You don't have any meta-tags Ben!

:o

 

You need these three:

 

<meta name="keywords" content="blah,blah">
<meta name="description" content="more blah">
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

The last one is the one that tells the robots to traverse your site.

 

Here is a link describing the other two meta tags briefly:

 

Meta-tags

 

They go in the <head> section of the page.

 

You can just "hard code" them in.

 

There are contributions that adjust them with the content of the page.

 

I used one called Easy Meta-tags.

 

I don't have the link to it though.

:blush:

 

Without the keywords and content meta tags, the only way people will find your site on a search engine would be if they searched for your site name, I think.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Under Admin -> Sessions, set Prevent spider sessions to true.

 

This setting works with the spiders.txt file (check the contribution area for the latest 'cuz you probably don't have it) to stop search engine spiders from indexing your site with oscid's in the url.

 

You should add the meta tags to all the main php files.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Kinda going with web site optamiz. I thought we wanted spiders to list all our pages

 

for search engines ?

Oh you do!!!

 

And all this does is stop them from having the oscid in the url when they do index it.

 

If the oscid is in the url and people use it carts get switched, customer A sees customer B's info, all that bad stuff happens.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Oh.

 

I just checked.

 

Google is full of URL's from your site and a lot of them have the oscid in the url.

:o

 

In the admin set Recreate session to true.

 

This will help, too

No <head> means no meta-tags.

;)
