Best X-Cart SEO Solutions / Modules?
-
We recently acquired an e-commerce client that uses X-Cart. We have no previous experience with this platform and it's hard to find any good / helpful info regarding SEO functionality online.
Right now I need to figure out how to handle mass redirects of 404 errors, friendlier URLs, resolving duplicate content, XML sitemap generation, robots.txt generation. The functionality built into the platform so far is terrible and all of the modules are pricey.
Any recommendations, general or specific, would be insanely helpful if anybody out there has experience with this particular platform.
Thanks!

Couldn't agree more Mark. SEO plugins just help with the mass production of handling certain tasks, but it doesn't matter if you are lacking development support.

Thanks Scott. This is what I've been seeing as well.

This is the SEO solution I've been using on a site and it's been pretty good. Just make sure you have good site developers handling and maintaining the site - if the site goes down or becomes very slow and unresponsive, no SEO plugin is going to help you.

This one seems to be talked about a lot: http://www.websitecm.com/x-cart-mods/cdseo-pro-x-cart-seo.html

What platform is best for a searchable online library platform for articles, videos and audio?
I have a client who needs an online library for articles, PDFs, videos, and audio. Here are some of the criteria I need met: needs to be searchable needs to be able to accept guest blogging needs to be able to accept user feedback on each item all the items are free. needs to be able to filter results within search results. needs to be able to handle over 10,000 documents/articles that will be put on the site. content needs to be tagged with one or more tags for improved searching. I am familiar with WordPress but wasn't sure that was the best solution for a more advanced library. Any suggestions on other platforms that will work for this application?

How much dev knowledge as an seo do I need to know in order to make small changes on websites?
Hi mozzers I am considering learning some dev just to be able to make minor changes on websites. I love seo but will never want to be a programmer. I get sometimes frustrated that I have to request my dev colleague to make minor changes such as adding a small piece of codes to a website for verification purposes or adding rich snippet or modifying the ga code to get more out of it. I know some HTML and understands the core elements and attributes. My first question would be: what should I learn without learning A-Z of programming? My guess would be some php and? My second question: based on your answer where can I learn about these programs? Any interactive learning services such as team treehouse ? Any online courses? Thanks!

Listing multiple locations on Facebook for local business and top platforms for local SEO
What is the easiest way to register multiple locations for a business to Facebook local? I'm sure we've all had the challenge of multiple local business listings for a client. The set up is just busy work, but the verification can be an issue with some busier or less organized locations. I'm interested to see if anyone has a more eloquent solution to achieve this. I also have a second question as far as local listings go - how would you rank the most influential local listing platforms? Thanks, Bill

Good technical SEO resources for a newly hired front end dev who has no SEO experience
I am a SEO/product manager for a big online publisher. I work with several front end developers who have great technical and design skills, but zero SEO or social media knowledge. I end up answering a lot of SEO 101 questions and/or making them redo things with SEO and social media in mind. What are some good resources for them? I was already going to send them these SEOmoz links. http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/basics-of-search-engine-friendly-design-and-development http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/how-usability-experience-and-content-affect-search-engine-rankings Can anyone recommend other, more thorough, more technical reading and reference materials (print or online)?
