Major SEF problem - no content seen

15 years 11 months ago #3356 by 3lad3
Hi, I've been running SEF Advance www.extremekites.com.au for a while now, but have just started to look into why my google ranking isn't going so well.

What I've found is that none of content in my joomla content items can be seen by googlebots.  All other pages are ok. 

This link shows what is happening - (no content at all) -
http://www.seo-browser.com/index.php?address=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremekites.com.au%2Fkite-reviews%2Fbow-%2510-supported-leading-edge-kites%2Fbest-waroo-5m-and-7m%2C-2008-20080401220%2F&action=Parse+URL

, but when I use the NON-SEF url, all is ok for the same content item -
http://www.seo-browser.com/index.php?address=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremekites.com.au%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26id%3D220%26Itemid%3D1&action=Parse+URL

Have I set up SEF Advance wrong, or is this a major bug?

Please help!

It's interesting you get that but don't accuse SEF Advance just yet. Of course content can be seen, for example my demo site:
www.seo-browser.com/index.php?address=ht...te/&action=Parse+URL

It can be some other component, module or mambot that makes your content invisible, maybe in combination with SEF Advance. I would suggest you switch to default template and disable extra modules and plugins to try to identify what it is. Also I hope you haven't core-modified your Joomla.

hehe.  No, well I figured it can't entirely be your fault since no one else is complaining about this problem!
You were right, the problem was between SEF Advance and one of my links.  Don't know why, but I've removed it and all is good now.
