gdev Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Hi, I've been checking around in order to learn what ususally makes CMSses so SEO unfriendly. Before you know it your site will drop in the SERPS. This is due to the fact that some CMSses build content in a search engine unfriendly manner (like placing the content far from the body tags and placing double ID's in links a.s.o.). OScommerce is a standalone package wich some administrative features wich are limited to a shopping cart system. So in a sense this could be a limited CMS. *(but ofcourse only for the shopping cart) I would like to know if there are people out there with experience in trying to make their OSC site get a good search engine position, if they succeeded in that and what the difficult points in doing that were. There are some SEO friendly CMSses out there with an additional ecommerece functionality (such as typo3)... but sometimes a package such as typo3 can be overkill. That's why I would maybe want to give OSC a try for some concepts.. Hope that someone can give me some info on this . Gdev
ddp Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 The unmodified oscommerce packake is not too SE friendly. To make os commerce more search engine friendly several contributions (modifications) need to be installed. One to control the meta tags for the pages and products and there are other contributions to improve SE placement. Once these modifacations are done placement in SE can be quite good. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?
