Url rewriting and SEO

[Ann]

Hi,

My shop is running with V1.1, url rewriting is on, my .htaccess file seems ok, but despite this, some of my pages are indexed with the url " ... product.php?id... " . How can this happen, and how can I get the robots to read and index only the rewrited urls ?

Thanks

Is it possible the pages haven't been respidered since you changed the URLs?

[Ann]

Thanks for answering...

Well, I thought about that, but the weird thing about it is that old pages get spidered with the correct url rewriting but recent ones don't...this really baffles me...

Maybe try 301 redirects?

[Ann]

Yes, I though about using this kind of redirection, but I don't know about the correct script to use

This is my .ht access :

# URL rewriting module activation
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ann-secret.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ann-secrets.com/$1'>http://www.ann-secrets.com/$1 [R=301,L]




# URL rewriting rules
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$2$4 [L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$1$3 [L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ category.php?id_category=$1 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^content/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ cms.php?id_cms=$1 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)__([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ supplier.php?id_supplier=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ manufacturer.php?id_manufacturer=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]

# Catch 404 errors
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

SetEnv PHP_VER 5
SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0

ErrorDocument 401 http://www.ann-secrets.com/
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.ann-secrets.com/
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.ann-secrets.com/
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.ann-secrets.com/

I added this line:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/page-([^/]+).html index.php?id=$2&cat;=$1 [QSA,L]


Seems to work ok by now....

I have created a module that redirects all duplicate URLs to the default SEO friendly version
