If I may interject here;

I have been using simple seo for a few months now on my site and have recently achieved a PR of 3. Some people may argue that PR or pagerank doesn't have much to do with search results, but "oh contrair mon frair"! PageRank along with other factors is VERY important, because PageRank tells googles spiders whether or not your site is even worth looking at (anytime in the next century or so). You achieve higher PR by getting other sites with good PR that have similar or relevant content to link to your site (while at the same time avoiding link farms like the plague).

Simple SEO creates urls that are much more user friendly and are actually more search engine friendly as well. They work much faster with GoogleBase and Yahoo Submit, and if your site is fairly new, duplicate url's won't be a big problem. They will simply, fade away. For older sites, it may take longer, but duplicate urls, when changing from a dynamic system to a more static looking, or natural looking system is an unavoidable nuisance, but one that will eventually fade away as well.

Now, with all that said, the MOST important thing is, CONTENT, CONTENT, AND MORE RELEVENT CONTENT! A very hard task to master for retail/wholesale sites that carry general merchandise, but should be a snap for specialty stores.

Here is a link to a page at Google that will help to explain SEO much better than I ever could.

Handy Dandy Link to Google

I hope I've been able to help at least one person. If so, then I feel good.

All sound advice - thanks for that.

Indeed - no one really knows how to get the top spot on any search engine, except the search engines! I guess what is important in this thread is whether these mods benefit or hurt your site's ranking when compared to the standard ZC link structure. As ranking is not only controlled by how the urls look (e.g. your site may be more popular because it has nicer looking urls, thus creating more people linking to your site), then user-friendlyness, ability to see what page you're on and what it's parents are, etc, is also important.

Frankly, I think that the admins should ban you since you are only here to promote your own paid-for product and you have never offered anything other than shameful self-promotion of your paid-for mod!!!! Never once have you offered any kind of support or REAL free advice to benefit zen cart users! You should look at other examples of professional support that is offered here, you really could learn more than a thing or two.

And, just to clarify this a little more, just have a look at IRay's profile and see his posts. Out of the 45 posts he's made to this forum, most, if not all, are to promote his own paid-for mod! Think I'm wrong or just a pissed-off customer? Just look at his posts, it says it all.

lankeeyankee, please do not turn your posts into personal attacks. Forum Rules do not allow it and it just makes "you" look bad. This doesn't mean you cannot state your personal experience with someone's Product or Service, but that is quite different from posting Personal attacks.

I am only defending MSU. My post are very rare since I am very busy.
Btw this topic also includes MSU and I think I was posting here only facts, not any promotion bull ########.

You are, of course, absolutely correct Rob. Sorry to all for losing my cool.

You can see this is obviously a bit of a touchy point and I really do appreciate the objective viewpoint. There is more to this story, but I will not sully this great place with the timeline of dirty details... Thanks for keeping me in line with the purpose of why we are all here, Rob!
