Firstly, yes I know that I have made a tactical error The reason is simple when I started out I didn't realise how many options for extra pages and features Zen Cart has. So, that is a big hug for the developers.

I now have zen cart in a subdirectory cunningly called 'shop'.

I run, among others, the following mods:
  • Ceon URI mapping
  • Wordpress on Zen
  • Easy populate


At the moment I have realised that it is better for the home page to be part of Zen Cart because then the links are all updated when a new category is added either in Zen itself or in Wordpress. So what I have done is transfer the original home page, which was outside zen in the root, to the front page of the shop. I then implemented a 301 from the original position to the new position.

Which works fine functionally.

From a SEO perspective, I am not sure. I think that I am OK with this configuration. Does anyone have any advice? There aren't many incoming links yet anyway and I have given the SEs an appropriate sitemap. Ideas?

My gut feeling is that I would be happier to move the installation to root. But maybe there is really no need and I do not want to fix something that is not broken. I have read the tutorials and forum entries and can see what to do. Are there any special things that I need to think about regarding the mods I have installed?

Thanks guys....
