      Their permalink structure is awful for SEO.  These pages provide very little use for search engines, and should probably be set to "noindex".

      As Charles pointed out, Joomla! is not a great platform for a heavy eCommerce site like this.  I would also suggest Magento (although with it's advantages comes disadvantages - for one it's a processing beast and you'll likely need to upgrade to a better hosting company).

            Should the Web company know what SH404sef is?

              I agree and that is a downer because then all of that content is no good for seo... Is there a quick way to assign those pages to "noindex"?

                  (On the link you sent me) I see the Mijo one which is free and the SH404SEF which is commercial.  Will the Mijo one accomplish the same thing?

                    yes, but they also have a commercial license version

                    In joomla - due to high customization and coding support - one prefers the version with enabled support

                      But the best solution is the SH404sef?  We will try this tomorrow and I will report back on how it works.  Do you have any other advice you can give?

                        • Hi Everybody. I have a large site that is made up of the main site then a large support site. The support site has a lot of overlapping content and similar titles. Would it be beneficial to separate the two? Thank you. All answers appreciated.
