Perfect DotNetNuke Search Engine Optimised Urls in less than 10 minutes!

Download Free Trial Version of iFinity Url Master

iFinity Url Master is a DotNetNuke® Url solution that gives total control over the Urls in your DNN website.   Smart DotNetNuke site owners and developers have always known about the core product SEO shortcomings.   Url Master solves all the DNN Url problems without taking shortcuts.

If you are at all interested in getting better search engine rankings and results for your DotNetNuke website, you need to install this product today.

iFinity Url Master is a click-in replacement for the standard DotNetNuke core component that generates the Urls for every page on a website. It immediately gives you Search Engine friendly page Urls - which are better for reading by Humans as well!

Url Master Comparison

Better Urls = Higher Search Rankings = More Traffic

Here are the reasons why you need the iFinity Url Master module:

  • You want your site to rank higher in Search Engine results
  • You want to be able to control what Urls your site uses, while still keeping the same pages as before
  • You want to eliminate duplicate content from Search Engines
  • You want your site to tell Search Engines automatically that your page Urls have changed, and that the Search Engine should update their links
  • You have replaced another site with a new DotNetNuke site, or have re-organized the pages in your DotNetNuke site, and you need your Search Engine results to link to the correct pages
  • You have got DNN Page Names with diacritic characters like ê or à in them, and you want to convert to equivalent ascii characters
  • You just want a simple, quickly installed solution to the problem without reading endless configuration options, fidgeting around with Regex expressions and editing web.config files
  • DotNetNuke is creating terrible looking Urls for the pages you have created
  • Up until now, you haven't found a product that does all this!

That's just a small fraction of the things that the Url Master can do for you.

New for 1.14! : Vanity User Profile Urls and true extensionless Urls combine to allow you to define a user profile page in your website, and have crisp, clean, Urls for your users. Choose from either the Display Name or the Username to generate the Url. See http://www.ifinity.com.au/Bruce_Chapman for an example. This functionality works with most third-party modules that contain a User Profile feature, including the DotNetNuke Forum module, the Smart-Thinker social networking suite, and Active Social. No other modifications necessary to work with third party modules. Just click and configure, and your user profile urls will be converted. You can even issue a 301 Redirect for the old User Profile Urls, making the change seamless.

Get your Free Trial of iFinity Url Master

iFinity DNN Modules are all supplied on a 'try before you buy' basis. The trial version is fully operational, so you can test out how your site will look before decided to purchase a licence. There's no time limit on the trial, and you can easily delete the module and restore your site if you change your mind.

With the iFinity Url Master you finally have real control over what Urls are used for the pages in your site. You can change the Url for a page, have more than one Url for a page, or just stick with the base Url that DNN generates. You can setup 301 permanent-redirect status Urls for a page, so that search engines will learn where you have shifted content.

This is the Url Solution you need

iFinity Url Master Custom Url Redirection

The screenshot above shows the creation of custom Urls for a selected page in the website. With Custom Urls, you are no longer constrained by the name of the DNN page, so you can use non-ASCII characters or totally separate names. You can also set up redirections for 'old' versions of the page name, and the module will automatically 301 redirect any requests to the base DotNetNuke style Urls. With 301 redirects, you can have your website links in Search Engines updated in a very short amount of time, keeping all your hard-won page rankings while at the same time improving the Url for the page, so that it can rank higher for your chosen key terms.

Still need convincing? Check out the detailed list of Features and Benefits:

Or just Download a Free Trial and try it out.

