The thing is however, that Yuwie has been programmed very badly from a Search Engine Optimization point of view.
A few examples:
- your profile link redirects to a url with your account number. Both get indexed however resulting in duplicate content. Yuwie should create a 301 redirect and exclude the other url from indexing.
- the urls to your blog entries are to complicated. Consider this example:
http://www.yuwie.com/blog/entry.asp?id=64364&eid=79656&t=How%20many%20friends%20have%20you%20got?
the bad thing is that it contains 3 variables and spaces. Yuwie should use ModRewrite to create a url like this:
http://www.yuwie.com/blog/64364/How_many_friends_have_you_got/
At this moment there are only 6140 blog entries indexed by Google. Considering the number of users on Yuwie who are all writing multiple blog entries this is really a small percentage of the total of blog entries. IE. At this moment Google hasn't indexed any of my blog entries! - there are no Metatags; the title tag for a blog entry is just yuwie.com and the keywords tag is empty. The description tag is not even present.
In order for Yuwie to get really successfull and generate a lot of pageviews, this really needs to improve!!
Please leave your opinion in the comments, and let's try to get the attention
of Y Guy for this matter.
Y Guy, if you're reading this; I would be glad to help you out improving Yuwie for the search engines....
