Volusion store product pages will not index

[kerry0217]

Hello,

I have moved over to Volusion and was wondering if you guys know of any SEO practices that are Volusion specific. i have been working on this site now for 2 months and my impressions and rankings have dropped substantially

My 301 redirects where in place before I flipped over and my keywords / titles/ tags etc.. are in place. However i am still not making any progress in the engines. I have noticed that my products are not being indexed per Webmaster tools.

I have heard that volusion has something set up to where you must purchase their SEO package in order to rank.

I am really at my wits end and currently I thinking about taking a loss and reverting back to my old Shoppe Pro site.

Any help would be very appreciated

We use Volusion. The SEO delivery aspect of their software is excellent.

You do not have to purchase their SEO package to rank. I don't know where you heard that, but it is categorically false.

We closed one of our Volusion sites and redirected customers to our 2nd site. Everything has been fine in that regard.

There are currently many reasons to leave Volusion, but in my opinion SEO delivery is not one of them.

If you'd like to share links or a look under the hood of your store, feel free to pm me.

Hi,

I too have a volusion site, and have had my ups and downs with SEO. I was not as prepared with 301s when i switched over so i took a hit, but after 3 months went back to normal. I would say that volusion is great for seo, no need to purchase an additional package.

I recently took a gamble and gave all of my products unique URLs via unique "product name short" and i dropped 50% of my traffic, bad idea. After 8 weeks of lower traffic i am now going back to having the same product name short for all produtcs in a subcategory. That was my mistake not volusion.

I find that SEOMOZ + Volusion import/export is a pretty good combo to make sure that my site has all relevant info and is updated quickly.
