Reviews of Custom Dynamic Search Engine Optimization (CDSEO) Pro for X-Cart

Erwin Oldeman We do use CDSEO from the very first version, we use it on all our projects. The results are booming! In google we managed to have several nr 1 listings. Before CDSEO this was not possible. I think this CDSEO mod is the best SEO mod for x-cart. Websitecm did all installs for us and their support is perfect! If you need perfect SEO, then go for CDSEO. The only thing you have to do is do some keyword research and the CDSEO does the rest. Pieter Within 8 months we managed to get on top of all market competition regarding visitors - only through organic search results (with corresponding sales in the 6 figures range!). One of the most amazing things we noticed is that CDSEO's out of the box results generated -mind blowing- search engine saturation we didn't see before and we only had to tweak a few things later on. Success in search engines depends on many factors but CDSEO is in our experience a must have to get serious. peter ogilvie CDSEO - great for onsite SEO Remember though this is only half the battle, off site SEO needs to be sorted, Keywords need to be identified, meaningful content written and conversions achieved. I use CDSEO and I am happy wit hthe job it does - very happy www.cardremont.co.uk ------------- WebsiteCM Note: We now have xCMS (http://www.websitecm.com/x-cart-mods/xcms.html) available for off-site SEO assistance. Mark - www.iCompInkCartridges.co.uk The best mod we every installed, a must have mod for any X-Cart store. Seth What about the h1 tags fellas? It's not an SEO solution until you can handle the heading tags. -------------------- WebsiteCM Note: Dynamic insertion of h1 tags is not really practical, so we find the best way to accomplish this is to edit dialog.tpl to use tags for the heading. A Massey - HipHopTools.com CDSEO is the single most important mod we have ever purchased. If you take the time to properly research your keywords, optimize your SEO campaign and follow the SEO checklist as outlined by WebsiteCM you WILL see an improvement. If you are looking for X-Cart SEO modification you need Custom Dynamic Search Engine Optimization (CDSEO) Pro for X-Cart. Nat (Director) - Just X-Cart Australia Pty Ltd We trialed it first on our site www.justxcart.com.au/x-cart and got exceptional results within a very short period of time. Now we recommend it to all our clients! P. Kuntz - www.bambanian.nl This is a must have for anyone running a professional x-cart shop. Great product and easy to use. Barney Iott (GreenTent Web Design and Marketing) After doing my research and finally settling on WebsiteCM as the SEO product I would go with I couldn' be more pleased. Not only is the software programmed by an expert that must have actually studied usability but in my experience the actual technical support I received is off the charts!! I run my own server and we were having issues with the rewrite working correctly. Jon spent a lot of time trying to figure it out and finally emailed Helicon to get them involved. In the end, Jon got the mod working perfectly on our servers and was a total gentleman to boot. Even after several hours of his time, at no time did he throw up his hands and say, I give up. This is a must have software in my opinion and is worth every penny paid for it. I will be forcing all of my clients to buy this mod for new xcart installs because their success is very important to me and what this mod does to help with the aspects of search engine optimization that it addresses is invaluable and perfectly implemented. I can' even think of any improvements to add to the wish list for this mod. Jon, well done and your tech support is second to none. I REALLY mean that! Kennedy Hardware www.kennedyhardware.com Jon installed CDSEO in no time flat. The flexibility this gives us is unreal. No more MySQL product numbers in the urls. Meta keywords and descriptions for every item, no more canned metas site wide. Thanks a bundle. Pete - jairus.com.au This mod is a must have. Results are evident with a day!! Rafael & Bibiana I cannot recommend the CDSEO pro enough. It's a must have mod for any business who is serious about SEO for their ecommerce business. It's easy to use and set up with many options to customize your sites pages. CDSEO is for those e-store owners who want to take their business to the next level, fantastic product, at a great price, with excellent five star services; you can't ask for more! Rafael & Bibiana www.carouselwear.com Mark Whitlock SNM Group, LLC Using CDSEO Pro our newly added products take as little as 24 HOURS to rise to #1 in the search engines! Yes, you heard me right. In the past we thought when it took a few weeks it was going well. We did this first with DSEFU, then when we went to CDSEO Basic, it began to take a bit less. After upgrading to CDSEO Pro we were blown away when we noticed in as little as 24 hours we were the top listing in ALL of the new products added, not just on the first page. To us this is pure magic. We have never seen this type of listing gained in the search indexes with anything else we used, and that includes pure html pages, let alone using php with rewrites. We've also found CDSEO Pro to be very fast measuring in faster fox provided by firefox, and have found them much faster even to the naked eye. So not only the results obtained trumps all we have seen in the past, but the performance is great. Chris Brown CDSEO elevates our game allowing us rich key word control with HTML URLS that we label. To put it bluntly, the cost of this module is how much we loose without it. If you need organic results this module is a must with an x-cart store. I won't even go into how helpful Jon's team has been over the last few years; that just seems like bonus. MBA This is truly a great mod that is a must have. Our organic search engine sales have increased 4x as a direct result of better search engine placement in less than two weeks. It is 100% compatible with the latest versions of Feed Manager and SmartSearch for those with concerns. The brand new user interface helps you make the most of your products titles and meta data. Well done Jon. We are looking forward to seeing your expansion modules for this. This mod is well worth the money. Be sure to purchase the installation so Jon's group can troubleshoot your specific server's environment and get CDSEO Pro working the first time. We are well happy with it and you undoubtedly will be to. Paul Harris CDSEO Pro is hands down the most important x-cart mod any cart owner can do IMHO. I was a huge fan of CDSEO Links and now with CDSEO Pro I have complete SEO optimization control over my products, categories, manufactures, and static pages. Adding data and fine tuning is a breeze with all the data items nicely displayed on a single page in the CDSEO Pro administration control panel. In 2 short weeks I've already corrected a fair number of inconsistencies and patched some holes in my previous work and I'm sure that without CDSEO Pro they would have continued to go unnoticed. Doug Rock - www.systemskins.com 1 Word... AMAZING !!!! I can't stress enough how important this mod is. I added new products to my store and within 6 hours (no joke) I had a sale because I was found by a customer through dogpile.com because the customer entered in keywords that matched exactly. AMAZING !!!! Shawn J McCurdy , CEO of CI Motorsports Inc , www.cimotorsports.net Great SEO Package for anyone running a larger website. Integrated easily and made adding detailed keywords a breeze. WebsiteCM is hands down the best there is when it comes to X-Cart and we highly reccomend their products and services to anyone looking to boost their sales and exposure. Witold Jermolowicz - naszacena.pl CDSEO - just great! I can see results now. It took about 2 weeks to improve my ranking in major search engines. Thank you very much :) Jeremy Roberts, CEO of Mommy-Makeup If you've done any homework on SEO, you'll know the importance of your URL, avoiding duplicate content and having easy links for others to backlink to you (such as http://www.mommymakeup.com/makeup/pretty-n-polished.html). CDSEO solves these issues, in a very elegant way. X-Cart (out of the box) can be SEO hostile, but CDSEO solves many of the critical deficiencies of the stock cart. Junaid CDSEO Links for X-Cart is great and is really what I wanted. I have now put WebsiteCM on my radar for any xcart upgrade to be done - really innovative products. Anton P. - Premium X-cart Hosting, www.FinestShops.com/xcart/ Exactly what we were looking for! A must have for any search engine optimized store. This mod provides ultimate flexibility in SEO and usability of dynamic pages. We're offering this add-on with installation to all our hosted clients and investing in more servers to support the extra traffic generated by this great mod!
