♥altoid Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Apparently, over the years every time I reorganized my shop listings, such as changing or relocating categories, that caused issues with google and other search engines because there was no 301 redirects done for the changes. @@Gergely offered the beta version, which allowed me to identify redirect problems and change them to valid url with a proper 301 redirect. :thumbsup: I just updated to the new release. burt 1 Quote I am not a professional webmaster or PHP coder by background or training but I will try to help as best I can.

However when I set up an 410 server error for a deleted product, I am taken to a blank page, rather than a 410 error page with some sort of explanation for the human visitor. Checking logs, the correct 410 server error is generated, so that's a good thing. So for human visitors would not a error page with an explanation be better? I suppose another alternative would be to 301 redirect a deleted product to some other appropriate page on the website be it another product or even to a category. What are you thoughts?

♥altoid Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What will be with the human navigation on a blank page? Redirection would be better to another page. We can use messagestack to give some information for humans. I think in most cases a redirect to another page would work. In fact would that not be better for search engine SEO? A 301 vs say a 404 or 410? But for those instances where a product or category simply are no longer available in any form on a website, I'd think a message saying "Sorry but the page you are looking for is not available at [shop Name} Please feel free to view our other items. You may search here [searchbox for Shops Products and Categories}" Or something like that. :) Quote I am not a professional webmaster or PHP coder by background or training but I will try to help as best I can.

tgely Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Its not SEO question. First its business. The best for selleing if something has gone (410) than offer another alternatives.Say something like this with a redirection: Sorry but your requested url/product has gone away. See this alternative page. If you dont have alternatives than its a big problem. You probably lost money. After install URL redirection module to my website, I rebuild some important lost page to get back visitors and offer new alternatives with redirections. You could use the redirection module old url "frequently weight" to decide is it important or not. Secondly this is the SEO question. For alternative URLs building you could use advanced_search_result.php to offer more links. And would be good the messagestack to say something for humans.

♥altoid Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Here's an example of a 302 status for a product I once had in the shop. -p-526.html Looking through my database, I don't see that product ID, so I assume it's been deleted. In this case because I don't know what it was, I can't accurately redirect to another product or category.

tgely Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 redirection from software-c-222.html to /software-c-2.html doesnt work. Yes its true. /index.php/cPath/222 HTTP header response is 200 and say There are no products available in this category. so if you would like to do something with fake categories you should install a cpath validation mod like this https://github.com/Gergely/oscommerce2-addons/compare/cPath_validation or probably could help a redirection directly from the .htaccess See previous discussions http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/381443-google-duplicate-content-with-strange-cpath-variable-indexed/ gvv 1 Quote osCommerce based shop owner with minimal design and focused on background works.

I'm not sure the source but this particular shop goes back years online and I've changed categories locations etc. a lot so it's no surprise to me now how many bad urls exist out there for this shop. Not necessarily all google. Whatever is indexing some of these, has bad urls going back years. For example I discontinued a product line several years ago, and even now those urls are showing up in url redirects. I'm fixing them with the url redirect add on. Having the capability to do this with categories and products is a big deal to me so I'm glad you put this together. :thumbsup: One other note, for my situation I've found it much more convenient to manage many url redirect changes via phpMyAdmin via update queries.
