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

retrtrtrytrutru: CDSEO won't remove custom variables such as 'manid' since it assumes there is a good reason for them :) Try enabling the rewrite base in your .htaccess file to correct the 404.

Thanks, Steve.

Open your modules/cdseolinks/cdseo_config.php

At the bottom of the file, just before ?> put:

Code:

// WCM - Modify _p urls

if ($_GET['cdseopage'] == 'auto-population')

    db_query("UPDATE wcm_cdseo set cdseoUrl = replace(cdseoUrl,'_p','-p')");

Hi Jon.

That didn't fix it. If I add a new product with "<space>p" in the Product Name, then run auto-populate, the url still shows "_p".

I did but it doesn't work unfortunately, still the same error :(

Code:

The requested URL /cdseopro.php was not found on this server.



Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Also tried removing everything from my .htaccess file but to no avail. I now have only this in the .htaccess file:

Code:

Edit, even when I directly type in the URL to the cdseopro.php file in my browser I get a 404 error page, but this page is from the hosting company. I have contacted them if they know what's going on here...

Thanks Jon, it's not a silly question but I am 100% sure the file was uploaded. I think my hosting company did something because since this morning the links are working. Haven't heard from them what they've changed but I assume they will let me know later today. Now, back to experimenting ;)

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

Hi Jon,

I have a small problem for which I hope you can provide a simple solution. It seems that after installing CDSEO Pro the language selector has been broken. In customer/home.tpl and dialog_c.tpl I have the following code to let customers select their desired languaged:

Code:

  <a href="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?{$smarty.server.QUERY_STRING}&sl=US" title="English"><img width="38" height="37" src="{$SkinDir}/img/icon-en.gif" alt="English"></a>

  <a href="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?{$smarty.server.QUERY_STRING}&sl=NL" title="Nederlands"><img width="38" height="37" src="{$SkinDir}/img/icon-nl.gif" alt="Nederlands"></a>

  <a href="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?{$smarty.server.QUERY_STRING}&sl=DE" title="Deutsch"><img width="38" height="37" src="{$SkinDir}/img/icon-de.gif" alt="Deutsch"></a>

  <a href="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?{$smarty.server.QUERY_STRING}&sl=FR" title="FranГais"><img width="38" height="37" src="{$SkinDir}/img/icon-fr.gif" alt="FranГais"></a>

But when you now click on any of these links it takes you to:

Code:

cdseopro.php?&manid=XXXX&sl=US

But these pages do not exist so you just get a page not found error. Do you have any advice on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance :) I can provide you with a link to the website, it's a test server so I'd rather not post it in public.

Jon	05-20-2009 07:39 PM

Hi Jon,
I am interested in purchasing CDSEO pro, but I have a couple questions about how much you plan on charging for upgrades due to the ambitious roadmap Qualiteam has set up to get to X-Cart v5. We are currently at 4.1.9, but are working on upgrading to 4.2.1 (mainly for the dimensional shipping feature). If we purchase your 4.2.x version now, will you upgrade people for free when v5 comes around (provided they're doing their own installation, of course)?

Hi Jon.

This is now happening with new category urls, that is they are being changed to _p Do you have a permanent fix for this please? Does this also apply to manufacturer and static page urls?

Thanks, Steve.

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

Can you explain how CDSEO makes use of the 'canonical tag'?

Jon	06-05-2009 10:33 PM

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

The CDSEO url is listed in the canonical tag. A page can be accessed by several different urls, for example:
http://www.example.com/page.html
http://www.example.com/page.html?sort=X
http://www.example.com/page.html?somevar=X
http://www.example.com/page.html?blahblahblah

The possibilities are endless. CDSEO puts the canonical tag of http://www.example.com/page.html on the page, so whenever any one of the infinite other possibilities are accessed by search engines, they consolidate all of the page rank to the one url.

Why don't I receive a response? Also via WebsiteCM no response at all. What's going on? I need to finish this because we just launched our new website and I am worried Google will start indexing old links. Nobody knows how to import via CSV? Does anyone have an example file? I can't find the info on the website, only that it's easy to do.. well not for me. Even when I export the categories SEO data and try to import it again it says url > Error: Invalid CDSEO Type specified...

