Exclusive New Feature (10-08-2012): Improvements on better pagination seo optimization.
From Google: Use rel="next" and rel="prev" links to indicate the relationship between component URLs. This markup provides a strong hint to Google that you would like us to treat these pages as a logical sequence, thus consolidating their linking properties and usually sending searchers to the first page.

New Features:

1. Now you can define your own canonical url for each product/category. This is very useful for stores with duplicated products/categories which are just different in variants like sizes, colors and etc. You can assign the main product/category url as canonical url to other variants thus you will not get penalty by search engines.

2. Now it adds "Page" and page number to the end of page title. This will solve "duplicate page titles" problem and make the page title more seo friednly.

3. If a category or product is disabled, you can define a custom url for 301 redirect to transfer the SEO juice to the new link. This is very useful for passing the old link SEO juice to the new link so your SEO rank will not be dropped

4. Bulk edit for category and product canonical url

5. By default, testimonial page is not indexable by search engines. Now our addon has solved this problem and allow search engine to index your valuable testimonial pages

6. Redirect 404 page to a custom url defined in the addon setting

7. Make promotion page indexable by search engines (by default cs-cart, it's not indexable)

Addon Description:
This is a must have addon for every CS-Cart store. This addon will add canocial url tag to each of CS-Cart homepage, category page, product page and cms page. It can effectively solve the problems caused by duplicate content and thus your website ranking will become much better after installing this addon.

This addon will also 301 redirect non-seo url to seo url. For example, www.site.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=83 will be redirected to www.site.com/makeup. This is a strong vote for your seo url thus it will help your ranking as well.

Plus, this addon will also eliminate your site duplicate meta description/keywords errors by adding page number at the end of meta description/keywords. You can see the specific problem here http://forum.cs-cart...ead.php?t=20793. Another benefit is it will use your category name as meta description/keywords if your meta description/keywords is empty.

Installation is easy. Upload the files, install the addon in admin and you're all set. No code editing. No core files changes.

We welcome any feature request and suggestions.

Thank you!

Louis

Good addon,



maybe you can add in the next version, the rel=“nofollow” for HTTPS connexion ?



when the robots crawls the page, and if you have "“Keep HTTPS connection once a secure page is visited”, the robots scan pages with http and https, it’s not good for SEO

Do this have a significant impact on search engine ranking? Across all major search engines?



thanks,

Glen

The answer is YES. I could say this addon has the most important impact on Search Engine Rankings. Duplicate content is a serious problem due to search engine penalty. It’s treated as errors to avoid when you’re doing SEO.



The most beautiful part of this addon is it also implements 301 redirect for non-seo urls which will make sure your most important seo url page get the best possible rank. Hope my answer helps.

Will i have to add some code to install this addon or only plug n play ?

I just installed this addon but when entering my shop, it gives me this error:





Fatal error: Call to undefined function smarty_modifier_fn_seo_is_indexed_page() in /home/…/var/compiled/customer/%%45^45E^45E480CD%%index.tpl.php on line 51



This depending on the page I’m trying to see, but the errors come, I think, from the compiled folder, wich I can’t delete any of the files inside, so, any clues on how to get this addon to work?



Thank you,

Tania

It works on the latest version of cs-cart.



Thanks.

may be how long this will take to reduce DC ?



How can i see the result ?

It will take search engine 1-4 weeks or longer to recognize the added canonical tag. This also depends on your site scale.



The most important result you can see is your ranking gets better and better. You can track this using Google Webmaster Tools.

Mine has to get better, it’s zero.
