Glad you got that figured out :)

Hi Albert,

Did you get the downloads ok? x_load() is a native x-cart function required for most functionality so really shouldn't be erroring. You'll want to recheck your installation and see if a mistake was made.

I was thinking of two solutions.Say the categorie is table lamps. Which solution would you use for seo ?

ex. www.mysite.com/table-lamps-1.html

or www.mysite.com/news/table-lamps.html

Thanks in adavnce for your advice.

Anty

Hi Anty,

I would be more descriptive in your url and page title. The keyword "table lamps" is very generic. I would attempt to target more long-tail keywords which will also help you rank for "table lamps" i.e. "How to choose the right table lamps" Use Googles keyword suggestion tool https://adwords.google.ca/o/KeywordTool to find the right phrase based on the topic of your article.

xCMS is disabled, CDSEO is disabled, but I added some code to make it constantly enabled as there was a bug/conflict with it and I can't recall what it was.

Please let me know asap so I can get this done.

To uninstall you perform the installation instructions in reverse to remove the file changes, and delete the files and associated database tables which are prefixed in the database with wcm_

The change to keep it enabled is likely in your auth.php file.

I think it is. Well if it is I think this should be fixed in the cdseo software.But maybe I'm wrong. Be waiting for Jons comment. Thanks

If changing the urls in CDSEO 301 redirects will be in place but it usually takes Google a bit to sort them out. You can verify 301 redirects in place by running the old urls through http://www.web-sniffer.net/

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors

Hi Jon,
thanks for your answer. But, not wanting to use long-tail which would you choose.

www.mysite.com/table-lamps-1.html
or
www.mysite.com/news/table-lamps.html

The thing is that when i change url I don't want it to 301 redirect but only change it so that google would recognize it as a completely new,different page.I believe that if I change an url for the same page 5 times and so there will be 5 301s, i don't think that would be any good for seo.I checked an url I changed two years ago, and its still around. Why's that ?

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors

Force trailing slashes is raising a 301 according to the HTTP response header, which is great, but the destination page is cdseopro.php - the 404 error page.

Therefore, all URLs without the trailing slash will be redirected to the same page leading to Duplicate Title, Description and Content errors!

Code:

# WCM - Force trailing slashes

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/[^\.]+[^/]$

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=301,L]

# / WCM - Force trailing slashes

Any suggestions please?

Jon posted a sweet mod that would use the additional page title and description from CDSEO Pro for subcategory pages: http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=338628&postcount=451

Has anyone developed similar for the manufacturer pages?

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors

I've been at this too long now without a break and need a sanity check:

If I redirect with 301 many disabled product URLs to the same page will this constitute duplicate content?

Google has identified lots of legacy links to non-existent pages (error 404) and there are no appropriate product pages to link to, so for each I was going to 301 redirect in my .htaccess files to the closest fit page, which will result in many redirects to the same destination page.

I've never had an issue with the provided code so this is strange. Perhaps try other code formats by google searching for: htaccess force trailing slashes

You could also talk to your host and ask them to turn on the trailing slashes as a server default.

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors

hi, jon, in your "The definitive X-Cart SEO tutorial", you recommended the KeywordDiscovery and Wordtracker, these are paid in monthly subscription which is cost more, but there are some software no need subscription like SEO pwersuite by http://www.link-assistant.com/, do you recommend this kind of software or KeywordDiscovery and Wordtracker, thanks

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors

@albertchui,

This is not really a CDSEO question, so I will let you know what I think...

In short, if your country / language focus dataset is not offered by those keyword tools or you have a lot of spare time, then you don't need them... but read on before deciding not to use them...

Firstly, there is a difference in the focus of these tools - namely:-
1) Link-assistant is a great all-around seo-tool which honestly, I would be lost without - their Ranktracker tool, can more quickly help "suggest keywords" - but note that it can be slow to use to pull "# of searches data (used for calculating KEI)
2) Keyworddiscovery and Wordtracker (and SEMRush) are keyword discovery and keyword data tools - they pull lists of keywords and KEI data very, very fast.

