Shouldn't CDSEO Pro over-ride the X-Cart URL so that this link includes the CDSEO URL?

Glad you got that figured out

last thursday but still not getting the download yet, also i installed xcms, but the product detail page showed: Fatal error: Call to undefined function x_load() in /home/iphoneca/public_html/product.php on line 64, do you know what made this error, mine is the newest version 4.5.5,thanks

Hi Albert,

Did you get the downloads ok? x_load() is a native x-cart function required for most functionality so really shouldn't be erroring. You'll want to recheck your installation and see if a mistake was made.

I was thinking of two solutions.Say the categorie is table lamps. Which solution would you use for seo ?

ex. www.mysite.com/table-lamps-1.html

or www.mysite.com/news/table-lamps.html

Thanks in adavnce for your advice.

Hi Anty,

I would be more descriptive in your url and page title. The keyword "table lamps" is very generic. I would attempt to target more long-tail keywords which will also help you rank for "table lamps" i.e. "How to choose the right table lamps" Use Googles keyword suggestion tool https://adwords.google.ca/o/KeywordTool to find the right phrase based on the topic of your article.

Can't I just disable them? Then use the license on the other site? Kinda lost here and would like some advice on what to do...

xCMS is disabled, CDSEO is disabled, but I added some code to make it constantly enabled as there was a bug/conflict with it and I can't recall what it was.

Please let me know asap so I can get this done.

To uninstall you perform the installation instructions in reverse to remove the file changes, and delete the files and associated database tables which are prefixed in the database with wcm_

The change to keep it enabled is likely in your auth.php file.

Now I have noticed that google is indexing it three times with different urls. Infact this page isn't doing very good in ranking. Could it be that google is considering this duplicate content ?? I think it is. Well if it is I think this should be fixed in the cdseo software.But maybe I'm wrong. Be waiting for Jons comment. Thanks

If changing the urls in CDSEO 301 redirects will be in place but it usually takes Google a bit to sort them out. You can verify 301 redirects in place by running the old urls through http://www.web-sniffer.net/

Hi Jon,
thanks for your answer. But, not wanting to use long-tail which would you choose.

www.mysite.com/table-lamps-1.html
or
www.mysite.com/news/table-lamps.html

The thing is that when i change url I don't want it to 301 redirect but only change it so that google would recognize it as a completely new,different page.I believe that if I change an url for the same page 5 times and so there will be 5 301s, i don't think that would be any good for seo.I checked an url I changed two years ago, and its still around. Why's that ?

Just a little hint Anty, listen to Jon what he said regarding the long tail keywords, urls like you mentioned above www.mysite.com/news/table-lamps.html - isn't that good unless you're talking about table lamps in gerenal try to go for www.mysite.com/news/how-to-choose-the-perfect-table-lamps.html

Although it's longer it's better for Google IMO.

Force trailing slashes is raising a 301 according to the HTTP response header, which is great, but the destination page is cdseopro.php - the 404 error page.

Therefore, all URLs without the trailing slash will be redirected to the same page leading to Duplicate Title, Description and Content errors!

# WCM - Force trailing slashes
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/[^\.]+[^/]$
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=301,L]
# / WCM - Force trailing slashes

Any suggestions please?

Jon posted a sweet mod that would use the additional page title and description from CDSEO Pro for subcategory pages: http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=338628&postcount=451

Has anyone developed similar for the manufacturer pages?
