Hdseo Xmod
wwwthreedogsportinggoods.com
I've installed the XMOD, enabled everything, loaded the hdseo table with the links, and updated the .htaccess file. I have a couple of questions.
1) When I click on Advanced Search from the home it the link is what I want. When I go back to the home page using the Home button and not the back button
a) it is apparent the home page is not converted. I don't know what to use as the original(default) url.
b) clicking Advanced Search again the link is no longer converted. Bottom line, if the user goes to a non-converted page the conversion quit working...why and how do I fix it?
2) How can I find out what all the other links (not categories or products) are so I can load the conversions?
Thanks
P.S. If you hit the website and it doesn't behave as I've described drop me a line. I may be in the middle of "tweaking" it as I continue to search for the answers.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
a) It's because your advanced search link is httpS and not http. Any time the site switches from secure to the non-secure URL, or visa-versa, the SEO format of links is not used.
Several of the links at the top left of your site are secure when they don't really need to be (Photo Gallery, Contact and Shopping Cart). I suspect you may have them hard coded in your skin since CCP wouldn't be constructing the links that way.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
Thanks Dave. I'll check the coding.
How do I get a list of all of the various "housekeeping" links such as the cart, etc. I found ecom-prodsearch/COREseo.html (Advanced_Product_Search) when it through an error and displayed the link but that's not a really too good a way to do it.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
SEO is really meant for product and categories. It makes little sense to bother doing anything with the other links since most bots wouldn't follow them anyway and they aren't going to help SEO. There isn't a list of the other links that I'm aware of.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
That makes sense.
Where is link_home defined? It appears that's how the https is being introduced and I can't find where I changed it.
The following line in skin.php
<td id="skin_ht_lcol">
<a href="<?php print $link_home; ?>" title="Home"><img src="skins/3DogSG/media/Shipping Label Color.png" alt="Home" width="300" height="100" /></a>
</td>
is translated to
<a href="https://www.threedogsportinggoods.com/index.php?app=cms&ns=display&ref=splash&sid=9bv1uy6cr0d2x38fpv72yzk4ywru0ekw&portrelay=1" title="Home"><img src="skins/3DogSG/media/Shipping Label Color.png" alt="Home" width="300" height="100" /></a>

Re: Hdseo Xmod
It comes from skinfunc.php but unless you have your non-secure URL set to httpS it shouldn't be coming out as httpS.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
You are correct (as usual). When I run the installer to fix it however, I get the follower error because of the licensing.
The central server did not approve the request submitted. The server replied with this message: An error was encountered: The application URL used to submit this request does not match the application URL on record for the license key submitted. The application URL on record appears to be currently active. Please contact Kryptronic at kryptronic.com to resolve this issue.
Can you make the change at your end to drop the https from the non-secured site please?
Thanks

Re: Hdseo Xmod
There shouldn't be an issue changing the URL from httpS to simply http as long as the rest of the URL remains the same. If push comes to shove you may change it manually by editing config.php in the CCP private directory.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
You must have moved your installation or something for that to be happening.

Will someone please look at this problem. It happened before when I changed the unsecure url to https. This time I changed it back to http and once again I cannot administer my site. It's been like that since last weekend. To confirm it was the change I changed config.php to use https and I was able to administer the site. I changed it back and the error returned.

Re: Hdseo Xmod
Will you please make the change in my account so I can set my non-secure url to http. Until you do, I have to leave it as https or I can't administer the site. That means all of the work I have done for SEO and the cost of the XMOD is wasted.
