Yes I got it and have responded.

CDSEO Pro and FTS Feed mananger Pro, and Google Crawl
 

We had Websitecm install CDSEO Pro couple of weeks ago and what a fantastic Mod. Why have I gone without it for such a long time.

OK, couple of issues I need help on.

I have just checked Google Crawl error and it seems 8,704 of our links are "Restricted by robot.txt" I have copied recommended robot.txt by CDSEO Pro. For example,

http://www.pdahut.com/3-in-1-covertor-for-the-htc-suitable-for-htc-touch-diamond-htc-diamond-100.html?js=n

I'm assuming this is what should happen and is correct as robot.txt restricts "Disallow: /*js=*". Just wanted reassurance.

Before CDSEO Pro, we were 1st page for many of our keywords and I'm assuming while Google re-indexes our site CDSEO Pro URLs, our position is nowhere to be found. Is this normal too? I'm assuming it'll take few weeks for Google to start indexing proper and fingers crossed, we'll have our search position back.

And last, I'm having problem with FTS Feed Manager Pro. I'm trying to export CDSEO Pro URLs to Google base feed. In Feed mapping, I've selected Product URLs as "CDSEO". But the FTS Feed Manager stops at "getting product URLs" stage. I have cleared template cache, but nothing. I don't want Google Merchant Centre to disapprove our account because of URLs as we already experienced problems with them.

Hi Sandip,

Yes those urls should be restricted by robots.txt. Since CDSEO now has the canonical link urls they don't necessarily need to be blocked either though.

Its normal for rankings to flucuate temporarily during the indexing period. Make sure that you installed CDSEO correctly and its working correctly and otherwise don't panic :) We've never had a single person install CDSEO Pro properly and come back to us and say their rankings didn't improve after reindexing.

If your feed manager pro is very old - which it likely is being on 4.0 - its probably configured for CDSEO Basic no pro, so you'll want to upgrade to the latest feed manager version.

Jon, we're already number one in Yahoo because of CDSEO Pro for most of our keywords, and I am sure Bing and Google will slowly but surely do it's work. Fantastic module.

I have just sent a request on websitecm support.

Thanks Jon

Excellent - usually yahoo is the slowest and sometimes takes months while Google typically takes 7-21 days :)

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

Just wondering,

Is there anyways of exporting product "Page Title" from CDSEO Pro into Firetanks's Feed Manager Pro when creating a Google Base feed? I understand URLs can be selected to CDSEO Pro.

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

You can do this with a custom query in your google base feed to query the cdseoLinkTitle from the wcm_cdseo table.

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

Jon, how do I custom query? I'm assuming I select "php code" in type and what code do input in DATA field?

Thank you very much in advance.

I don't know what the exact code would be off hand but there's information in the feed manager help file about creating custom values.

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

I just purchased the CDSEO Pro/XCMS package from Carrie at BCSE without intallation. I am using 4.1 along with featured product manager, MAP pricing, customer rewards, customer rewards referral, X-affliliate, Amazon feed (Magneticone), Feed Manager (Firetank) and XCSEO basic. I was going to install CDSEO Pro tonight, but I read some old posts stating that it does not work with CDSEO Pro and that I need to remove XCSEO (vice turning the module off). Does it function with Featured Product Manager? I can't find any removal instructions for XCSEO basic. I didn't install it - I was suckered into it by an X-Cart vendor that offered "we'll install OUR SEO mod for $100 instead of our usual $200 if you buy it now". Imagine my horror when I went to the modules section of admin and saw that it was the free version along with a "Donation" button. LOL. But anyway that is why I have no documentation. Now, I'm not sure if I made a mistake by buying CDSEO Pro and should just leave the XCSEO alone? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
