Mambo Search Engine Friendly Urls
Default Mambo URLS
The default Mambo URL is :
http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3
There are 2 SEO ways to optimize it : the first one is basic and after it the URLS will look like :
http://www.domain.com/content/view/1/3/
Which is OK but a bit simple and you don't have keywords in the URL. However if you use the second one you will get URLS like :
http://www.domain.com/dir/category/content_title.html
First Way :
This is rather simple : Just make sure your host has mod_rewrite enabled.
Login to your Mambo installation and : admin > global configuration > SEO > Enable it :)
Rename the htaccess.txt in your default installation to .htaccess (no extension)
You are done !
Second Way :
Make backups of all your data before taking this step !