Feature Benefit
Create Custom Urls for DotNetNuke Pages Everyone who has created a DotNetNuke site has asked the question 'where do I set the Url for the page?'. The Core installation doesn't allow this, but the Url Master does! By choosing your own page Url, you can:
  • Stuff your Page Url with keywords and keyphrases, like mysite.com/My_Keyword_Rich_Page_Name_That_Search_Engines_Will_Love/
  • Replace Url illegal characters like ž, ÿ and ö with url-safe equivalents like z,y and o.
  • Use Page names with & and : in it, but have a Page Url that is Url-safe - like 'test & try' can be made to 'test_and_try' or 'test_try'.
Create Custom Redirects for DotNetNuke Pages If you've got an old site that is being replaced, or perhaps you're just re-organising your existing site. Either way, you'll end up with Urls that no longer work. Rearrange with confidence, because you can specify any number of Urls to point back to a single DNN page, all using the 301 permanent redirect Http status so Search Engines will update their indexes. You can keep your page rankings and change your site at the same time, and no longer be tied to the way things were.
Turn your page names into Friendly Urls with spaces replaced and TabId banished forever You don't have to specify custom Urls for all the pages - the Url Master will generate friendly names based on the Page Name - but you can choose what to replace spaces in the page name with - like '-' or '_'. This means that search engines can easily identify the keywords in your Url, meaning that even incoming links with no anchor text have got exactly the right keywords in them. Get rid of the /TabId/ and not only do you stop advertising to the world you run a DNN site, you also get rid of keyword noise in the Url, leaving only the text that you want to keep.
Automatic Diacritic Character Conversion If your DNN page names have characters like ê or ë in them, the Url Master module now supports automatic conversion of the characters into the ASCII equivalent, giving much better Urls for your pages.  Not only that, but if the page is requested with the original Url (containing the encoded characters), your visitors will be forwarded to the new page with a 301 redirect.
Expert Support Use the iFinity Support Forums, even if you're just using a trial version. You'll get fast replies to your questions and access to a community of like-minded users. Or, use the iFinity Premium Support and get the module installed and configured by an expert.
Use whatever page Url extension you like, including no extension at all The .aspx extension on your pages is there for the benefit of the Microsoft Programmers to make their job easier, not yours. You don't need to stick with it. Changing the extension to .html, .page or .content will give your pages more meaning. Or go all the way and remove the extension all together, and have Urls on your site that are plain paths ending in '/'. Now even DNN sites can look slick and finished.

IIS7 Support is fully included, and with IIS7, you get one-click conversion of your website to extension-less Urls.  No IIS config changes, just select 'no extensions' and click 'apply'.  It couldn't be easier.
Eliminate Duplicate Content by redirecting unfriendly Urls, and by forcing Urls to a Single Domain and Case Search Engine Optimisation experts constantly warn against the dangers of duplicate content to your page rankings - that is, the same page available under different Urls. With Url Master, you can put a stop to duplicate content by using 301 permanent redirects in three ways:
  • Redirect all your 'old' DNN Urls to your new Friendly Urls automatically, thus updating the Search Engine indexes, and making sure your content is only avaiable with the Friendly Url of your choosing.
  • Redirect any subdomain to one of your choosing. Decide on 'www' or no subdomain at all, and redirect all requests to that choice. No more wwww.yoursite.com and yoursite.com versions of your content on search engine indexes.
  • Redirect any mixed case requests to be all in lower case. Some search engines may list a 'Mixed Case' and 'lower case' version of a Url as two distinct Urls.
Install Quickly and Easily The Url Master module installs in a single click, using the standard DNN Module Installer. It even creates the pages and loads the modules and is ready to go immediately, without having to create new pages and add new modules. You will literally have new Urls in 10 minutes.
Configure Options Easily and 'Try before you Apply' The advanced configuration options for Friendly Url generation and Url rewriting actually allow you to check how your site will behave before you apply the changes. This extremely useful feature means that you can tinker with your Url settings until you are confident it will work OK. Change your settings with confidence that your site will work flawlessly.
Total Compatibility with DotNetNuke Core The Url Master is built to provide an exact replacement for the core DotNetNuke Friendly Url Provider and Url Rewriting Module. This means you don't have to worry about whether your site will work - chances are, it will.
Advanced Configuration for all types of Third Party Module interoperability Some Third Party modules don't use the Core API, so they don't work properly after removing the /TabId/ from the Url. That's OK, because until you can get a new version of that module that conforms to DNN standards, the Url Master has many different ways of bypassing friendly Url Processing for the affected pages, leaving your existing modules functioning perfectly.

System Requirements : DotNetNuke 4.6.x to 4.9.x, DNN 5.2.x and above.

Note : this module will not install or run correctly on DNN 4.5 or earlier.

This module is a *must have* as it takes over from where the core leaves off with URL rewriting. It makes your website more SEO friendly, and the support is second to none!!!

Marco K says... 5.0

This is definitely the best URL Rewriting package. And the fact that the developer offers a trial version is awesome!

Lars S says... 5.0

DNN delivers wide range of functions but lacks depths in its features, this module delivers missing parts in a very integrated and user friendly package. Things you can do with it I did not know I was missing until I started using it. All support emails was answered fast and the answers was deep and informative.

