HaCos Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hi everyone, i am preparing a migration to prestashop and i am inspecting several things before i start. One of my main concerns is SEO. I mentioned that with layered navigation its easy to generate duplicated pages, for example : first page: http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/3-women#/categories-tops second page: http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/4-tops Wouldnt is be more proper when we are in first page and we select subcategory tops, to be redirected to the second page?

Regards, C Maybe some thinks that anyhtings thats after the # is just a parameter/fiter for google so there is no point to index it.. What if we want some attributes (eg Manufacturers) in combination in categorie names to be indexed? An example would be the following url, that i will need to be indexable. http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/4-tops#/manufacturer-fashion_manufacturer Has anyone faced & resolved similar issue ?

NemoPS Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 My SEO booster module has a canonical tag feature (the only working one, so I was told), if you want to check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaCos Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 My SEO booster module has a canonical tag feature (the only working one, so I was told), if you want to check it out Hi Nemo, I saw your module but i dont really see how it can resolve my issue. Does your module interact with layered navigation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 no, but it creates the canonical tag to avoid duplicates due to layered navigation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaCos Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) no, but it creates the canonical tag to avoid duplicates due to layered navigation Thats a solution but not the best one. It doenst take any advantage of layered nav for SEO. We need a module or a way when we view a category and we will be able to select which attributes / features (eg manufacturers) should generate an indexable urls (without #). For example, if we wish to index manufacturer combined to categories, we should get a url like http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/3-women/manufacturer-fashion_manufacturer instead of http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/3-women#/manufacturer-fashion_manufacturer [ which right now redirects to http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/3-women?selected_filters=manufacturer-fashion_manufacturer ] Do you know any module / plugin or anyway we could get that done? Maybe you could implement such a feature in you module ? ps price ranges & other meaningless attributes that shouldnt be indexed will be resolved by the canonical url . edit: In case my way to explain my view doesnt make sence above, i found a module that does exactly what i look for, but unfortunately is for magento and not for prestashop Edited July 9, 2014 by HaCos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaCos Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 There are 2 options in layered navgiation that says: - Allow indexing robots (Google, Yahoo!, Bing, etc.) to use the Manufacturer filter - Allow indexing robots (Google, Yahoo!, Bing, etc.) to use the Category filter Does this really works? I mean since all the urls tha are generated via layered nav use # how do we expect to be indexed and count in SEO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
