    I have seen some kind of free online software that lets you create product catalog layouts based on your ecommerce product database but I can't remember the name of company or the url of their site? Anyone heard of this?

      Hi Lara,

      Like with so many things in this business, there is not a simple yes or no with regard to Yahoo Stores. There's some options. Let's discuss this via our support desk. Please post a support ticket and we'll get back to you on this.

        Hi catalogondemand,

        I am going to try your service. I noticed you work with Magento which is great but do you work with other platforms like Yahoo Store?

        I will sign up today for new trial account

        thanks

        Lara

          Hello,We're in the business of making print catalogs and brochures from the content of e-commerce systems and other data sources. I am not aware of a free solution to do this. We are inexpensive, but not free!We do offer a free service to make a PDF flyer, with QR code, for every product on your eStore. I bet that is what you remember seeing. Also, we offer a free 30 day trial to make as many print catalogs as you want. If you have any questions or issues please contact our support desk. We are glad to assist you in any way.

              Actually, if you Google that (free online software that lets you create product catalog layouts) you'll get a lot of options. And that way you can better review what software or set up may be most compatible or easiest for you to use.

                Reason for robots.txt file blocking products on category pages?

                Hi I have a website with thosands of products. On the category pages, all the products are linked to with the code “?cgid” in the URL. But “?cgid” is also blocked in the robots.txt file for some reason. So I'm thinking it's stopping all my products getting crawled by Google. Am I right here? Is there any reason why a website would want to limit so many URL's? I'm only here a week and the sites getting great traffic, so don't want to go breaking it!!! Thanks

                Woocommerce SEO and Product attributes

                Hi friends! I have a question that is advanced Woocommerce and seo-related.
                I'm seeing http://www.mywebsitex.com/pa_keyword/indexed in Google, but it cannot be properly optimized, and I would prefer to have a WordPress Page indexed for that keyword instead, which also lists those products and can be fully seo optimized. Woocommerce SEO plugin by Yoast lacks documentation and I have no clue if that would even fix this. I do have the Taxonomy (pa_keyword) set to not include these in the sitemap, but there doesn't seem to be a way to noindex/nofollow product attributes.
                1. How can I best accomplish this?
                2. Why are product attributes indexed by default?

                Help with Schema.org on Ecommerce Products

                I’m looking for ways of using schema.org with products that have pricing options. There appear to be two main problems 1)      Whilst colour, width, height and depth are all catered for, size appears to be missing – how can we mark up products that are available in sizes that aren’t necessarily covered by width/height/depth (e.g. shoe size). Also, what if the product is available in different finishes – technically, these could not properly be described as colours so how could we mark them up? 2)      There doesn’t seem to be any particularly good way of marking up pricing options that are displayed on the same product detail page. For e.g. if a pricing option table is used like this: | ID | Colour | Price 001-red | Red | £3.99 001-green | Green | £4.49 001-blue | Blue | £4.99 | I can mark up each row as an offer, and give each offer a price and sku or mpn, but then I can’t use itemprop=”color” to describe exactly what the option is. Would I just use itemprop=”name” in this case and abandon color altogether (even though it’s technically supposed to be describing the colour of the product and not the name of the offer)? I suppose another way I could approach it would be to mark up each row as an individual product, and assign each one an offer with the details as described above but then the containing page would effectively look like a separate product – which it isn’t. Any help or advice on this would be very much appreciated

                E-Commerce Website Architecture - Cannibalization between Product Categories and Blog Categories?

                Hi, I have an e-commerce site that sells laptops. My main landing pages and category pages are as follows:
                "Toshiba Laptops", "Samsung Laptops", etc. We also run a WP blog with industry news.
                The posts are divided into categories which are basically as our landing pages.
                The posts themselves usually link to the appropriate e-commerce landing page.
                For example: a post about a new Samsung Laptop which is categorized in the blog under "Samsung Laptops" will naturally link somewhere inside to the "samsung laptops" ecommerce landing page. Is that good or do the categories on the blog cannibalize my more important e-commerce section landing pages? Thanks

                B2C directory website adding B2B ecommerce sub-domain

                Hey fellow Mozzers, Just got back from Mozcon and enjoyed getting to know a handful of you. I do in house SEO for a B2B wholesaler. We have a B2C website directory for homeowners to locate contractors to work on their home. On the site we have a products section which includes tech specs but not pricing. Our contractors have been asking us to add the ability to purchase their items online, so we are wanting to add a B2B sub-domain (store.domain.com) to our website for the contractors to purchase products online. We do not want consumers to be able to purchase the items and will have pricing behind a log in. I have a few questions that I'm hoping you might be able to answer: 1. What would be the best practice to not have duplicate content errors with products that are listed on both sites? Should we rel-canonical items shown on both domains or do something else?
                2. We are not against having the new site be crawled, but will Google be upset/ding rankings because pricing is behind a log-in? Are there certain best-practices for B2B ecommerce sites?
                3. Do you know of any other sites that have done this/do you have any recommendations on how to best implement this?

                Blog is outranking ecommerce store

                My client has a blog that posts information about products to support its ecommerce store. The blog's main purpose is to support the products listed on the main website, but it has become so strong that its posts sometimes rank in the SERPS in place of the website product page, which is undesirable. The blog posts always link to the product that they are supporting. Are there any other methods, other than doing a 301, that could help the product page to rank instead of the blog post?

                Infinite Scrolling vs. Pagination on an eCommerce Site

                My company is looking at replacing our ecommerce site's paginated browsing with a Javascript infinite scroll function for when customers view internal search results--and possibly when they browse product categories also. Because our internal linking structure isn't very robust, I'm concerned that removing the pagination will make it harder to get the individual product pages to rank in the SERPs. We have over 5,000 products, and most of them are internally linked to from the browsing results pages in the category structure: e.g. Blue Widgets, Widgets Under $250, etc. I'm not too worried about removing pagination from the internal search results pages, but I'm concerned that doing the same for these category pages will result in de-linking the thousands of product pages that show up later in the browsing results and therefore won't be crawlable as internal links by the Googlebot. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do here? I'm already arguing against the infinite scroll, but we're a fairly design-driven company and any ammunition or alternatives would really help. For example, would serving a different page to the Googlebot in this case be a dangerous form of cloaking? (If the only difference is the presence of the pagination links.) Or is there any way to make rel=next and rel=prev tags work with infinite scrolling?

                Ecommerce Style Wordpress But No Shopping Cart.

                Wondering if anyone knows if you can purchase an ecommece style wordpress theme, but not use the shopping cart portion or display pricing. We would like to display our website how an ecommerce is set up, but at this time, we do not sell anything online. We are considering in the near future to sell half of our products. And this would not be very large. Or can ecommerce be added to any wordpress theme. ?