Questions from other customers
Ask a Question
Q:  We have an old static website that has been up for 5+ years. We assume that our customers have saved URL's for various pages / resources to thier browser favourites list. We would like DNN to be able to resolve these old links by redirecting to the same resource on the new DNN portal. Would this module be suitable for this task?
A:  Yes, the module is suitable for redirecting old urls to the new,equivalent DNN page urls.

Q:  hi, is the friendly folder name specific to a portal alias? so if i have 2 portals on a host, each of the two have 2 portal aliases, and both of them have a page with the same name like: portal 1, alias 1 - www.client1.com/products portal 1, alias 2- client1.mydomain.com/products portal 2, alias 1 - www.client2.com/products portal 2, alias 2 - client2.mydomain.com/products would the /products for both portal 1 and 2 goes their own pages? thanks.
A:  Yes. The correct DNN page for a Url is located by a combination of portal alias and page name. You can safely use the same page name in different portals.

Q:  Hi, I am a little bit confused about licensing. How does it work in load balanced environments. We have multiple DNN installations in a web farm environment. Each of the installations have multiple domains.What kind of license would I require? Thanks
A:  The licences are domain based, or, in the case of the 'host' licence, install based. The product itself is installed at the DNN install level, and each portal on that DNN install needs to be licensed. Web farms do not matter, you just have to put a copy of the licence keyfile on each server in the farm. For example, if you have 5 unique domains on one install, a 5 domain licence will work the best for that Installation. You would upload a copy of the keyfile to each server in the webfarm. If you have 3 domains in one install, and 2 in another, a 5 domain licence would cover each of these installs. For more information, see the licensing FAQ's at http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Url_Master_DNN_SEO_Urls/details/FAQs

Q:  Hi, We have a UVG based site with around 1100 videos where each video is based on a particular word. For example the URL for the word "augment" is: http://vocabahead.com/VocabularyVideos/Videos/TabId/59/VideoId/132/Default.aspx We want it to look like: http://vocabahead.com/videos/augment Is there a way your module can go over all the 1100 URL s automatically and replace them with the appropraite friendly name with the corresponding word in it. Regards, Faiza.
A:  Hi Faiza - unfortunately this cannot be done at the present time. The change would be that your urls could look like this: http://vocabahead.com/VocabularyVideos/Videos/VideoId/132.aspx I thought there was an option in the UVG settings to display the video title as part of the Url. So you would get the /augment.aspx on the end. I could be mistaken though.

Q:  A few questions 1) We are hosting our site in a shared environment and do not have access to IIS7 web server. Can we still get extensionless urls? 2) We are using ZLDNN module for content mgmt. Will this module work with ZLDNN seamlessly? 3)Since we have dynamic content and articles is there a provision to set regex expression to generate urls. Can you provide a screenshot on how that will be done?
A:  Here's the answers to your questions. 1) Yes, with IIS7 the changes are made for you at the web.config level, so you don't need access to the web server. 2) I believe the module works with ZLDNN Ok. You might want to download a trial version from http://www.ifinity.com.au/Producst/Url_Master_DNN_SEO_Urls and try it out. I'm confident that you will have no problems, and if you do happen to have problems, they can be resolved. 3) No, you can't use regex expressions to generate urls. The generation of Urls is done at the base DNN Core and/or module level. Any changes in generated Urls done for DNN modules must be done at the module level.

Q:  Hello, 'Best Web Sites' have referred me to you. Our site has /dotnetnuke/ in all 300+ urls on our site. See our site here: http://www.shareandcompareplay.com/dotnetnuke/Home.aspx Is it possible to remove this and still keep our page rank? Also is there a quick way to do this rather than page by page? We also have internal links within the html in our pages, will I need to remove the /dotnetnuke/ from the <a href="/dotnetnuke/page url"> within the html on all pages where internal links appear? Many thanks, Karen
A:  Yes, you can remove the /dotnetnuke/. Presumably this is within the portal alias of your site. You would just have to add a new portal alias without the /dotnetnuke/ and then setup a redirect to use that alias over the one with the /dotnetnuke/ in it. This would work for all Urls in the site. As for replacing all the links, because the redirect would work on the urls, it wouldn't have to be done straight away. My 'Inline Link Master' product (also available on snowcovered) may be able to do this (would need to trial) but it does not fix it at a database level, it replaces the links at runtime. You may also find other products to do a permanent find/replace of the links in the database, but ultimately you may have to update the majority yourself. But I stress you don't have to worry about it straight away as the /dotnetnuke/ version will be redirected.

