Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

First, I really know very little about SEO. That being said, my main question is: aren't search engines (at least the major ones like google or bing) smart enough these days that this kind url rewriting isn't necessary anymore?

My second question: Alot of stuff in ZenCart happens based on GET params. If the url doesn't have the query string anymore does that effect the core code operations like if's and switches?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I have two questions that I am hoping to find an answer for.

Firstly I have SimpleSEO (it comes up as BETA 3.7.1 in the module manager) installed and running on Zen Cart 1.3.8a patch 1, and am reasonably happy that it is creating URLs with nice names.... however.... my search engine rankings are terrible and not a single page has been indexed by google. The shop I am working on has 87 pages according to the latest sitemap which does work ok and has been up and running now for two months so I would expect it to start appearing in Google after spending many hours working on inbound links, adwords and the like.

I see on Googles Webmaster tools that google is crawling my pages one page per currency. ie
http://www.xyz.com/bitsnpieces-gallery?currency=USD&sort=0
http://www.xyz.com/bitsnpieces-gallery?currency=GBP&sort=0
both of which point to the same page http://www.xyz.com/bitsnpieces-gallery which is also in googles cache.

Is this normal? I've read a lot up on the Google pages and it says that Google doesnt appreciate duplicate content. Surely this is duplicate content and hence undesireable for my SEO?

Secondly I have found that my cache/ssu directories are massive ....46.04 MB for only 87 pages of content. Is this normal? I mean, my Cache is larger than my entire product database! 29.74MB is in the /ssu/pc directory and 15.93 in ssu/aliases!

Thanks in advance
Greg

Clear all cache files (ssu cache), and also post the content of your current includes/configure.php here without the password part please

Raine

Cleared the cache... It seems to be a systemic problem, all of the sites on my server that use zencart have this same issue. Before I moved the accounts, everything worked.

Here's the configure.php:

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I' updated simple seo to version 3.5.8 from the site:

http://eazyecommerce.com/web-templates/zen-cart/modules/simple-seo-url

Everythings work's fine exept when I tryed to log in
admin > extras > simple seo url manager, where I'v got the following error:

1062 Duplicate entry '/fetish/' for key 3
in:
[ALTER TABLE links_aliases ADD UNIQUE (link_alias);]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Have you got some suggestions?

Thank' a lot!

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Are you sure it's 3.5.8, when did you get it ? It's a bit old. Please let me know if redownloading still doesnot solve it for you, I will send you a package

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Pre-Installation questions:

I was using CEON URI Manager, but unfortunately it's not letting a vital script used to upload and update products work!

So I decided to switch to Simple SEO, but first I want to know if after completely removing the URI module, it will work fine, and what steps are necessary in order to start clean.

I also read at the wiki, if I use php 4, I need another version, then where can I download it?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I downloaded from this site a few days ago.

http://eazyecommerce.com/web-templates/zen-cart/modules/simple-seo-url  

In the readme is writed that the last version is not always aviable in the addon section.

Ok. I will upload a version from zen cart addons section.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I had the version 3.5.8 before, but my cache won't delete, only loading and loading and loading!

Today, I downloaded and upploaded the version 3.5.8

Now it work's!

Thank's a lot!

So the moral of the story is to download it from the addons.

I apprecciate your work yellow 1912

Then it means you have not really uninstalled it. You need to go back and remove every file it added.

Are you sure this is ssu? This function doesnt belong to this module.

Meaning you are running on php4, ssu requires php5

Also, from the above post it seems like you have 2 seo url modules installed, which will break things.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hey Yellow, might you have any idea why I can't clear my alias cache? This seems to be causing my links to occasionally quit working so that you click on them and it just takes you back to the home page.

What is your current version? Turning off cache will cause your site to load very slow.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hi There,

I'm hoping you can help here. We love Simple SEO it works great except for one minor issues.

  1. I have added the Fast and easy checkout by numinix. It added a new page ''checkout', however the SEO doesn't seem to like to convert it. When we go to the checkout pages it remains as index.php?main_page=checkout&action=null

Any ideas?

I am running Beta 3.7.1 of Simple SEO
Zen cart 1.37
