How do I cure 'overly dynamic' url's on an e-commerce website?

[lindsayjhopkins]

I've just launched an e-commerce website selling hosiery and have received aa report from SEO Moz regarding overly dynamic URL's.

How do I resolve this issue - in words of one syllable please, I'm new to SEO!

Here are three exapmles of over 120:

http://www.yosassy.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_tag=&page=1&product_id=57

Thank you.

Hi Lindsay,

Your URLs are quite dynamic. What you need (from my point of view) is to have shorter and user friendlier URL system which describe the pages.

In order to achieve this you will need an URL rewriting. (Now this depends on your Content Management System, some of them have it already implemented, just question of set-up, in others you need someone to make it for you).

I hope this helped,

Istvan

Hi,

From what I can tell, you are using OpenCart software.

If you go to Opencart.com, you can find a list of modules / extensions. There are thousands but if you search for 'SEO', several extensions are available that offer the ability for 'friendly urls' or 'perfect product urls'.

I'd have a good look at the ratings for each module before installing / purchasing any of them.
