Increase sales by increasing your indexing and improving your rankings in search engines such such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVist, Lycos, and ANY other search engine that crawls sites such as yours!

The Search Engine Promotion Tool for LaGarde's StoreFront 5.0 (a.k.a the SEOptimizer) enables merchants to overcome one of the great problems of indexing a database-driven website: namely page links with query strings (such as www.MyDomain.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=1001001001). Search engine robots see these query strings and won't index all that could be indexed on your site. The Search Engine Promotion Tool will get your all of your category, manufacturer, and individual product pages indexed by giving the search engine robots what they want to find -- clean links to page contents. 

To get a sense of what we mean here, try a search on Google: [site:www.YourDomain.com www.YourDomain.com] where "YourDomain.com" is your actual domain name. This will show you how many pages Googel has indexed on your site. How many of your products do you see indexed here? How many pages are indexed here compared to the number of categories, manufacturers, and products your have in your database?

The SEOptimizer will give you as many indexed pages as your have categories, manufacturers, and products. The larger your product catalog, the greater the impact the Search Engine Promotion Tool  will have on your indexing, traffic, and rankings.

Testimonial: What the SEOptimizer did for BarParts.com

 

I just have one complaint about your optimizer... You make my Mondays so busy! :) Your mod has increased traffic and orders dramatically! I am spreading the word to anyone that I think would be interested. -Russ Miller  DiscFly.com

The SEOptimizer is not a spoofing technique. Frankly, it gives the search engines EXACTLY what they want -- the ability to search and deliver the best content customers are searching for. That is, without SEOptimizer, the search engines don't know much about all of the fabulous products you have to offer!

The SEOptimizer will get your product catalog indexed. How well you rank depends on your ability to match up keyword research with your indexable content. The SEOptimizer provides tools, instruction, and advise on how to maximize your ranks along with your indexing.

Correct installation of SEOptimizer also provides the following added value services:

• Presentation of your product pages with the product name in the page title -- excellent for search engine indexing!

• Presentation of your product names in the plural -- excellent for search engine indexing!

• Generation of "This_Product.HTML" links and "This Product" image alt tags from your category search results pages -- excellent for search engine indexing!

• Generation of a comprehensive listing of all active categories and products on a Products_Catalog.asp page -- an easy page to get ALL of your category and product pages indexed as if you had a static HTML page for each!

• Generation of a footer menu with optimized links to all of your categories -- crucial for your link popularity relevancy. 

• Fully loaded by SF 5  AE's subcategory "refine search" optimization -- even more links for robots to crawl!

• Easy upgrade tool for either Access or MS SQL databases -- just one click!

• A quick-list of your products with links to search Google so you can see where your product pages are ranking. Automated tools such as WebPostitions Gold are banned on Google and risk you getting your site indexing in some real trouble. If you are not trying to spamdex, the manual approach is best; frankly, you really should have a clear picture of what is actually indexed on your site and how that looks to end users.

• An optional Statistics Tracker -- this is a tool in itself! 
  This tool:

  • Enables you to track the path of each visitor and web crawler through your site! -- a serious conversion marketing tool!

  • Tracks shoppers through the entire checkout path -- even if you are using a shared SSL!

  • Provides a vantage point through which you can see that SEOptimizer really works! -- watch search engines crawl your site . . . . then watch shoppers return through the very links SEOptomizer generated.

  • See just what search engines, affiliates, satellite sites, and other websites are clicking through to yours -- and see what those visitor actually do on your site!

  • See just what keywords folks are using when they use search engines --  a crucial tool in focusing your search engine submissions.

  • This component is still experimental. It is free, and so is support on it.

• All of your links to searches and product pages still work just as before (but with some added benefits listed above)!
