Thumb Scripts & SEO
 

I have an old tgp that is doing well on google and its running an older script like autogallery/tgpx and im looking at replacing it with smartthumbs but was wondering the differences in how theyre currently treated by google? Should it be the same? Its been a while since i looked into the seo side of smartthumbs but i recall a thread or two about it back in the day and smartthumbs script wasn't treated very well when it came to rankings.

Whats the latest? I would hate to see a big drop because of the change.

Or do you think it wont matter?

why are you changing it?

Actually im not 100 percent sure yet because i haven't actually gone inside and taken too hard of a look at autogallerysql but smartthumbs has a better interface, and ive been using it for many many years. And i believe smartthumbs to have better thumb rotation options but i could be wrong, if so, correct me.

I mean, its running autogallery sql. tgpx i believe is the newer version of autogallerysql? and even tgpx has been dead for some time, as far as updating and support, etc. - while smart-thumbs is still updating and kicking, i figured it would be a smarter move. But mainly its the rotation options im concerned with so far

not to mention, i own smartthumbs already so i wouldn't be purchasing it

go for stream rotator or stxt

Seems as if stxt is better for multicategory, however its missing the main st feature, sort by last clicks. which is the main reason i have been using ST for as long as i have

You can mix STXT with ST thumb ranking.. ask [email protected] he will be happy to help..

Google has always been great for ST on the SEO field..we had some trouble few years ago were Google changed some algo's but the fixed that pretty quick..

Oh great, thanks! I will definitely contact him and look into this more.
