creloaded SEO URL Optimization Pkg

[inetbiz]

Sometime for getting higher rank its better to optimize the URL. For creating optimal URL of the website, here are some few key points...
1) What is the age of domain? Try to get hosting on new domain.
2) Use website main keyword in the name of the file, It helps in increasing traffic
3)Do not use long name

As a certified ecommerce strategy consultant, I will strongly disagree with you, paulsimon.  Rigging file names was radically changed along with punishing content farms. Adsense keyword tool is a great resource to download spreadsheets as you name your products and build the product descriptions. Proper use of grammar outlines using headings II, III, IV And, grammar and reading level are important! Do not spam your keywords and sprinkle them in the beginning and the end. Use strong tags to emphasis those keywords.

Mostly 404s happen when Seo URL is turned on in Admin. Tried the testing code below with the greedy rule matches and get server error 500s!

To solve the 500 issue in admin pages only, edit your /admin/.htaccess with the following:

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine offPlease ask your hosting provider to paste the php error logs or add this to /public_html/.htaccess

Code: [Select]

# supress php errors
php_flag display_startup_errors off
php_flag display_errors off
php_flag html_errors off
php_value docref_root 0
php_value docref_ext 0

# enable PHP error logging. You could alter the path to a web accessible path & if you do, add the next section
php_flag  log_errors on
php_value error_log  /home/username/logsl/domain/PHP_errors.log or /var/www/vhosts/domain/private/PHP_errors.log

# general directive for setting php error level
php_value error_reporting <integer value>

# disable repeated error logging
php_flag ignore_repeated_errors on
php_flag ignore_repeated_source on

# prevent access to PHP error log
<FilesMatch "\.(PHP_errors.log|.htaccess)$">
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
 Satisfy All
</Files>
There are several common values used for “integer”, including:

• Complete error reporting — for complete PHP error logging, use an error-reporting integer value of “8191”, which will enable logging of everything except run-time notices.
• Zend error reporting — to record both fatal and non-fatal compile-time warnings generated by the Zend scripting engine, use an error-reporting integer value of “128”.
• Basic error reporting — to record run-time notices, compile-time parse errors, as well as run-time errors and warnings, use “8” for the error-reporting integer value.
• Minimal error reporting — to record only fatal run-time errors, use an error-reporting integer value of “1”, which will enable logging of unrecoverable errors.

Of course, there are many more error-reporting values to use, depending on your particular error-logging needs. For more information on logging PHP errors, refer to the Error Handling and Logging Functions page at php.net.

Interesting.  What version of Apache?  How is the open basedir configured??

I've not really had quite that experience with CRE's package.

Here's my experience with Cre loaded SEO URLs:

Fresh install CRE Loaded6 v6.2 B2B White Label[13.2 (SP1)]
Seo URLs v4.2

mod_rewrite is on and working on Apache.

Mostly 404s happen when Seo URL is turned on in Admin.
Tried the testing code below with the greedy rule matches and
get server error 500s!

So I'm running the stock .htaccess directives that came with
Cre Seo 4.2.

My /includes/configure.php has the http:// in front of the HTTP_SERVER and the full path for define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/andrea/public_html/');
Also tried all standard B2B templates and it doesn't work on any of them.

It's still not working.

I completely removed it from the file system and database with no problems, just no SEO URLs...

I have been around OSC and  it's clones since 2002. It always been a debate if SEO really works.

The answer is if Google is who you are using SEO for then, No optimizing your tags with a SEO programs does not help much. As meta tags are not weighted very much in the magical algorithm for placement. Other less  known search engines meta tags do weigh in a lot more.

Google doesn't use you tags, it extract items from the text on the page. So having Product and category
description longer then one line is a lot more help full, Or using different text for different products.
Many time I see the same descriptions used over and over with only one or two words changed.

Also having a lot of image coming soon's type image hurts your ranking, put up really images with different names.

There is a lot of other things which help as much or more:
 1. Doing site feeds/Google site maps.
 2. Get listed on dmoz.com, second most used site by search engines for links source
 3. Having valid html, and xhtml pages.
 4. Having a validated style sheet.
 5  Using H type tags more to indicate the priority of areas on a page.
 6. Make sure the meta tags you use are used on the page the are used on.
 7. Having all products enabled on your site.
 8. Not having broken links on your site.
 
 
 Most SEO now days are designed to assist with at least one of the items above  but not all of them.

Not really.  I myself don't hold much with SEO URL's of any type. 

They are not all that and a double mocha latte - and pose serious distractions from learning the essential nuts and bolts of content development for new shop keepers.

My experience has been that better content makes better sites with or without them.

Has anyone had any experience with Magic SEO URLs.  Information can be found at this link:  http://www.magic-seo-url.com/.  The output seems to look very legible to me, although I don't know if it means anything to a search engine.  I currently have CRE URLs, but I don't know that I am very impressed so far.  Maybe I have an older version??  I am not sure.  Is there a version number for them, similar to the main CRE releases?  It is not open source, and runs with Zend.  I am not sure if this is a problem or not.  If I works, then I would probably not be scared off by that fact.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The only package I have installed lately is SEO-G,  if you have many categories and products. It can load up the database making it rather large.

[David M. Graham]

This package sounds like it would involve substantial changes to the core code.

And frankly - I strongly doubt the worth of it.

I just purchased the SEO Optimization mod from magnetic one..

I Read in posts on CRE loaded site that the CRE loaded SEO optimization does not work well ?? What about magnetic ones SEO

[David M. Graham]

To which package do you refer?

The CRE Loaded package works well, by and large.  The team does maintain it, and will respond to bug reports..

It does focus on products and essential content pages, and requires an Apache web server, unlink the contribution by Chemo.  Chemo's contribution however, depends on community modification for fixes and updates and sometimes lags behind development on the Loaded itself.

Is anyone currently using the SEO URL optimization package?  Is anyone having any problems with it?  I am interested but don't want any functions in the cart to quick working?

Thanks for the help
