Hi Jack

Thank you for the reply

Ok cool so I take out the irhtoys.co.uk from the keywords as well as the uk

The same product I got amazon have and their keywords for that product is just Hello Kitty Fashion Set

Should I just do that, just have the keywords as the product name

and the description to be two lines containing key words like Hello Kitty Fashion Set and childrens toys and baby toys

Is that right?

Thank you for your time and help Jack

I replied previously as a general guide but anything more doesn't belong in this support thread. You can search the forums and the web for SEO and find many posts on how to do what you want.

Hi, Jack,
I am just installing your superb software. This happened at the index.php page:

1109 - Unknown table 'p' in field list

select count(p.products_id) as total

[TEP STOP]


Would you advice me what to do, please?
Thanks
Antonin

You've made a mistake in one of the edits. It's not possible to tell which edit with an error like that but you can narrow it down by seeing what page you are on when it happens. You can use the included files to test and compare with.

Hi Jack,

I have chosen the "true" for "Display Tag Cloud" in /admin trying to use it. I am the Osc. 2.3.1.
This is to see but no "tag cloud" at the bottom of the page:

1146 - Table 'dospisilcom3.TABLE_HEADERTAGS_KEYWORDS' doesn't exist

select keyword, counter from TABLE_HEADERTAGS_KEYWORDS where keyword is not null and keyword != '' and found = 1 and language_id = 3 ORDER BY counter DESC LIMIT 20

[TEP STOP]



In fact, there is no "TABLE_HEADERTAGS_KEYWORDS" existing in the database. There is only a "HEADERTAGS_KEYWORDS" table. But changing the table´s name doesn´t affect displaying of the error message - it comes forth with both names of the table.

How to fix it?

Thanks
Antonin

Hello @Jack_mcs,

Quick question regarding the new Google guidelines and if there are anything that we must know that might trigger some faults and disapproval's with the webmaster tools. Any source out there that will help us configure the SEO so that it can really maximize search results and minimize any regulations that might arise with Google? Recently, got disapproved with Google with some guideline issues and Im wondering what it really is... any help?

Thank you.

Capital letters like that mean there is a definition missing. You should change the database table name to what it was and look at the instructions for where TABLE_HEADERTAGS_KEYWORDS gets added to the includes/database_tables.php file.

There's nothing in the Headre Tags code that will cause a problem with google but it can be abused, like over-filling the keywords tag. SEO is one of the most popular searches on the web and there are many, many places to look at how to optimize the shop. This contribution provides you wih most of the code you will need to improve your sites SEO but you have use that code to take full advantage of it,

@Jack_mcs

When I page source a specific product page, I notice that the meta title it pulls up is a "category" meta description and the "products", shouldnt it just be the product? How can I edit it so that it is just the product meta title and description? I tried with the options in the Page Control... but doesnt seem to be working.

There is an option in the settings that can cause that (Display Category Parents in Title and Tags).

That is the option. If that isn't set, then the problem has to be in the settings in Page Control for that page. You probably have the category or default category checkbox checked.

If you have checked the settings and they are correct, then there must be a mistake somewhere, though I can't imagine what it might be. You could try replacing the includes/header_tags.php file. Other than that I would have to go through the code to find the problem.

@Jack_mcs I compared the original header_tags.php with my current one and the only changes are those pages written after:

FillHeaderTagsArray($header_tags_array, $sortOrder);  

cookie-usage, contact us... etc....

How should Header Tags SEO look like under configurations, here are my settings:
Auto Add New Pages     false
Check for missing tags     true
Clear cache     false
display category parents in title and tags     standard
display column box     false
disable permiss warning     false
disable help popups     true
display silo links     true
display social bookmark     true
enable cache    normal
enable an html editor     no editor
enable html editor for cate desc.     false
enable html editor for meta desc.     false
enable html editof for products.     false
enable version checker     false
keyword density range     0.02,0.06
separator description     -
separator keywords     ,


Are these correct, or proper for googles new penguin and updates?

Those settings are fine. However, they indicate you have an old version installed, which might be the cause of your problems. I suggest you upgrade to the latest version.

@Jack_mcs When updating to v.3.2.8 - will it erase my current keywords and title tags? If so, how can I save it so just the modules install? And there are instructions for upgrading installs correct? Thanks Jack.

If you have a recent version installed, then you can run the update file like this
http://yourdomain.com/headertags_seo_update.php?reset_options=true
That will add all of the new parts of the database without removing anything. If you have an older version from before this worked (I thik two versions ago), then you will need to use the mysql statments in the update files. You should still run the update file when you are done since it will order the configuration options so they make more sense.

@Jack_mcs Currently I have v. 3.2.6 installed - so going to 3.2.8 - should be easy, just replace the files and update with the link above?
