Product Review link modification for SEO
I've noticed that, when I hover over the Submit a Review text it has the Product Code on it, ie
Code:
https://affordableleather.co.uk/ReviewItem/BEL01
I'm just wondering whether, for SEO purposes, it would be better to use the SEO URL ie
Code:
https://affordableleather.co.uk/ReviewItem/2-inch-leather-belt
I can probably do that change myself in my installation, but would doing this in the next release not be beneficial for all K9 users?
My only concern might be that it would invalidate links to any previous reviews, but I'm not sure.

Re: Product Review link modification for SEO
Thanks for the suggestion. Search engines really shouldn't be crawling the submit review page. It, in most cases, would be considered duplicate content and dilute the main product page's ranking. Sometime recently (either with version 9.3 or in the upcoming 9.4 - I can't recall) we changed those links over to nofollow links to prevent indexing. So the change you're proposing would be pointless as those pages should not be indexed. I hope that makes sense. Keep looking for SEO improvements - we're always looking to stay on top of all the other solutions out there in that area.

Re: Product Review link modification for SEO
The reviews themselves would contribute to the page content and could be targeted by a search. This is in relation to the review page/form for submitting a review - that shouldn't be indexed and could count as duplicate content (versus your real product page).