06-26-2009 01:00 AM

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

Jon, where are you? I fixed the CSV problem, apparently CDSEO Pro does not accept ; as delimiter and you need to use , as delimiter instead. You should really mention this or improve CDSEO Pro because when I upload a CSV to X-Cart to update product or anything elso it works fine. Anyway, a new problem and an urgent one:

I found that when a category has " P" (spaceP) in its name you get a page not found error, I suspect it has something to so with the problem mentioned earlier in this thread. I tried adding the "WCM - Modify _p urls" code to cdseo_config.php but this doesn't fix it or I'm doing something wrong. This is a serious flaw in CDSEO Pro and my enthusiasm about CDSEO has dropped a lot to be honest. When I reported the problem with the CSV file to WebsiteCM it took them 4 days to respond and then their answer was wrong. They told me my CSV was corrupt, yeah right...

Sorry to be so harsh Jon but it's unacceptable to have to wait days and days for help when you're running a live website. And these CSV and _P errors are not something you would expect to encounter in a recommended X-Cart mod.. Another thing that bothers me is that you charge money for updates of the software. I bought the last update, 1.3.6 I believe it was, for “bing.com” support and paid $35. I bought the update because I thought maybe it would fix my CSV problem because I got no support but it didn’t work. Anyway, I think you shouldn’t charge money for such a minor update. Support for new search engines should be something that all your customers can benefit from, without having to pay extra.

Anyway, as you can read I am frustrated. I hope everything is ok with you Jon and you have a fix for my current problem. Look forward to hearing from you, until then I would not recommend CDSEO Pro to others.

Edit, extra:

I found that the problem with the page not found error also happens with categories that don't have the -P in their name. We sell projector lamps and I include the codes of these lamps in the URL. When the lamp contains -P in its name the problems also happens, the following link for examples don't work:

http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Fujitsu-LPF-C211-lamp-LPF-P767.html?&manid=2850
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-PX10-lamp-LMP-P202.html?&manid=6150

And these, for example, do work:

http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Fujitsu-LPF-D711-lamp-LPF-QLD1WW.html?&manid=2850
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-SC60-lamp-LMP-600.html?&manid=6150

Edit 2:

I have done more research and I think I have narrowed down the problem; when the URL ends with Pxxx where the xxx stand for a random number, the page cannot be displayed. Not sure where this problem comes from, but check these examples:

http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-S500-lamp-PK-PJ500.html?&manid=6150 (works)
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-FX41-lamp-LMP-P260.html?manid=6150 (page cannot be found)

I can fix this problem, for now when I do an export in CDSEO Pro and replace every -P with P but it's not a pretty fix. I am also thinking of making every URL lowercase, I read that's better for SEO purposes. So, it might be that the links I posted will not work anymore because I will have fixed/worked around the problem myself ;) I will for example change:

http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-PX11-lamp-LMP-P202.html?&manid=6150 to http://www.qualitylamps.eu/sony-vplpx11-lamp-lmpp202.html?&manid=6150

Any thoughts on this highly appreciated of course.

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

Retryrtrytrrutryturu,

Your problem is the way you're forming links:

http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-...ml?&manid=6150 (works)
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-...tml?manid=6150 (page cannot be found)

In the first link you have a ?&manid=6150, which doesn't make sense but is working because your server is throwing away the ? and looking at just the &manid=6150. In the second one, you just have a ?, which normally would be fine except there's already an ? in the URL that you don't see - CDSEO covers it up. that Sony-VPLxxx.html actually contains "?productid=482378", CDSEO's script rewrites it as such behind the scenes - so you want to follow any .html with a &variable=, not ?variable=. Make sense?

Edit - just tested it on your site, just using &manid=6150 wasn't working either, so I think you need to look at your .htaccess file to see if there are any rewrite rules causing problems.

