SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of modifying a website and links coming to a website in order to improve placement in search engines.

Shopp Plugin SEO

I am building a store using the Shopp plugin, and I noticed that there are possibilities for duplicate content issues:

  • A product can be accessed both by /shop/{productID} and /shop/{product-slug}
  • A tag can be accessed using /shop/?shopp_tag={tag-uri} and /shop/tag/{tag-slug}

November 13, 2008
