Default Re: HTML static pages and SEO

Now I find out from help desk that the embedded static page titles are auto-generated.

Yes and no... yes, they are made by the cart, but you can name them anything you want... AND if you use a mod such as:

http://www.websitecm.com/x-cart-mods/cdseo-links-for-static-embedded-pages.html

You then can have pseudo static naming, but use the static embedded pages. For example, my help files are named:

http://www.domain.com/help/filename.html
http://www.domain.com/help/filename2.html
http://www.domain.com/help/filename3.html

etc.

BTW, your static embedded pages are probably in:

/skin1/pages/US/page-title.html

If your SE ranking is strong, you probably will want to use 301 redirects once your new site goes live (from the old path to the new one). You can even get creative using mod_rewrite, and have an entire group of files automatically 301'd to your "new" site... use some kind of grep to trap for the file name and redirect to the appropriate new path...

You following? Check out the CDSEO mods from WebsiteCM.. they may be what you're looking for.
