I have a report for you.  On the site that you did for TonyS, I checked his Alexa  ranking on the 20th, the day you installed the mod. His ranking was 1023788. I just checked it a few minutes ago and the rank had moved to 771540.  That is an increase of over 300,000 places.  Not sure if it is from the mod or not but it was an interesting increase.

As a note of interest in following up on this, I just checked the Alexa stats for this site and it is now at  280,025.  Google also has it page ranked at 5 of 10.

Google now has 395 pages from this site in their database.  I would say that this was a very well spent sum of money to get these kinds of results.  I have spent much more than that on so called SEO companies that try to get you good placement!

 
Thanks a bunch Mark.
Spiders are going crazy eating up the pages!
We are already receving more visits (and sales!)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as is your tracking program

Thanks again

Hello,

Good question regarding differences from other mod_rewrite methods that have been discussed previously.

My SEO module is different in the following ways:

1) It uses two simple rewrite rules to handle product and category URLs. No complex syntax or issues with mismatches based on variable count, etc. A new perl module (ste_seo.pl) handles all the complexities of generating and handling the new-style URLs.

2) It uses the product or category name for each page title.

2) It includes the product or category name in the URL itself, and causes each product and category to appear as a top-level directory on the site.

3) We modify all the appropriate HTML elements so the new-style URLs are used on all your CCP-generated pages.

4) Our module dynamically populates your meta description tags on each product and category page.

5) And lastly, our module comes with full-service installation, my personal attention to your site, my advice on improving your SEO rankings, and free support if you have any questions or problems down the road.

I've put a lot of time into refining my SEO module to give the best possible results. It works extremely well, and there's no extra work required from the site owner.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help.

Well, I just purchased it, hopefully it will turn out nicely for my store.

My site was already a PR6, so I already had the Googlebot comming around on a regular basis, but I wanted some of my products to show up in more searches.

I had the SEO module installed earlier this month.  The links on my front page to parts of my store showed up in Google a few days later.  I added more product links to my site's front page and those products showed up in Google the next day.  Some are in the top 10.  My front page was already #1 for certain good keywords, but this helps my products get more exposure.

Maybe it is the skin on my store, but the product pages did not show up in Google till I linked them on my site's front page.

moneymancn - Why do you say Page Rank does not mean too much anymore?

Does this effect the new Froogle module that was released? I already purchased your module and want to know what issues might arrise with this new module?

Will I still need to submit my site to all the major search engines, either via `do it yourself` or a professional company, or will this module provide this for me.

You will still need to do the manual labor.  This module just makes the pages of the cart appear search engine friendly.

Hi

I have the SEO Module installed and I think its great.

Just one thing though!

Instead of getting:
Home Page->Category->Sub Category->Product List->Product Detail

I get:
Home Page->Category
Home Page->Sub Category
Home Page->Product List
Home Page->Product Detail

I've been told this is to do with the module, is there anyway for me to get the full breadcrumb navigation?

Thanks

Hi All,

As far as increased traffic I'll leave that for the users to comment on. We've had a lot of great feedback from users.

Regarding the breadcrumb navigation, the SEO module does change the way that works. The product and category pages will have

Home > Widget Model #345

Instead of the normal:

Home > Widgets > Widget Model #345

This is a semi-intentional side effect of simplifying the URL structure and may improve search engine rank because search engines often rank deeply nested pages lower than top-level pages (this is certainly true of directories, but whether or not the search engines will pay attention to the breadcrumbs is speculative).

Mark

Yes, I did read it. Did I misunderstand it?

Just went live with the seo mod/product index this week so it's too early to report an increase in traffic, I  report that last night googlebot crawled over 250 category and product pages out of 300 or so.  That's a healthy crawl!  Whether or not the pages rank well is more or less up to how well page titles & content are crafted - this mod does all it can be expected to do:  gets dynamic ccp51 pages crawled as if they were static, top-level pages.  A BIG thumbs up!

Anyone noticed any changes to Web Site Traffic following the upgrade yet?

Why do you think they call me useless? I only read the first page of replies and then saw the second one... Bugger. Dont sleep at you machine!
