META Roboto Addon - SEO Management for Meta Robots Tags

[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][font=facitweb, sans-serif][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Good Morning,[/font]



[font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]I'm pleased to announce that we have completed and successfully tested the CS-Cart META Roboto addon that will provide the SEO conscious Shop Owner with improved control over the way search engines interpret and interact with your pages, categories, and products.[/font][/font][/font][/color]



This addon is completely hook based, however the hook base in the admin area is not comprehensive so there are 4 core files that have a hookable block of code added to them. While these are not likely to change in the CSC v3.0 trunk we will supply these updated files if an upgrade impacts performance.



[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Pricing will be set from $15.00 USD[/font][/color]

[font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][color=#282828]- Block Locations (serve as defaults)[/color][/font]

  • Pages
  • Categories
  • Products



    The Pages, Categories and Products meta robots tags will override any block location meta robot tag if they are present.

Note: This addon will make changes to your database, so it is recommended that you perform a database backup prior to installing the addon

One area I think falls down drastically in CS-Cart is product filters. The ability to add meta robots tags to product filter pages would be excellent, having to hack the seo func.php every upgrade is becoming quite cumbersome.

I'll give it a look and see what I can do with it

Regarding Meta keywords, Google is now not giving any credit for meta keywords so it is not to be fine to use meta keywords now a days.



I want to know what about default cs-cart meta description, is this different than your features and what is meta robot and for what to be use ?

I look forward to your findings, it's about time CS-Cart addresses the multiple SEO issues with the cart. Out of box, I'd rate CS-Cart around average in the ecommerce world.

Meta keywords have been trash for many years now, this isn't any recent development.



The 'meta robots' tag allows you to specify follow/nofollow and index/noindex.

[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]You were asking about the Yoast Metarobots addon for Magento, this is the CS-Cart equivalent of that.[/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]It will allow you to customize individual pages, products and categories through the manage screen for those particular content areas and you can you use the Blocks->Locations Settings to set noindex, nofollow for search pages, order pages, checkout pages and so on.[/font][/color]

So will this also block login page urls ?



I am actually scared of using this addon because due to core files and db changes. I am using customized skin, will this give problem ?

Yes it can be used to block login page URLs in the Blocks → Auth location.



The changes to the core files are actually only adding 1 line of code to 4 files to create a template hook for the addon. It's a simple change and these are on the admin side of template, so I suspect that you will not be impacted to any measurable degree.

Updated to support CS-Cart 4.
