    Default Changing page titles? Help needed please!

    Hello

    Hoping someone may be able to help me out.

    Our site is www.senditpacking.co.uk

    When you click on the category names on the home page, the page titles do not correspond, ie if I click on grey mailing bags, the page title in the browser comes up as: http://senditpacking.co.uk/store/ind...&products_id=1

    Should I change this so that the page title includes the category name, and if so how?

    Thanks in advance

    Don't confuse page title with the address bar. The title is shown on the Window Border of your Browser. And for this particular like, it is "12x16 Grey Postage Bags - £0.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce". The address of the webpage is shown in the address bar and it is http://senditpacking.co.uk/store/ind...&products_id=1

    You can change the address of your websites by installing a SEO mod (SimpleSEO, Magic SEO, Ultimate SEO)
    You have to decide for yourself if you want to do this or not. Its not required and its basically unsure if you have a higher ranking with user readable urls or not. SEO urls are definitely easier to understand for users.

    I have never bothered with the so-called "SEO Modules". The search engines will spider your site just as effectively without them, and will return the meta titles and descriptions - both of which are in plain text.

    Very useful is Andrew Berezin's XML Sitemaps mod - which DOES have an influence on SE's.

    I get excellent SERPS for most of my clients, so I (personally) don't see any need for these SEO packages.