Since you are asking about link-assistant - I will comment on that first for keyword research.
This is a great tool for finding a list of suggested keywords relating to your niche - especially for non-English websites (i.e. using "suggest" in Ranktracker or scrapping from top sites using SEOSpyglass).
There is however one downside of link-assistant when it comes to pulling keyword data... namely that these days, it is hard to easily pull the "# of searches" data using it (basically Google locks up very fast these days when pulling "# of searches" data - really you can only pull 1300 results when logged into a Google Webmaster account).
So why is this an issue? Well, as you know, once you have collected your great list of keyword suggestions, you need some way to compare / rank them for value - the most common method is KEI (and to calculate KEI you need to know the "# searches" per month data!).
So link-assistant is slow and at times pull-your-hair out annoyingly slow for pulling "# of searches" (per month) KEI data - this is the point you should know.

To answer do you need Wordtracker, Keyworddiscovery or SEMRush, depends on a few things:-

A) WHICH COUNTRY/LANGUAGE MARKETS IS YOUR WEBSITE TARGETING / ARE YOU WANTING TO FIND KEYWORDS AND KEYWORD DATA FOR?
A1) Wordtracker pulls data from USA and UK and is based on dogpile, metacrawler and Google data (I understand that only for Google results database only, can you narrow it down to English by a specific region i.e. USA, UK, Australia, NZ, India and South Africa - for data from other sources you get USA data only - but you will need to check that with wordtracker staff to be 100% sure).
A2) Keyworddiscovery - data is available for several countries (and therefore languages) - see this link for more info http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/kd-manual-database-regional.html
A3) SEMRush - data is available for several countries - see this page and click on the country drop down next to the search box to see the list of regional databases http://www.semrush.com/info/zappos.com
NOTE: you will notice that for some country/language markets these three tools do not have any data and therefore can't be used for anything more than keyword suggestions i.e. can't be used for KEI (e.g. Asian markets) - link-assistant however can pull data for any country/language combination (or be it slow sometimes)!

B) HOW MUCH SPARE TIME DO YOU HAVE?
As discussed above you can pull "# searches" data manually very slowly or using link-assistant a little bit faster (a lot faster for "competition" data however, if you use rotating proxies) - the advantage of Wordtracker, Keyworddiscovery and SEMRush therefore, is that you can get "# of searches" and KEI data very very fast and also large keyword lists (the downside is that they are paid solutions and don't have keyword data for some countries / language matches)!

I hope comments help - cheers, Asiaplay

EDIT: Changed Ranktracker "# Searches" to 1300 per time (about 3 minutes to pull that data)... you can of course add more g-mail & google adwords accounts if you have multiple IP addresses you can use (to have multiple Adwords accounts) so you can pull more data than 1300 per day (but it still means there are limits in the amount of data that can be pulled and the time it takes to pull the data).

To Jon or anyone that can give me advice,
have purchased your CDSEOPRO some time ago and have a question. I've renamed url of a same page many times so now I guess there are many 301 between urls leading to one page. Where can I modify or delete this list of 301s.

Thanks

Hi Jon,
As you can see clean url function is a part of xcart now.
CDSEO PRO has almost similar functions like clean url.
Why people will like to spent $149 for CDSEO Pro when they will get similar mod by default for FREE !

My friendly suggestion is that you should not be charge now for updates. Updated version should be available for free to all license holder.
This way people will happy invest in CDEOPRO as they will have assurity to get new features for CDSEOPRO.

What do you think ?

Does anyone know if this page (http://postimg.org/image/mvlwrc2bx/) is something to do with CDSEO? I don't remember this happening before, and I don't really like it so I'm tracking to track down where it's coming from. It happens for any cart functions, or searches, etc.

Oh so the images on there are something you putted in? These images are what makes me think the site has been hacked... unless this is your business I doubt anyone will want to have adult contents on their site...

Are you talking about th epage redirection text/link? This usually happens on Win servers or if some script has white spaces after the closing php tag

tqualizerman

03-29-2013 08:59 AM

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors

That's just the image hosting service.

The server is not a windows server, so it sounds like it could be the php tag issue...which sounds like a really hard thing to track down!

If this is affecting searches, and cart actions is there some common place I might start looking that you can think of???