Q:  Does this module allow for excluding the file extension for individual URLs? Due to other apps on our website we need to have extensions enabled for the overall website, but we need the ability to add Vanity URLs to our site for Sales|Marketing efforts. For example, we would like to be able to utilize URLs as follows: www.mysite.com/currentOffer
A:  Yes, you have individual Urls with no extension while keeping the overall site using an extension. All you have to do is to allow the website to run with 'wildcard extensions'. This is done through IIS settings. Once this is switched on, you can access a /simple type url. If you have the automatic 301 redirect turned on, it will redirect to /simple.aspx, but the main issue for you is that the Url will direct the person to the correct place, allowing you to use the simple url in print and other advertising. This can be done for any page just by omitting the extension, or you can create short urls as redirects for specific pages by creating a new Url in the 'Page Urls' screen.

Q:  I read in the questions and answers you could perfectly setup a 301 redirect from domain.com to www.domain.com. So I assume you can also setup a 301 redirect from domaina.com and www.domainb.com to all redirect to www.maindomain.com ? Is this correct?
A:  Hi, yes, it's possible to redirect any number of domains back to the single, chosen domain. Please see my blog post http://www.ifinity.com.au/Blog/Technical_Blog/EntryId/68/Using-Multiple-Domain-Names-on-a-DotNetNuke-site on this topic, and let me know if you have any questions. -Bruce

Q:  I have a licensing question similar to some already asked - but I am still not clear on this. If I were to buy a hosting licence, could I use this module on a number of different DNN installations, some with multiple domains/portals? Or do I need to buy a separate license for each installation?
A:  The host licence is not a server licence. 1 host licence = 1 DNN install. If you 5 or less portals in an install, you will be better off with domain-based licences (available in 1-domain or 5-domain configurations). A domain based licence is not restricted to a particular install or server, so you can purchase 5 domains and use the domains across 5 installations, or 2 installations, or just the one.

Q:  We're interested in picking up URL Master to complement our DNN installs. However, your host license says "unlimited domains - Single DNN Install". To prevent all our sites from crashing when something goes wrong with one, we maintain multiple domains, but each with their own DNN installation. Would this mean we would have to purchase individual licenses for each even though they are hosted on the same physical machine?
A:  Hi - there is no server licence for the physical server, the licences either work on DNN installs or domain names. Depending on how many separate sites you have, a domain licence may suit. You can use 5 domain licences (the domains don't have to be on the same install) and just use one domain per install.

Q:  Hi, does it work with different languages, our site www.vcomm.be use french dutch and english language. We are using dsl localisator
A:  Hi yes, it does work with multi-langage installs. I have had feedback from some people that they have got it to work with ds localisator (see http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Support_Forums/forumid/8/threadid/3285/scope/posts) for more detail.

Q:  If I purchase the single domain license and then decide to buy additonal licenses like the 5 domain or host licnse will I have to pay the full price of will it be prorated?
A:  You can purchase upgrades once you have purchased a single domain licence. These are pro-rated so you end up paying the same amount.

Q:  i would like to have a url like this: mydomain.com/banquet point to a page on my dnn site that might something like this: mydomain.com/Banquet/tabid/2398/Default.aspx can i accomplish that with your module? thanks!
A:  Yes, the module will do this by default. You don't need to do anything but install and enable it. If you want to remove the .aspx extension, and you're on IIS6, there are a couple of other steps, but for IIS7 users it's a standard setup.

Q:  In order for this to work, does the module need to be inserted on every page that I want the url shortened or is it a global setting for all pages? Brian
A:  Brian : you just install the module once at the DNN host level, and it will convert every Url automatically. If you dont' want to have a friendly url on a particular page, then you need to exclude those urls on a case by case basis. The module isn't installed on pages, it installs itself at the root level of the site automatically and becomes part of the host/admin menu. When switched on, it starts converting all the urls on all the portals to friendly urls.

