Yay, let's have the dynamic versus static URLs discussion again

There is no evidence now that dynamic URLs are bad for SEO. There is also no evidence that it is a disadvantage to have static URLs.

As far as duplicate content issues go. Gosh I thought that was what the canonical tags were for? But maybe I misunderstood...

If for whatever reasons you want to have static URLs then there really seems no reason not to have them. The Ceon mod does what it says on the tin. It gives pages static URLs and let's you adjust them. Connor, who is the author of the mod, has said many many times that he doesn't claim that the mod will improve SEO performance and it probably won't. It simply changes the dynamic URLs to static ones so if you like that then it is probably a good mod for you.

(The only downside of the Ceon mod is that it won't automatically create URLs for existing products. Which actually in my experience is a good thing in most cases. You just need to go through the products and accept or edit the new URL )

That used to be the case... years ago. Old knowledge dies hard, especially when you can find it today without disclaimers that it is old.
