I think I know the difference.

To me that says NO REDIRECTS

Now the question, does Google Base drop you if it encounters a redirected page?

So do you turn off the redirects in the configuration of XC SEO?? Well now you will get hit with the Duplicate Content Penalty, that's how to lose Google ranking fast..


Now I'm also talking about a site already ranked. For new sites just starting out, well that is a different story.

No sorry I do not have any suggestions other than having X-Cart generate html pages itself so there would be no need to use rewrites or redirecting old content to the new rewrote urls.
