Guest Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi, I hope there is someone out there who can help. A while ago we bought an ecommerce solution using OSCommerce as the cart software. However, no matter how hard we try, we cannot get the site listed in google ( on ANY PAGE !!! ) The rankings are generally very poor in everything else to. Many people have said that OSC was very poor at this but ohers seem to disagree. The company who we purchased from is really not interested and we would really like to expand the site adding extra pages, blogs, reports etc etc. we have tried submitting every month to search engines backlinks to the site etc etc Any help would ge greatly appreciated, as very are experts at what we sell.....we would just like to let everyone else know !!! www.thebaitman.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Enter this into google search site:www.thebaitman.co.uk and you will see that your site is listed already. Osc is perfectly fine for SEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You might want to review site security. Your images folder has a hack index.html file in it... :o If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

NodsDorf Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 SEO is really an art. I just tested one of your products "Carp Runner Fishing Reel HP840" and it was found on google as rank 3. (not bad) Granted that is very specific keywords. So I ran some of your categories for you, results are below. (Hopefully the image Posts okay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NodsDorf Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Also I should point out. I was using Google.com not Google.co.uk and that google often has many severs for each of their URLs, so results tend to vary based on what server you hit and at what time of day you are looking. Either way it looks like you are getting ranks, and if you haven't already signed up for google webmasters / analytics you should. Knowing where people are finding your site, and who is linking to you is very beneficial. Good Luck. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
