Hi Zane,

CDSEO ($149) is for products and categories.
CDSEO for Static Pages ($49) is an addon to the base CDSEO, if you use Static Embedded Pages on your site and want them to use CDSEO urls as well. This is an addon since not everyone uses or wants the functionality for static pages.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the Quick reply. My site is hosted wiith NetRegistry Australia. They dont have an appache server - but use Zeus instead. (Not going to pretend I know the difference).

I ran your test and the resilts returned.
Your host accepts ForceType but does not allow AcceptPathInfo.

Will your mod run on this server?

Most Zeus servers we've found not to be compatible, but you'll have to ask your host to see if it is supported.

Another answer -- from an owner's perspective:

I find my static page names to be VERY, VERY important for SEO, and simplicity for the user...

Isn't is nicer to see:

www.domain.com/help/shipping.html
www.domain.com/help/contactus.html
www.domain.com/help/store-locations.html

That's why the CDSEO for static embedded pages is important.

DSEFU does not run on NetRegistry either.

Well it looks like I am up a creek without a paddle. This may sound like a silly question, but I notice 4.1.8 generates some relativly friendly names for pages:

Would the only real benefit be that I wouldnt have had to generate the catalog manually. If i cant install a mod - any useful suggestions?

The html catalog generates some fine names, but you lose all dynamic functionality (mini-cart, login status) and you are forced to regenerate your cart daily so that your inventory is accurate. You will also have to write your own robots.txt files to ensure that you block the spiders from indexing the php files.

The HTML catalog also has duplicate content issues.

Interesting mod though I already rolled out something quite different for us that just uses mod_rewrite via MediaWiki style.
