Has someone ever tried to create a SEO hack for Quickcart?
hardcoded or with mod_rewrite maybe?

So the url's will look like:

content: http://www.yoursite.com/?page=Contact_information

products category: http://http://www.yoursite.com/?page=productsList&iCategory=Books

and for an individual product: http://http://www.yoursite.com/?page=/?p=productMore&iProduct=cooking_php5
( underscore or maybe % for the empty spaces in category/products titles )


Or even maybe a way to assign a description and keywords for every page , product cat. and or product ?

Yeah using mod-rewrite in .htaccess you can use a friendly URL, its rather simple but not reccomended on all circumstances.

You can use mod_rewrite (on an Apache web server) to interpret the incoming URLs OK, but you first have to provide something in the application that manipulates the outgoing URLs into a 'friendly' (and unique) format. Thats the hard part.
You also have to bear in mind that people on Windows servers don't have mod_rewrite, and although there are alternatives they tend to be far less accessible than those available for Apache.

yes i know it is really only for Apache everywhere i read about this stuff, mambo, oscommerce for instance tells there is almost know convenient way to do it for IIS/MS servers.
Indeed the application changing part is the hardest.. i am still figuring out what to change there..
