Filed Under: Building a Joomla website, Seo Basics

Change the standard Joomla text of the Weblinks component

 

Most people have the standard text of Joomla weblinks component in the Links page.

 

"We are regularly out on the web. When we find a great site we list it here for you to enjoy.
From the list below choose one of our weblink topics, then select a URL to visit. "

 

But what if you want to change this text, where do you go to change this text?

Location of the Text


This text comes from your language file that is located in the languages directory of your Joomla site.

 

The easiest way to change this text is bij going to you administrators panel > site > language manager > and then choose cthe language file you want to edit.

Af course it needs to be set to writeable…

 

How to change it

 

Find the section in this english.php file that says:

 

/** components/com_weblinks */
DEFINE(‘_WEBLINKS_TITLE','Web Links');
DEFINE(‘_WEBLINKS_DESC','We are regularly out on the web. When we find a great site we list'
.' it here for you to enjoy.  <br />From the list below choose one of our weblink topics, then select a URL to visit.');
DEFINE(‘_HEADER_TITLE_WEBLINKS','Web Link');
DEFINE(‘_SECTION','Section:');
DEFINE(‘_SUBMIT_LINK','Submit A Web Link');
DEFINE(‘_URL','URL:');
DEFINE(‘_URL_DESC','Description:');
DEFINE(‘_NAME','Name:');
DEFINE(‘_WEBLINK_EXIST','There is a Web Link already with that name, please try again.');
DEFINE(‘_WEBLINK_TITLE','Your Weblink must contain a title.');

 

(Psst.. its near the bottom of the file….)

 

Here you can change the first two lines to whatever suits your own needs.

 

How Linking Improves Your ranking

Filed Under: Search Engines, Seo Basics

How Links To your Website Improves Your Ranking

One of the aspects that certainly Google takes into consideration is how many sites are linking to your URL.

But they also take into account where these links are coming from!
A link to your site from another site that has a High PageRank is more likely to boost your ranking than one from a LinkExchange directory.

The last one might even bring your ranking down because in some cases you are in so-called “Bad Social Neighboorhood”

So it is very important that you get the right links from the right sites!

Also, the description of your links are important:
A link to your website that is like “Click Here” is less of an improvement than a one like “Network Documentation and Network Management Information“

Although Both link to the same website, you will see that the last one is picked up by search engines as more relevant to your keywords.

So If you are going to build your network of link partners, look for sites in the same area as you are and preferably handle the same topic.
But try to get links containing your keywords!.
