Google Friendly URLs


At the moment our content pages contain the parameter "id" and we'd like to change that to sometime a little more digestible for google. (thanks for the link and heads-up kristian).


1. From the manager, in the top navigation links (blue) choose "Administration" - click it.


Click Administration

2. On the second level navigation links (orange) choose "System Configuration" - click it.


Choose System Configuration

3. From the system configuration links - choose "Friendly URL Settings" - click it.


Click Friendly URL Settings

4. Select "Use friendly URLs" - click "Yes".


Click Yes

5. Now change "Prefix for friendly URLs" to "index.php?q=" (our example)


Change Prefix

6. Locate "Save" - click it.


Click Save

7. Done! Here is the screenshot of how the URL appears, "id" has been removed - and the use of the suffix text "index.php?q=" takes its place. Our content pages are now google friendly.


Presto
