How OXID Handles Duplicate SEO URLs 0

Posted on April 06, 2011 by Ashant_Chalasani

As you might know, the OXID eShop system is highly search engine friendly (SEF), offering as one of the favorite features the ability to construct keyword-rich URLs,

ex. http://www.myshop.de/category-one/very-good-product.html

The URLs can be constructed by hand, manually, or alternatively will be generated by the system based on the title of the product and to which category it belongs.

Due to the automatic generation based on product category and title, it is possible that if 2 or more products in the same category could be assigned to the same URL, which obviously wouldn’t work.  OXID mitigates this problem by allowing for a generic keyword to be appended in the end of the URL, followed by a numeric value.

Avoiding Duplicate OXID SEO URLsThe generic keyword can be setup under Master Settings > Core Settings > SEO > SEO Suffix for differing Similar SEO URLs.

Then, in the case of a conflict, the URLs would look like:

http://www.myshop.de/category-one/very-good-product-GENERIC_KW-01.html

http://www.myshop.de/category-one/very-good-product-GENERIC_KW-02.html

Changing Default Meta-Keywords and Meta-Descriptions 2

Before taking an OXID shop live online, it is necessary to ensure that the correct meta-keywords and meta-description pertaining to your shops and products appear in the <head> section of the HTML pages of your shop.  Otherwise the Google & Co. will index only the default values pertaining to the OXID demo-data.

In order to remove the demo-keywords and add new ones, follow Customer Info > CMS-Pages > “META description Start page” and “META keywords start page”.

For influencing SEO keywords at the category and product level, please read this post: Meta Descriptions and Keywords for OXID SEO.
