Hi,
I'm wondering if there's a "best shopping cart" to use with SEO. I want to make my individual product pages searchable. I know how to set up OScommerce, which works with static pages.
I'm wondering if there's an easier shopping cart that will still work well with SEO. I've got about 200 products to offer...
Thanks!

OS Commerce works well and it's fairly easy to get the pages indexed. Monster Commerce is also a good solution.

Unfortunately osCommerce is NOT search engine friendly in many ways.
It needs a bit of tweaking BEFORE you let search engines start indexing anything.

I have seen ZenCart recommended in a few places in recent months.
Another freebie.

What are the tweaks that OScommerce requires before indexing? Why is it required "BEFORE"?
Thanks!

A lot of the URLs are not search engine friendly:
- multiple parameters in dynamic URLs, Google doesn't like more than three.
- redundant "extra" parameters on some links making duplicate content.
- parameters in different order in some links making more duplicate content.
These need fixing before anything is indexed, as once a "wrong" URL is indexed it isn't so easy to get Google to unindex it.
If you also decide to rewrite all URLs so that they look like folder-based URLs then you need to make sure that none of the old-style URLs are already indexed, as that will be more duplicate content being indexed.
Some types of errors result in a 302 redirect to the error page, rather than a 404 error; and that will lead to any URL that produces such an error being indexed with the content of the error page - yet more duplicate content.
