X-Cart SEO Tip - Customize and shorten your x-cart page titles!

Page titles are arguably the single most important aspect of SEO. This is problematic for x-cart store owners who want their x-cart's to rank well in search engines, because X-Cart's default page titles are terrible for SEO. Default page titles have the following SEO issues:

1. The company name is put first in the title while the relevant keywords last.
2. Titles are over-populated with irrelevant information including many levels of sub-categories when applicable.
3. Page titles are far too long. Google only shows 66 characters on its search results page, while Yahoo allows 120 and MSN displays up to 70. If your page title is in the format "Your Company Name - Category Name - Product" and "Your Company Name - Category Name" is longer than the displayed allowance, then every product in that category is going to display the same page title!

The solution is simple. Our CDSEO Pro X-Cart SEO Solution allows you to entirely customize your product, category, manufacturer, and page titles (among other aspects of search engine optimization). Using the x-cart module you can create concise, keyword rich page titles.