Q:  Can your product change the following urls to one word after the domain name/? http://www1.gloucesterva.info/Visitors/tabid/130/Default.aspx TO http://www1.gloucesterva.info/visitors OR http://www1.gloucesterva.info/ParksandRecreationHome/tabid/281/Default.aspx TO http://www1.gloucesterva.info/pr Thank you!
A:  Easy answer : Yes. The 'visitors' url will be done for you automatically when you install the module. The 'pr' url will need to be entered as a custom url for that page. You also will want to switch off the page extensions.

Q:  Could I use iFinity URL Master 1.13 to give normal DNN URLs a simpler URL like http://www.kxl.com/autosales ?
A:  Yes, that's exactly what the module can do. See the http://www.ifinity.com.au/ site for an example of urls like you wish to see.

Q:  When we convert sites from HTML to DNN, we need to do 301 Redirects from somepage.html to someDNNpage.aspx. It looks like this would be possible, is it?
A:  Hi, yes, you can redirect .html pages to .aspx dnn pages. This is an important feature of the module. This support forum post contains a detailed explanation of the steps : http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Support_Forums/forumid/8/threadid/2134/scope/posts

Q:  Hi, We have two installations of DNN - one for our live site (www.MomCheck.com) and one that is a copy of our live site that we use for testing (test.MomCheck.com). May we purchase the single license or do we need to purchase the multi-license package? Thanks so much! Sincerely, Paula Olson
A:  Hi Paula - you only need a single domain licence. Subdomains are not counted as separate domains.

Q:  We have 4 servers: development test staging production Only production is seen by the outside world. The other three are for our internal software and content promotion processes. Can we license your product for the production environment and use it on the non-internet-accessible machines for testing and content promotion purposes? Thanks!
A:  Hi, yes of course, development and test machine licences are provided at no cost with a production licence. Just add the development, test, staging machines to the licence request that you complete after purchasing.

Q:  If I have a friendly URL for a page, will that friendly URL remain in the address bar? What if I have a page that takes querystring parameters to control how the modules inside the page work - is there a way I can have a friendly URL show in the address bar but still get the querystring parameters to the modules so they work right? Thanks!
A:  Hi, yes, the Friendly Url will remain in the address bar. That's what the module does - it both identifies a Page in the DNN Portal based on the name instead of the tabid, and it rewrites parameters passed in 'friendly' format into an ordinary querystring format. Thus mysite.com/page/key/value.aspx becomes (to your modules, but not to the visitor) mysite.com/default.aspx?tabid=xx&key=value. You can download a free trial from http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/UrlMaster_DNN_SEO_Urls/ and try it out for yourself.

Q:  Hi, I bought a license for 1 domain only. your product is amazing, I love it. The way i'm working is one dnn installation for 1 client. and your bigger package is unlimited for 1 dnn installation. is it possible to have price for unlimited on 1 server ??? With that price i'll speak to my client to have money from them... Best regards Francis
A:  Hi Francis, no there is no server licence; only the host licence provides unlimited installs - but as you already have stated, this is per-DNN install.

Q:  does this module works on dnn 5? thanks.
A:  Hi, Yes, Version 1.13 is DNN 5 Compatible.

Q:  Hi, Can I collapse the default DNN subfolder structure into flat folder structure and also rewrite the name of the web page? For example, I would like to rewrite the URL of existing privacy statement page from http://www.mydomain.com/Home/tabid/37/Default.aspx to something like http://www.mydomain.com/privacy-policy.aspx. Thanks!
A:  With the Url Master module, the privacy and terms pages will automatically reset to home/ctl/privacy.aspx and home/ctl/terms.aspx, so you don't need to do any special rewriting. You can also request them at mydomain.com/privacy.aspx and mydomain.com/terms.aspx. To use these two Urls, you'll need to either ditch the custom skin objects, or just hard code the links into your skin. This is all built-in to the module. With regards to 'collapsing' the subfolder structure; I'm not sure exactly what you mean there, but yes, in general, you can replace the Url of any page with any new Url that doesn't have to have the same number of path separators. So /parent1/parent2/child1.aspx can be replaced with /child.aspx. This will occur automatically for generated links, and any 'old' requests will be 301 forwarded to the 'new' url for you.

Q:  can de module also redirect on user-agent type? i try to redirect for a ingame browser with user-agent (=eve-minibrowser/3.0) so i can show a skin & content that is adapted to the ingame browser.
A:  Hi, currently you cannot redirect based on user-agent. You may have to write a custom component to do this, or look at something which will handle changing the skin for a particaulr user agent, but keeping the same url.

