Would someone who has been able to get all their product and category pages seo’d, WITHOUT the dynamic pages being indexed (the index.php?dispatch=, ?sort_by=, subcats=, etc.) please post a copy of their entire robots.txt file. The poster should preferably be experienced in SEO so they have “vut out” everything except the money pages thru the robots file (ie product and category pages only)
I’ve seen multiple posts in the forum, but they are either not complete (have some exclusions, but miss others) or are not well seo’d (they don’t exclude the dynamic pages or main site pages like contact and wishlist).
Having a complete example would help cs-cart users troubleshoot site crawl/index problems.
CS-Cart should really have provided a full SEO suite of functions in their updates tp cover alot of the URL structure problems, but since they didn’t robots.txt and htaccess are the only routes to solve canonical problems within the sites.

There is a planned item on the Roadmap:
[QUOTE]Improvement of SEO links generation logic[/QUOTE]
Vague enough to mean almost anything. If you have specific suggestions to improve the SEO tools provided with the cart, please post a suggestion in the UserVoice system so people can vote and add their comments:

We do much better where the developers respond to specific user requests than we do when they are left to their own decisions.
