Hi, this is original url for tag

index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id=2-news

when I am using Joomla Router it looks like this

component/tags/tag/2-news

how can I change it using sh404sef into something like this for all of my tags

tag/news

Thank you

Hi

We use the same URL structure for tags than Joomla. Tag pages are not indexed and do not rank, so they URL structure doesn't matter really.

It is not tru because I have a lot tags indexed https://www.google.pl/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=site:www.xxxx.com/component

sh404sef can't remove id from tag names?

Hi

Indexed does not mean ranking. Tags page are like category pages, they are just a central repository for other "things". They don't rank by themselves, they are just competing with your own content.
Tags pages are good for content discovery, so that search engines can find your pages, but they are not useful to rank.

Having such page as https://www.xxxx.com/component/tags/tag/486 or https://www.xxxx.com/tag/5-polityka?lang=en&start=20 is very bad for you, because those are pages with no value, and they use valuable "crawl budget" (even though crawl budget does not exist like this, I simplify).

You should probably set them to "noindex,follow" instead of letting Google index them, that would be very beneficial for your site.

So no, we do not remove ids from tags URls, or do anything with them at all.

I understood. Do you have any own articles about SEO things, which showing how to use it with your component?

Thank you

Hi

Our best documentation is the documentation itself. However, SEO itself is a very large topic, not specific to sh404SEF - for istance what we discussed above, which is covered by many bloggers and specialized sites. They do a much better job than what we could do I think.