Q:  Hello, Do you know if URL Master is compatible with Snapsis PageBlaster?
A:  Hi, Yes the module is compatible with PageBlaster, with one caveat : you must obtain a trial (or full) licence before using it. If you purchase the product, you'll get a full licence, or you can get free trial licences from http://www.ifinity.com.au/Licensing to test the product out. There are many installations of this product where PageBlaster is also installed.

Q:  Let's say I want a url such as www.nextecgroup.com/hot to direct traffic to www.nextecgroup.com/hot.aspx. Will I be able to do this with this module? Thank you, Brian Villaros NexTec Group
A:  Yes, you can, but you must set up your IIS to accept wildcard extensions. This will allow your website to respond to the /hot path, otherwise you will get an IIS-generated 404 error.

Q:  Can this module be used to set up redirects for pages that don't exist within the DNN website? i.e. I am upgrading a website to DNN and wish to be able to point the old file structure to relevant pages in the DNN site. e.g. : http://www.nameofsite.com/boats/yachts/30/index.htm redirects to http://www.nameofsite.com/boats/tabid/54/Default.aspx
A:  Yes, you can set up redirects for pages that aren't in DNN. In this instance, you would need to setup .htm to be processed by asp.net in the IIS configuration. Then you'll need to remove \.htm from the 'ignoreRegex' setting in the 'advanced regex settings' section of the 'friendly url settings' page. Then, in your 'page urls' page, select the page you'd like to redirect to, and enter a new url : boats/yachts/30/index.htm (include the extension even though it says not to). Make sure the http status is set to 301, and save your changes. Now, when you request the /boats/yachts/30/index.htm, you should be redirected to the boats.aspx page. If you need more assistance, please post on the product support forum at http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Support_Forums/. You can also download a free trial from the ifinity.com.au site and try out the redirection.

Q:  Hi, I have read the licencing questions and answers and one thing is still not clear. For the 5 domain licence, can those 5 domains be on different servers or are you saying 5 domains one DNN install?
A:  Hi, yes you can have the 5 domains on separate installations, or all on the one installation.

Q:  I have 2 portals on a single dnn instance www.pokerdiy.com and www.freepokerdir.com. I only want the single license as I only want to run it on www.pokerdiy.com. I got the impression from the questions above that because it installs at Host level I am forced to buy 2 licenses instead of 1, or did I misunderstand? I only want it on PokerDIY.com but I can't split my portals up.
A:  Yes, that is correct. Because the module installs at the host level, you either need a host licence, or you need to licence each portal with a separate domain name. In your case, you would need a licence for both pokerdiy.com and freepokerdir.com. Your best value wiill be a 5 domain licence. You can use the other three domains at any time in the future.

Q:  My question is about licensing. What does "domain" mean ? A portal or a DNS domain ? Thnaks
A:  'Domain' in terms of the licensing equals the top-level DNS domain name of the website the code is running in. For example test.mysite.com www.mysite.com mysite.com are all one domain as far as the licence is concerned. mysite.com my-site.com my-site.org are all separate domains as far as the licensing is concerned. Whether separate domains are all one alias for a portal, or all separate portals in an installation is no difference. The exception is the host licence, where you purchase a licence for a single DNN installation, then you can use as many portals/portal aliases/domain names as you like. The host licence will not work across two separate DNN installations, though.

Q:  Hello. I installed a trial version and noticed that links within my "Text/HTML" modules are not rewritten. They still show "LinkClick.aspx?tabid=23" etc. Is this normal behavior? I'm afraid that these "bad" links will cause search engines to think we have duplicate content. Thanks in advance for your answer!
A:  Hi, the Url Master program ignores the linkclick urls, and it doesn't replace Urls coded inside Html Text modules. You will have to manually update the Urls to the correct location. You can find the correct location by entering /default.aspx?tabid=23 and seeing where it redirects too. Then copy this value into the Html source. As a general rule with SEO and DotNetNuke, you should not use the LinkClick functionality of DNN unless you absolutely need the link tracking functionality of it. For normal linking between pages of your portal, you should craft up a <a href="/mypage.aspx">My Page</a> style anchor.

