SEO for New Magento Site??!?

[Marcus_Miller]

Hey, I would not make any assumptions that Google can cope with anything like this and I would really want a canonical tag in place for those product pages for starters.

The sidebar issue sounds fishy, surely, you should be able to show links to anything you want anywhere. This sounds more an issue the developers are having with the myriad complexities of magento than anything else.

Given the industry you are in (pharmaceuticals / viagra etc) I would want to play this squeaky clean and get all my on-page-SEO ducks in a row.

Really, I can give you general SEO advice but am no Magento SEO so can't really comment on the other aspects (sorry).

Any Magento SEO guru's here?

Thanks Marcus,

Have been on to the dev guys re: Rel canonical.. It looks like Magento does have a config setting fro that which they missed. They are adamant about the navigation issue though which is a real bummer....although i would agree that it sounds more like they don't know how to do it.

Cheers

Sorry Marcus, my account has been hacked. I did not write this.

I would certainly not do such a thing.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hi Ethan,

Thanks for that. That looks pretty comprehensive. Have you implemented the Yoast modules? Has it had any decent impact?

Cheers
