Changing Default Meta-Keywords and Meta-Descriptions

Posted on June 17, 2010 by Ashant_Chalasani lang

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.

Meta Descriptions and Keywords for SEO

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Ashant_Chalasani lang

OXID is an e-Commerce system that has been built with plenty of search-engine-friendly features in mind.  Meta-tag descriptions are a common method to influence the way search-engines catalog individual pages in web-sites.  There are 3 ways a shop-owner/admin can influence meta-tags of their product pages.

Meta-tags for Category Pages

It is possible to specify meta-tags to category-listing pages under the SEO tab of individual category-editing pages.

404 Not found oxseo.php

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Ashant_Chalasani

Short of bashing my head against the office wall upon being repeatedly confronted with a 404 Not Found error, I realized that I was using the wrong path for RewriteBase in .htaccess file.  The exact error was:

The requested URL /home/oxid/pubweb/4_2_0/oxseo.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny4 with Suhosin-Patch Server at 192.168.253.129 Port 80

If anyone faces this on your OXID installations, this could be your fix, too.

We were using:
RewriteBase /home/oxid/pubweb/4_2_0/

Instead we should have been using:
RewriteBase /oxid/

.. where the target URL is http://192.168.253.129/oxid/ (being used to put together a Debian 5.0 Lenny Virtual Machine for OXID 4.2)