Q:  It seems that your module does what I need it to do, however, I want to verify. I'm wanting the ability to redirect a user who types http://mysite.com in their browser to be redirected to http://www.mysite.com .
A:  Yes, you can redirect the mysite.com to www.mysite.com, or from www.mysite.com to mysite.com. You can even redirect from mysite.com to subdomain.mysite.com if you want. It's in the 'Friendly Url Settings' page, under 'Do 301 Redirect to single subdomain?'. Just check the box and type in 'www' as the value.

Q:  Do you provide a source code version?
A:  No, there is no source code version available.

Q:  Hi, does your url master module convert letters in URL's with wedges (like č, ř, ž) to letters without wedges (c, r, z)? It is for the czech language. Thank you for answer.
A:  The answer to your question is yes, and no. The Url Master can't automatically convert č to c, but it will allow you to specify your own Url for a page named with a č character in it. For instance, I might have a page called 'Český Krumlov'. The standard DNN Url would be '%C4%8Cesk%C3%BDKrumlov' - which we all agree is pretty ugly. The Url Master module won't automatically convert the name for you, but with it you can specify a new Url for the page called 'Cesky-Krumlov' using ordinary ASCII characters. This will mean the Urls are clean and tidy. You could also stuff keywords into the Url, like this 'Cesky-Krumlov-City-Information' while still keeping your DNN page name 'Český Krumlov', so that it appears spelt correctly in page menus and links. The important feature is this : with the Url Master software, you can have totally different values for the Url and the Page Name. The Page Name is used in menus and links for the text, but the Url for the menu links is generated by the Url Master. So, in the case of Umlauts and Diacratic characters, you can just specify whatever Url you think works best for the page.

Q:  Hello, Is the module working with multilingual portal ? Is Apollo multi-language and Locopon DSLocalizator supported ? DV FX
A:  Yes, the Url Master module is specifically designed to work with multi-language portals. It moves the language specifiers down to the start of the Url path to give a better Url, which makes the two different language versions of the portal appear cleanly separated : like this domain.com/language/en-us/my_page.aspx and domain.com/language/fr-fr/my_page.aspx DSLocalizator is supported, see http://www.ifinity.com.au/product/support_Forums/ for details. Apollo multi-language is not known, but any module which uses the Friendly Url API in DotNetNuke to generate Url's should work correctly.

Q:  As a hosting provider, I really need an Enterprise/Per-Server license. Do you plan to offer this at some point?
A:  Yes, the Host-server licence is now available. This allows for unlimited portals/domains installed in a single DNN instance.

Q:  I read the previous "license" question but am still unclear. I have a DNN installation with 8 portals. I only need URL rewriting on one of these portals. If I'm reading the prior answer correctly, I would need to purchase 8 licenses. If so, this is a real show-stopper. Can you clarify? Thanks!
A:  You can purchase a host licence, which is the best value for 8 portals (at only $37/portal). However, you can't use the Url Master for a single portal - it affects all portals on the DNN installation. This shouldn't matter though, because all portals will receive the benefits of the Url Master module, even if the portal doesn't specifically use some of the more advanced features.

Q:  Many URL solutions create folders in the system to receive the requests they want to redirect. Does yours do this too, or is it an ISAPI filter?
A:  No, there are no folders created to receive requests, and no, it's not an ISAPI filter. You don't need access to the IIS configuration to install. It's a DNN module that installs via the 'Install Module' link, and it replaces the standard DNN Friendly Url Provider. The rewriting section of the module is a Http Module which filters out the incoming ASP.NET requests for those which are for DNN pages, and rewrites both the page Url and any query string parameters as well.

Q:  I have tested this module the first problem or disavantage I faced was the with license. I have a number of DNN installation with many portals each, now some of my customers really wants the url rewriting and some do not. Do I have to manually disable the pages for each portal or would be possible to disable url rewriting per portal Thanks in advance.
A:  There is a 'host' licence available, which means that you can have unlimited portals on a single licence. However, once you install the Module on an installation, all portals will be affected. You can't run two different types of friendly Url providers on a DNN installation easily, just as you can't enable Friendly Urls for one portal and not for another. However, as the module works with most third-party modules and is backwards compatible with the standard DNN urls, you may find that all of your portals work fine with it, although this should certainly be tested. You can download a free trial to do this testing, just go to http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Url_Master_DNN_SEO_Urls/ Hope this helps.
