How do I SEO my site & Hosting feedback

Hi, how do I search engine optimize Dolphin? Can I optimize all pages? anyone have some tips?

Also, I am considering HOSTUPON and was wondering if anyone could reccomend them for dolphin hosting?

Thanks for all input!

for SEO you can use meta tags from admin area >> settings.

i'm looking for  the same solution. need to be able to set titles for website and chage metatags for diferent pages.

if you will find anything please send me a message

The change you want can be done by editing the individual site titles and headers in the templates folder. It would be a lot of manual work, changing each title to your own description and meta tags, but it would achieve the desired result.

One thing that I implemented for our site was using dynamic information to include in the page titles. So if a person creates a member page, the profile fields i specify are included in the page title (I use City, DescriptionMe, and a custom field for keywords), and google seems to be giving some good love based on that (no duplicate titles etc.). I figured it was going to be built into the next dolphin release, but if its needed, I can put the hack together with some instructions, and put it up on expertzzz. What's the interest for this quick & dirty hack/mod?

Cheerz,

K, working on it this wknd.

Yes, I would imagine a number of people would be interested in this.  will you be offering this for free?

kinder,

changing the titles and descriptions and adding the tags on each page is not an issue, but how can I get to the specific member profile pages so that I can add SEngine info so the spiders can crawl the specific pages?  I looked in the templates folder, but cannot seem to locate any pages that have been added and have also looked in the language file for the specific strings and there is not anything that is returned in the search.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  The goal is to change every page so that the specific pages are maximized for the SE.

thanks

Hi fornelliman,

Yes, that's basically what i needed it for also. Each member page is a potential landing page for google. With current dolphin, the profile page metatags are all the same... the page titles are different (it contains Nickname: Headline - i think...), but descriptions and metatags are the same.

I wanted my pages optimized for "City", CustomField1, and CustomField, so more of whatever users enter into their profile gets seen by google.

Of course you have to monitor what they write... depending on your site & members ;)

I'll see what I can do to put a cheap mod for this up this wknd.

This site always has great FREE mods, and looks like they should be realeasing this one soon

Hi,

We have opted( for www.OyHello.com) Apthost for hosting. We are happy with the results so far. Dolphin coding is very modular. To add meta tags, Keywords- either do it from admin panel or you can check the inc folder in your installation. I think it's header.inc.php..

Also pay attention to .htaccess file where you can set the mod rewrite to make the dynamic urls static. (dynamic urls are not search engine friendly)

My advice is to use the Big players in social networking to create a network & use that network to increase your site's traffic.

Happy SEO!!

Thanks Boonex!!

I cheated here and pulled this out of one of the most popular dating sites home pages using firebug.  You'll note it's the meta content, which is what the mod referred to above does part of.  It handles the meta content for description and keyword, working great for that.  It would help if this mod could have the "Classification" for Meta Content appear in addition to what it currently does.

Here's how a popular site that ranks high with it's key words does it:
