Dave L Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yes to all. In terms of static pages you can create as many as you wish and link to them from your front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 You ca use PrestaShop CMS functions to manage your static pages. There is a powerful HTML editor available for you to create static pages and you can manage those page through Blockcms module to make it show on your server. All page will be automatically included your store site map. To manage pages/through CMS function Back office - Tools - CMS To access blockcms module Back office - modules - search "cms" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacio Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 How does it handle SEO on the Shopping Carts? I realize why my position in Google is sooo high is because of the product I put up are filed accordingly in the documents folder... like I haf folder called "leather" - and sub folder called "leather-belt" to find my belt product. Can Preshop settle this issue as well in the shopping cart if I want to move my products to the shopping carts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC2PS Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 If and when you move to Prestashop, remember to use 301 redirect (http://www.isitebuil...01-redirect.htm) preferably with .htaccess in order to maintain your Google ranking...otherwise you may lose the high rankings... Also have a look here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 how come no one reponse alrdy? Either those that have see your post don't know the answer or once it's off the first page posts can get overlooked. This is especially true on days that the forum is more active as the posts move down more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually not correct. If you were running a static site that might have been true. If files are placed in folders corresponding to URLs, that is considered good. However, it is a bit different for ecommerce, and generally for dynamic sites (e.g. you don't have a prepared html page for each product...instead, the product page is "assembled" on the fly from a number of components). Google recognizes that. One problem with what you want is that a single product can appear in multiple categories. Also, there may be multiple tags in each product. Don't worry about this specific issue. Google knows this very well (most sites out there are dynamic these days), and does not penalize sites for that. Have a look at the SEO guide I posted above. That being said, it can only be good for SEO if PS implement static caching http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSFV-102 as this will improve speed (and so better customer experience and more sales) and Google uses speed to determine search results rankings as well. If PS caches as static, then it could organize items the way you have suggested (well, not exactly www.shop.com/leader/leather-jacket but www.shop.com/products/leather-jacket) in the cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
