Problem with the SEO addon

what kind of SEO add on is this with the version 2.00000000000000



all my pages from google started going down. Google can not even find the pages. they come back as not found even the page is there.

we have lost over 5000 pages in one week. they are individuaL PRODUCT PAGES.



there must be something with the new version, i have no idea what…



google has a new future called fetch url. on the websmaster tool it says that sitemap has errors and can not find links, if i put the same link on the address bar and hit enter, it opens up the page fine. so how can it be 404 error page on google.



there must be something on the software (CS-CART) that blocks the google robot or something.

PLEASE HELP!!!

got examples?

is valid…



Looks like everything google is valid,

i know they are valid. but under google it says not found. and when i check the same url on webmaster tools/ lab section under fetch googlebot… it brings up as not found 404.

isnt that strange?



we have 9 sitelinks under google if you typed in silverbestbuy or some of our keywords. but now none of the sitelinks appear either.

i think its because of those 404 pages.

???

instead of running seo addon i tried now with gsitecrawler and amazing!!!

it only finds tag pages, usual custom pages. (contact us, about us etc…)

but none of the category and product pages.

something is definatelly wrong.



if any one is had the same problem, please let me know guys.

also i got this error started from the 2.0.9 so if none of you guys have not noticed this problem i am sure you will have it soon.



since i update all the time perfectly and the site works perfect everytime i upgrade without having any single problem, this is the first.



try your site product link (.html one please) under webmaster tool, labs / Fetch as Googlebot

try your product url there and see the result.



if your result is fine then please let me know. if not then we will all be having the same problem and that means all our indexed pages will go down and that means business will go down.



i am running V 2.10

The same problem. Site completely out of search index now. From 600 visitors to 1.



Please look at your server logs and check for 404.


View a Web Page as ‘Googlebot’



Put your URL and check. :evil:

Thanks for sharing that link. I couldn’t find any sites running on 2.0.9 to test, but did try a 2.0.8 site. Something definitely broke with CS-Cart SEO in 2.0.10



is it maybe getting to the favicon and stopping because its not loaded properly in your website?

Wow, this is actually pretty interesting. I tried the googlebot thing with a link that I know works and all I got was a 404 error.



I also just tried google and my site hardly exists.



I sell TruVu aquariums so I searched:



saltwatertogo truvu



And I only got 1 result. I have like over a hundred truvu aquariums listed on my site and have had them on there for quite a while now. Almost all the aquariums have the word truvu in their meta keywords.



I would have expected my site to come up more than one time using the keywords above especially since they are pretty specific.



I don’t know if this has anything to do with the SEO thing, but if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. I would really like to get my site listed more especially for something as specific as this.



Brandon

We have the same problem on multiple 2.0+ sites, the links are valid but Google comes back as 404 not found, I have no idea what the issue is but it’s not helping sales at all, this is a serious issue and is no doubt CS-Cart related if it is happening on this many sites…

Has this been reported to the developers? I cound not find anything in the bug tracker.



Bob

I just posted the bug here:



[URL=“http://forum.cs-cart.com/vbugs.php?do=view&vbug_id=1476”]http://forum.cs-cart.com/vbugs.php?do=view&vbug_id=1476[/URL]



I’m sure it would be helpful if others posted there as well. Especially you guys that actually know what you’re talking about.

seo is important part about every internet shop

yes i asked cs cart for the issues but they still did not replied. i have told them the FTP info, so they can check the site but still no result. This is definately CS cart issues and worst thing have ever happened to me and i believe to all cs cart v. 2.10 users at this time of the year.



This is something to do with cache control i believe rather than a SEO issue. but who knows.

If someone has a solution please please please share with us.

we had over 35K pages indexed with google before switching to CS-Cart-

With 45,000 products on our website presently. Only 2200 pages are indexed with google- despite rich keywords, meta descriptions, search words, etc.

.

I’ve been watching this, waiting for google to index more pages, but without success…

We’ve submitted sitemaps created by a product called “unlimited sitemap generator” which we’ve always done which creates a XML sitemap… still, google is really ignoring our site… luckily we have a lot of repeat customers… but it is killing the new customer base.

I’ve also noticed a lot of people on the forum expressing frustration over their google indexing… and yes, with a new store it usually takes time for it to come back… From what I can tell, it aint happening at all.

I’ve been trying to be patient with this, but like others, really see this coming at a bad time during the busy holiday season when shoppers are really out looking for items. My patience is wearing really thin right now. I really dont want to go back to the old competitor cart, but I may be forced to soon. Conversion rates have sucked with the new cart.

Regarding the Google thing…See if you also notice this.

Go to your stats> general

Then in the list with the robots… click on the number of robots visits for a certain day, then click on the number next to that robot… especially google… Look at all the “Page not found” messages under the pages that the bot or search engine is hitting… while this might just be a cs cart reporting error, it makes you wonder.

Something is definitely not impressing the search engines with this cart…and it needs to be addressed soon, because this just isnt acceptable to be ignored by the search engines… it will make or break you.

I can confirm this also … my site has lost 3000 links in google since upgrade to 2.10





the fetch as google bot returns a success… however if you click the success link

and look at the html its actually getting a 404 not found page.





CS TEAM PLEASE FIX ASAP !

Confirmed - this may explain why I can’t get validation on my base uploads even though there are not errors.



I ran the URL fetching tool at google… the home site page is the ONLY page that comes up as okay - every other page comes up with the CS-Cart 404 using the SEO addon. This is entirely unacceptable.



Looking into it now. Our traffic has dropped to about 70% of what it was LAST FALL - which was already pretty low.
