Description
I have a suggestion: instead of 'read more' or any custom text, lets make it more SEO friendly by adding tokens, e.g. "Read [node-title-raw] >". The result could be:
Read Ecommerce Law >
Read International Business of the [...] > (trimmed)
Read Your Momma >
etc.
I was told "Read more" links are a SEO killer. So I usually link with full titles, so I get more hits from Google.
Thanks for taking tokens into consideration. Its just an idea, maybe it doesnt fit your module.
#1
Version 6.x-5.x-RC1 (and -dev) includes some major changes in SEO behavior. For example, the
title=""attribute in the link includes the node title.I'm switching the version to 6.x-5.x-dev in the hopes that someone can help integrate tokens. I think this is a great idea, but I don't have much experience working with tokens myself.

Here's a patch that does it. Just tested it for a client and it works nicely, degrades cleanly if token isn't installed.

A slightly modified version of eaton's patch was added and committed to 6.x-5.x-dev. Thanks!
