Magic SEO URL vs Ultimate SEO URL vs SEO_G

[SPH]

We're using the Magic SEO URLs on three Zen Carts. It works, even with PayPal. The *** a pop is worth it versus the time (days?) spent trying the other mods. Set-up in minutes.

Search engines (google, yahoo) already picking up new seo urls. Had to generate a new google sitemap with new urls.

Did you have to pay for each site or can use use the one purchase and change the code to use in different sites? Have you tried the Magic sitemap and if so how did it come out?

How does the code work? Do you insert it into each template or into tpl_main_page or....?

We are seriously considering this and would appreciate any other feedback about it before spending the $$ on it.

We've tried Ultimate SEO URL 3.thelatest but it's conflicting with our very heavily modded site and I've had to disable it out of frustration. I know that I am not alone by any stretch, so I know it's not just something that I've done wrong.

Thanks!

We are also using magic seo url and you can see it on our site by clicking on the link my signature. Both the Magic SEO URL and the FREE sitemap they provide works flawlessly. There is only one limitation which is pointed out on their site as that (you can only have the category levels with the nicely formatted seo url). If you have deeper category level, the mod still works, it just doesn't rewrite.

Personally, I do not care for the a huge .htaccess file which magic seo url generates but we are on a pretty fast server so we haven't seen degradation as a result of 900+ lines of .htaccess codes.

If and when Magic SEO URL offer feed generators in addition to sitemap things will be complete then. We still use google, msn, ebay and yahoo store feeders which obviously wasn't coded to use the cached magic seo url.

The installation is a breeze, you upload on file to the includes folder, another to cache folder and add one line of code to application_top and you're ready to go.

If you have any specific question, contact them, the support is great and very fast response.

It is likely expected I write here "Magic SEO URL is The Best", but no - I don't like such kind of spam and I also believe that the real (I hope positive) experiences from our customers are more welcomed, so I only write little notes to clarify some things.

The Magic SEO mod claims to require only 1 line change and doesn't get in the way of upgrades, and supposedly works with all other mods which I think is an issue with the other two SEO URL mods.

• Yes, only one line of code is required for installation.
• Updates are available here: http://www.magic-seo-url.com/updates/

Personally, I do not care for the a huge .htaccess file which magic seo url generates but we are on a pretty fast server so we haven't seen degradation as a result of 900+ lines of .htaccess codes.

The number of lines in .htaccess depend on how much "Product types" is used in the store. It can be lowered by removing unused types in administration (you can have only about 200 lines for example).

How/where does one remove the unused product types in admin, like you mention?

Ah, it's under catalog....but I can't delete them from there. Still need some help.

I just have a problem with this module that has actual code interqaction with the core code,
and its closed source,

kinda odd there dont you think

ZenCart administration - Catalog - Product Types.

I must be missing something. I don't see anyway to delete them. I see Edit and Edit Layout.

If you're using this mod and you advertise with Google Adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing you want to read this post: http://www.magic-seo-url.com/board/g...roblem-13.html

There is a major issue with auto-tagging and url tracking that maybe costing you money if you don't apply the fix. Unfortunately, I was not aware of this problem for a considering period of time.
