Shopping cart software and seo

[webgator]

One of our clients wants to use Storefront 6.0 for their shopping cart system. I was wondering if anyone has had experience getting pages created this way spidered by the search engines. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I don't have any experience with Storefront. But what I usually do (when evaluating software) is look at their list of client websites using their software, try to get an idea of how many products are in each store, and then search google, fast, etc. for the number of pages each store has indexed in the engine.

We built static pages and used an "add to cart" button on the statice pages we wanted indexed. No problems and the site ranks extremely well.

Hi Webgator

We make a static page too in order for the engines and Google to see it and index it and it works fine for us.

We also found that just inserting an HTML text based menu at the bottom of the homepage helped most of our clients too, since it gives more "meat" to feed the little crawlers.

Dynamic pages are always a little trickier to work with but there seems to be a few techniques discussed in WW to help us out.

It works for our clients and thats what really matters the most.
