevent 404 errors, use 301 Permanent redirects when changing the URLs. JoomSEF asks you if you want to create 301 Redirect each time you modify an already existing URL. For the old ones or non JoomSEF controlled ones you will need to setup those manually.

Hello.
I have some problem when I setup 301 redirect manually, it doesn't work. Please tell me what is the problem?

I solved it

I am really sorry for this message but the joomsef IS NOT a good component for SEO.

Once i changed the url for the sef one, joomsef detected more than 45 000 404 URLs and google already detect more than 4500.

Basically joomsef create more problems than solving them. Actually ia have a website with the joomsef which will never be refered by google. I can throw it to the trash.
