Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[countrycharm]

Just a note, Google 99% of the time will not index all your links, so to make sure Google indexes your most important pages is a SEO art (which can be learned, of course)

Well I bet you are the the one that could teach me that art.....lol

http://www.seomoz.org/ is the right place for you to learn all that sort of things.

But in short, you want to make sure you want to present the most important links to the search engines FIRST. For example, if you have some links that the search engines need to go through several sub-pages to grab them then the chances are high that they can be ignored. A good example in our case is:

Home page -> category -> sub cat level 1 -> sub cat level 2 -> then go to page 12 of the category listing page -> product link

You can see in our case the search engines need to go through more than 10 pages to eventually get to our product page.
(think of how you normally go to this specific product, search engines have to do the same, and they can't use the search feature btw)

Thanks for the reply yellow. IT does make absolute sense that something must be wrong with my html_output.php if my URLs are not being re-written internally. As always, you're amazing, thank you so much for writing this mod. I really think Zen Cart needs to make this mod part of their standard cart in the future (once this mod is done). In fact, maybe they should hire you! :)
