Hello Vancouver Drupalers!

I’d like to take this opportunity to let you know you about our upcoming Vancouver Drupal Training being offered at UBC this August.
Please excuse me for posting a bunch of training events next, but it is the best way to let the community know about what we have to offer!

Here are some of our upcoming courses:

August 24: Drupal in a Day!

Recently I decided to start answering commonly asked questions on Drupal SEO via blog posts, and I hope this is the place where I can share them with you. The first one talks about usage of pathauto, pathredirect, globalredirect, pagetitle, nodewords modules. Screen shots of modules are provided.

Hey folks,
Check out this cool tool which allows you to compare your site to your competitor:
http://blekko.com/ws/www.joomla.org+/compare?c=www.drupal.org
You can quickly compare inbound links, top inbound sites by host rank, and more.

This tool does a lot more than this but I just had to share.

Hello,

I plan on redoing my site and would like to know the proper way of deleting pages in terms of seo. I have ~100 product nodes, taxonomy, views, and panel pages I will be deleting in the process. From what I can gather, I would need to implement a 301 redirect using Path Redirect for each of the pages before removing them. Since the pages will no longer be related to the new version of the site, does it matter where I redirect the pages to if they have no PR or inbound links? I was thinking of redirecting them to the home page. Will this have an effect on my home page (~100 page redirects to /), which has a PR of 2? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Paul

Since several people in our group are interested in SEO they may be running the Drupal Meta Tags module (http://drupal.org/project/nodewords). Apparently there is an issue in the module where, if certain config options are set, it will completely exclude your site from Google! Here's what my colleague Owen Barton just sent out about this:

Submitted our session about Drupal SEO (v3).

Looking forward to see you in Copenhagen!

The third version of the Drupal SEO session will provide you with examples & use cases from the praxis.
