A Few SEO Options
A few seo options that would be nice to have.
1. When adding a link to an external site, tick box to add the rel="nofollow" tag.
2. Canonical link element. Build the canonical link element settings into the CMS
3. Add a tick box option in the document properties - metadata options page to set the following tag: <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
4. Add function so you can manage the robots.txt file direct from the CMS. For multiple site installs could some form of rewriter work to allow a separate robots.txt for each site

Output lower case urls in the markup when using "redirect all requests to lower case URLs"
In SiteSettings -> URLs and SEO -> "Redirect all requests to lower/upper case URLs", it would be nice if an output filter simply changed the case of all urls so that the urls appear lower/upper case in the markup. This would prevent unnecessary redirects and could also be cached... overall lighter load on the server.
You would then need to change the name of the setting to "Output only lower/upper case urls"

alias redirect
Problem: when migrating a site from another platform, I'd like to create new urls, but allow the old urls to redirect to the new urls.
Solution: Add another property to a document's 'document alias' - redirect to url.
This allows the entry of old-style urls that automatically get 301 redirects to the new-style urls.

robots file rewrite
Since all robots.txt files MUST be in the root of the site, it is impossible to have separate files for each site in Kentico. It would be nice to specify a location in the site settings, such as:
~/<SiteName>/robots.txtThen all requests made to domain.com/robots.txt would be rewritten to the appropriate place. I have implemented this on our solution, but it required some modification of the URLRewritingEngine. My modification does not use SiteSettings either... it ALWAYS rewrites to the url I gave above... which is different for each site.

Add support for Canonical Link Element
In addition to "Redirect document aliases to main URL," (formerly a web.config appSettings directive), I'd like to see an option for "Use Canonical Link Element."
With that option, the URL alias would be honored and persist in the address bar, but an indication of the actual URL would be made as a canonical link element in the <head>:
<link rel="canonical" href=" http://www.example.com/Actual-Url "/>

Resolve macros in "Page not found URL"
In a multi-lingual site would help to be able to specify different content pages to display when a page is not found. If macros could be used in 'Page not found' property in Site Manager, would enable this.

URL Custom Invalid Characters
There is a "Forbidden URL characters" setting under "URLs and SEO" that replaces all invalid characters with the same character - a dash.
To explain, I want to give an example. For example, in Turkish language there is a letter "ı" (i without dot). Every time we create a document with this character, we go to URL tab under Properties and replace all instances of this character with "i". All other letters are fine, except this "ı".
Is there a chance to make a custom replacement or maybe improve it somehow?
Thank you.
