Change url.com/category/ to url.com/custom-text

[eupaulzaza]

Hello Mark and Basti, can you please help me to do this modification?

From
http://xprivateservers.com/category/Ace-Online/
to
http://xprivateservers.com/private-servers/Ace-Online/

You told me before that the category part in the URL can't be removed so i would like to know if i can at least change the text

And also, is it a problem SEO wise if the url has capital letters (for example "Ace-Online" instead of "ace-online")?
If Google sees url.com/Ace-Online as a different page from url.com/ace-online that is going to be a big problem because it will appear like duplicate content.

I know i can change everything to small letters but i want them to appear in the category menu with uppercase at the beggining of each word for aesthetic purposes.

It would be good if it could 301 redirect or something from all uppercase versions to small digits

Thanks

you dont need to do either of these, once you start monkeying around changing these URL's you are going to cause problems for yourself. The links throughout the entire site are dynamically generated, leave the link building to the script and you wont have ANY duplicate content issues.

Mark is right, and google is smart.

Google gives some extra weight to urls, but they also change their algorythm, at this point you shouldnt worry too much about that stuff

for this part, check out the CSS property: text-transform

usage:
text-transform:uppercase
text-transform:capitalize
text-transform:lowercase

or build your category menu using plain HTML instead of using our automated functions.
