+ | === SEO === | ||
+ | |||
+ | This area allows to manage all SEO settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == SEO Page == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SEO page allows you to manage the meta information for the base, users and photo pages. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Title** - enter the title of the page or leave the default title. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Meta description** - enter the page meta description. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Meta keywords** - enter the page meta keywords. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Allow for indexing** - check this box if the page should be indexed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:overview:admin_area_manual:seo_1.png?500|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Sitemap == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sitemap is is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default the Oxwall software package includes the sitemap.xml and robots.txt files. | ||
+ | You will be able to access these files on your server in the public_html/directory or other directory the software is installed in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get the sitemap working add the following code to the end of the robots.txt file: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code>Sitemap:http://[your_site_URL]/sitemap.xml</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |**Note:** Replace [your_site_URL] with your site name.| | ||
+ | |||
+ | The robots.txt file content for the Oxwall demo site looks like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | # This file contains rules to prevent the crawling and indexing of certain parts | ||
+ | # of your web site by spiders of a major search engines likes Google and Yahoo. | ||
+ | # By managing these rules you can allow or disallow access to specific folders | ||
+ | # and files for such spyders. | ||
+ | # The good way to hide private data or save a lot of bandwidth. | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | # For more information about the robots.txt standard, see: | ||
+ | # http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/robots.html | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | # For syntax checking, see: | ||
+ | # http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/robots/check.html | ||

+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Sitemap settings section allows you to manage the sitemap settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Schedule updates** - set the interval the sitemap should be updated within. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The recommendable value is weekly; this is the average frequency the pages' content is changed in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Page types** -choose the pages that should be included in the sitemap. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Base Pages like Join, Sign in custom pages like Terms of use etc., Users or Photos pages. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:overview:admin_area_manual:seo_2.png?500|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since the sitemap generation process depends on [[install:cron|Cron Jobs]], make sure it is working on your server. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the site is populated and consists of many pages, the sitemap generation may take up to several days. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Social Meta == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The system grabs all content from the SEO Page Settings and adds it to the Open Graph Tags. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All you need is upload your site logo or image that should show when users share link to your site in the social media. It should be a .jpg image 1000px width. | ||
