Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Devanur/Jane,

Thank you for the info.

I have question for the community and whether or not this is a good or bad idea.

I currently have a Joomla site that displays www.domain.com/index.php in all the URLs with the exception of the home page.  I have read that it's better to not have index.php showing in the URL at all.  Does it really matter if I have index.php in my URL?  I've read that it is a bad practice.

I am thinking about installing the sh404SEF component on my site and removing the index.php.  However, I rank pretty high for the keywords I want in Google, Bing and Yahoo.  All of the URLs that show up in the searches have index.php as part of the URL.

Has anyone ever used sh404SEF to remove the index.php and how did you overcome not loosing your search engine links?  I don't want an existing search showing www.domain.com/index.php/sales and it not linking to the correct page which would now be www.domain.com/sales.  I guess I could insert the proper redirects in the htaccess file.  But I was hoping to avoid having every page of my site in the htaccess file for redirecting.

Any help or advice appreciated.

I have a specialized website for hospitals covering a specific topic.  This same topic is also applicable to another market but with some minor modifications.  I'm thinking about starting a new site to target this specific market and use the same content as the one specialized for healthcare.  I will have to make some minor adjustments to the articles to take out the healthcare part and replace with the other industry.

If my content is similar between both sites and both authored by me could that possibly hurt my rankings?

Any opinions appreciated.

I'm new to SEOMOZ.  I have a Pro account and have been messing with the tools available.  I ran a report in Open Site Explorer on one of my prospects.  I also entered in several of their competitors to see how they rank.

I would like to show the report to my prospective client but couldn't figure out how to download the information.  Is that info available for download?  Does anyone have a recommendation for showing prospects how they rank against their competitors.

Any help appreciated.
