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

My issue has been going on from June this year. CDSEO Links, the version before Pro, breaks the customer reviews. Jon states that he has not received my 5 replies to the helpdesk since June. I gave up trying to get him to fix CDSEO Links, so I decided to avoid the hassle and make it easier for him by dumping the bugged CDSEO Links and upgrading instead to CDSEO Pro.

I have written to Jon saying that we will pay the $339 to upgrade each site to the Pro version, but no response at all. I guess he is just not interested or has extremely poor customer service.

I am seriously considering moving away from xcart to another cart where the add on suppliers are more reliable. This is a joke.

How many more chances am I supposed to give him? All I want is an SEO solution that doesn't break a function of xcart. Is it really that hard?

oh well, time to start looking for a replacement cart I guess.

Figure out where the problem is: Apache or DB, cpu or memory.
for mem optimization run tuning-primer
8G is enough for one XC

Jon is good on support, I agree, but his ticket system sucks. I am not getting any email notifications myself.

I am frequently disconnected from my site for periods of around 30 minutes.

My webhost tells me that I have too many connections, around 300. I only have two or three web sessions open as well as one ftp session.

Is it possible that CDSEO is contributing to this problem of too many connections?

Thanks, Steve.

Is this still a supported add on? No response through the support system on websitecm.

To all of you that encounter performance problems and have sites with lots of categories and products.

Whenever I (rarely) send Jon a ticket, I always get a reasonably timely answer. But that's not the reason for my post though. The reason is the following - I also had an issue where a site of mine (with lots of categories) took lots and lots of CPU, and since the CPU report mentioned cdseo, I thought cdseopro was the culprit.

As it turned out, what Jon said is absolutely correct - cdseopro.php is showing as the URI component because it runs the majority of the x-cart pages , not necessarily because it is the culprit.

The guilty party in my case (and I believe in most of yours as well) is a section of code in the include/categories.php file. If you implement the code fix, I believe you will suddenly see a big difference. The code fix can be found in the first post of the thread http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=40093 under "Tracking down the bottleneck".

Good luck!

I have upgraded our server to PHP 5 an d now CDSEO is broken? Any ideas?

Hi all, as Carrie said previously we were in the process of building a new office and the building did not go as scheduled causing us to have to move into a temporary space and then now move again to the office, with the process and dealing with the building and paper work etc. our ability to keep up our support standards has been far below the high bar that we typically set for ourselves. We did also realize after a few phone calls from clients that we were having email issues with some clients but the problem did not seem to be consistent. Our server company made some changes and we are hoping the issue has since been fixed and have not since had any more reports of issues.

If for any reason you haven't received a response from me via email you can contact me on google chat at: jonwebsitecm or through MSN messenger at public@websitecm.com.

Would this still do the job or is there a specific way of listing them?

Typically you want to list keywords comma separated: keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3 ... etc.

Keywords are far less needed than descriptions though so put your focus on page titles and meta descriptions first and foremost.

Thanks.

It costs us money to consistently develop the software to not only keep it compatible but also add new features. The upgrade cost is currently $35.00 for 3 months of upgrades.