Dear necroflux, thanks for the input. I know the &?manid= is not the problem since if you remove this whole part and enter the URL without it, it still fails. The problem comes from links ending with -Pxxx which is throwing X-Cart or CDSEO Pro off. I have now corrected the links as such and they are working fine now:

http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-FX41-lamp-LMP-P260.html?manid=6150 changed to
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-FX41-lamp-LMPP260.html?manid=6150

Notice the difference is in LMP-P260, changed to LMPP260. I don't know if this problem comes from X-Cart of CDSEO Pro. The ?manid= part is a custom mod which is needed to show the manufacturer image on the page and in the H1 title on the page but if I could drop this part and still keep its functunality that would of course be great but I have no idea how to do this (so hide the "?manid=XXXX" part completely but still keep the manufacturer image on the page and in the H1 title). Thanks again for any input :)

Ps. I did get a response from WebsiteCM but they told me to upgrade to the latest version. Not exactly helpful since I am already running the latest version and then they advised me to do the SQL patch to replace _p with -p, also not related to my problem.

Jon	06-29-2009 09:07 AM

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

I opened the csv you provided in excel and it was not delimited. I took the same information, delimited it, and it imported, which lead me to believe the export was corrupted or perhaps you were using a very old version of microsoft excel which was reformatting the information.

We have a 25% upgrade policy after 3 months of free upgrades which is standard among many of the vendors in the upgrade community. This policy helps us to stay in business while paying for modules to be updated and compatible with continuous x-cart updates.

While usually we are much more prompt with our replies, for various reasons our support is currently not as prompt as usual though we are doing the best we can.

We gave you a download link to the latest version as when support tickets are issued we can't always know which version the person is running, and so providing that becomes pro-active. By default the 1.3.6 version will no longer auto-populate with the -p format indicating that you either customized yours to use -p or you were using an older version of the auto-population. The issue in all your urls that are not working is that the -p matches CDSEO's pagination and changing to _p will correct this. The sql patch provided is a way of doing that quickly instead of with csv.

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

Maybe Jon or one of the other folks out there can help me on this.

Whenever I run the generate sitemap module in CDSEO Pro I have to enter my username and password in the middle of it creating the sitemap. I assume that this is because I have my admin protected. It is no big deal when I do this manually but it causes a problem when trying to set this up as a CRON job. Every time that it attempts this I get an error email with the following....
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to work in a CRON?

Thanks,

The cdseo sitemap file should be uploaded and run from the root directory so shouldn't involve logging into your admin section at all. What wget command are you running?

The way I import now is that I save the CSV file in Excel, close Excel and use a text editor to replace all ; with , instead. This works ok.

Ok, I can understand that. The last update only added bing.com support, something I think you shouldn't charge money for. If more things were changed under the hood you should mention it so people know what they pay for.

Yes, I know. I bought the software because I was impressed with your responses. But then when I installed in our live site and ran into serious problems you were nowhere to be found. This was frustrating for me of course but I understand that you're not a robot and have a personaly life as well. But a message would have been nice simply stating you were having problems or were not available or anything instead of being kept in the dark.

The sql patch provided is a way of doing that quickly instead of with csv.

Ok, thanks for explaining, I understand that CDSEO Pro uses pagination. I would have liked it a lot if CDSEO Pro at least gave me a warning though when creating URLs that will conflict with the pagination because now I only found out by accident.

Anyway, I was frustrated with CDSEO but I am glad you're back Jon. No hard feelings, I am still happy with CDSEO Pro, now that I know which things I need to look out for to avoid problems.

Regards,
Dennis

I just added this cdseopro and while I have a lot of work to do, I was wondering how long before I should see results in the search engines so I can determine if I need to change anything for higher rankings.

Also, any free website analasys tools out there? I basically want to compare my rank against other sites of competitors based on specific search phrases.

I have installed CDSEOPRO and looks like I did the installation correctly. I seem to be able to do everything when logged in. However, after I change the status on CDSEO to "Enabled" under the settings, none of my links work. What did I need to change or add to get the links to work. Also, when I ftp in I do not actually see any of those new links. Perhaps it just redirects that I am not clear about and they don't actually exist?

Any special instructions on upgrading CDSEO Pro to the latest version? Just follow the install instructions and no need to worry that previous cdseo pro data is lost?
