That's more of a mod into itself though we are working on some new features.

I have a licensed version of CDSEO Pro for mysite.com. Can I install CDSEO Pro in my beta setup until I switch it over to mysite.com? The reason I want to do this is so that as I install each product I can match the url from the active site. In this way when I switch everything will have correct urls when I take 4.3 live won't have to deal with hundreds of redirects.

Am I thining correctly with this since I am not planning on upgrading my 4.1.12 but rather building from scratch? There are many things that I am doing differently and it is easier to fix each item as I install them rather than trying to go through each item and make the changes.

A license for mysite.com will work on the beta.mysite.com subdomain without any license changes so you can install and move seamlessly. Keep in mind that x-cart 5 is due our in 2010.

Thanks for the info Jon. Yes I know v.5 is due in June 2010 so I figure that since it is so different than v.4 it will be Jan 2011 before it is safe for live use. 4.3 is not too different than 4.1.12 and gives me some of the features that I have been needing without dealing with several custom mods and AOM. Even with all the various upgrades in either of the versions, the most important to me is SEO. What CDSEO has done for me can not be replaced and I will stick with what I have before I loose the control that you have given me through your MOD. Oh and lets not forget the cron job site map feature. That alone saves me a ton of time and I no longer wake up in the middle of the night thinking "oh crud I spaced doing a site map this week. and submitting it."

R.E. v5 some people simply aren't aware so I try to ensure people make informed assessment which clearly you're doing. I always appreciate feedback and am thankful to be able to help

Dear Jon, I just bought one, I want to test at my another test domain, where can I change the domain name please?

What does second domain mean? Does it mean 1 set of CDSEO can be used under 2 websites?


Thanks.

With recent x-cart upgrades many of the features are included in the x-cart software.
What extra is this mod offers?

[sinobest]

The cart homepage jumps to home.php, I do not how to do, so I change.

I was wondering the same thing as mitash. CDSEO Pro is a great product. As I am building my new site I am wondering if it is still needed given x-carts new features. Anyone want to jump in on this?

[Jon]

Our take: CDSEO vs Clean Urls. We're also currently developing new features.

Jon, here is a feature request to consider that would further differentiate CDSEO from Clean URLs. I'm curious if you or others have any thoughts.

Back on 4.0.x, I wrote my own little tweak to DSEFU to do images SEO. It would take stock X-Cart Image URLs, say "www.domain.com/00013.jpg" and map those to "www.domain.com/Product-Name-00013.jpg"

I was ranking pretty high on images.google.com and got some decent traffic from it. Once I installed a thumbnail mod on 4.1.x, I wasn't able to use this feature, and I lost all that traffic

It would be great if CDSEO could enable some kind of image SEO with configurable rules. Some folks might already have their images named with SEO in mind; but for me they're not and I know this would make a difference for Google Image Search traffic.
