I had some issues using the first set of instructions I found for setting up Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on my 1and1 account. I had renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and made some small changes, but I was still having issues. The information below got me up and going. Setting up .htaccess file You will need to make a few changes to the .htaccess file so it is configured correctly. The change descriptions are noted in bold below. Also, note that RewriteBase is relative to the URL of the site, not the absolute path. If you have Joomla! setup in the root directory, this shouldn't be an issue for you. ## Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above. Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On # Uncomment following line if your webserver’s URL # is not directly related to physical file paths. # Update Your Joomla/MamboDirectory (just / for root) # Uncomment this line
RewriteBase / #comment all of the lines of the below section # Uncomment all lines

Thanks for this. The above still works for 1&1 in the UK in April 08.
Why does it work when you uncomment the 3rd party stuff, even tho not using 3rd party? Weird Still not working
I've done the changes and still nothing.
Are you using this with a third party plugin? like 404SEF? Nice Joomla Templete
That is definitely true about this comments- Joomla SEO on 1and1 actually I am using Joomla for last few days and goes nicely

Also when customizing htaccess file you can ad custem redirects form non www to www and backwards.

If the host is down when Googlebot tries to access your pages, then those pages may disappear from the index until Googlebot can crawl them again. In webmaster tools, do the pages you want indexed appear in the crawl errors section? If so, then Googlebot was unable to access them.
SEO friendly Links

THANKS For apache
basic purpose of the .htaccess file here is to Rewrite the cryptic URL’s from a dynamic content management system to more readable URL’s
For Apache to be able to do that, it needs to know some things about the URL Joomla produces and how they should be handled These information is stored in the .htaccess file. Blogging
Such a fantastic article, it really helps in gaining traffic to your website, Thank you so much for posting!
