SEO manual

wp.rauchholz
Good day,

I was looking for a manual that explains how to do SEO with Ofbiz. I was
not able to find one and would like to create a manual myself and publish
it for all to use.
Manual would include a short introduction as to what SEO is, elements of it
(meta descriptions, URLs, page speed, quality content, etc..) and how this
can be implemented with Ofbiz.
I will need a help with Ofbiz. I need to understand more in detail what the
different fields on catalogs, categories, parts etc, ... do and what the
correct syntax is.
If there is a volunteer that can help, please send me an email and we take
it form there.

Thanks, Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

As mentioned in my recent email on a separate thread,
the link demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/catalog should be
demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog (A dot should be between, demo-trunk
and ofbiz word)

P.S. Please include user mailing list in reply, in this way the wider
audience will be available to help you :-)


Best Regards,
Swapnil M Mane,

Re: SEO manual

wp.rauchholz
*Screen “Content”, tab in Product Maintenance*

Are the list of fields underneath metatags that get added to the HTML code
of e-commerce page?


   - *Page Title: *Example: <title>Tiny Gizmo : OFBiz E-Commerce Store
   </title>”
   - *Description*:Example: <meta name="description" content="The smallest
   gizmo in town."/>
* Description Long: *Example:
   <div id="long-description">
   <div>This gizmo is very small and runs on solar power.</div>
   <div></div>
   - *Image Alt Text – Detail/Large/Medium/Small: *Example:<img src=”
   http://example.com/foto.jpg” alt=”Tiny-Gizmo” />
* Alternative URL*: what exactly is it and what is the correct syntax?
   I like to re-write ecomseo URLs, can I do this in standard?
   Example: Standard ofbiz creates the following URL:
   https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecomseo/product/Tiny-Gizmo-GZ-1000.html
   How can I use the system to create the following URL?
   https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/<category
   name>/Tiny-Gizmo-GZ-1000.html

*Screen “Keywords”, tab in Product Maintenance*

What are keywords being used for?

What is the difference to Meta Keywords from Content Tab of the Part Number?

   - *Field: **Keyword Type Id: *what is the difference between “Tag” and
   “Keyword”?
   *Relevancy Weight*: what is this field being used for?

*Questions:*

   - How can I create H1 – H6 meta tags?
   - How can I add image long description in Ofbiz? Example:
<img src=”http://example.com/parque-cientifico-tecnologico-albacete.jpg”
   alt=”Longtext=”http://example.com/<text>.html” />
   - Does ofbiz has capability to create sitemmap.xml/.html file?
   - How can I create canonical URLs in Ofbiz? Example: <link
   rel=”canonical” href=http://www.<text>.html/>
   - How can I define in Ofbiz featured HTML snippets to support better
   search by voice?


Thanks,Wolfgang

Re: SEO manual

wp.rauchholz
I checked this link. I gives me what I copy underneath. I migh be wrong,
but I do bot consider this a user manual. that explains some comcepts and
then goes down onto field level to explain at least the most relevent ones
one by one.


Wolfgang

If Search Engine Optimisation
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization> has no interest
on the backend side, because the backend  is most often used in an
intranet, it's a main concern on the eCommerce side.



In OFBiz, there are 2 ways to handle SEO on the eCommerce side of OFBiz,
depending if you use the ecommerce webapp
<https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/control/main> or it's new
SEO specialised clone ecomseo webapp
<https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecomseo> (since r1655803
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1655803>)

As you are probably aware, OFBiz has a pretty uncommon way of generating
URLs. Most of this has to do with the fact that OFBiz uses a servlet
(ControlServlet) to handle all requests. The servlet is mounted at
/control, so that it won't interfere with other servlets. Though
functionally valid, this has the side effect that all URLs are actually
created on /control, which is neither pretty, nor good by any measures of
SEO. It also means that a few 302 redirects are necessary to forward the
user from / to /control/main. It also makes requests more complicated,
since many forwards are necessary whenever somebody wants to move away from
this implementation. If this is acceptable for the ERP backend it's less
desirable for an eCommerce frontend. This is what you get with the ecommerce
webapp <https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/control/main>. On the
other hand the SEO specialised ecomseo webapp
<https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecomseo> offers you more:

   - Removal of /control out of all the urls
   - SEO-friendly URLS
   - Configurable product/category and other URLs
   - Frontpage mapping from /main to /

So before implementing your eCommerce application be sure to compare this 2
ways of doing things...

Hi all,

We are compounding SEO, which is indeed much more important for
public-facing ecommerce, and good URLs. I think good URLs matter for the
backend too. - we should have better URLs *everywhere*.

Good clear URLs are of benefit to everybody. Our users can bookmark a URL
and understand what it means when they see it in the future. They can
quickly navigate by modifying a URL in the address bar.

Good URLs are an important part of a RESTful API (
https://restfulapi.net/resource-naming/).

The word "control" in the middle of all our APIs is a technical
implementation detail, and it's just noise for all our users all of the
time. It's as bad as .jsp, .php3, .aspx on the end of URLs, which are,
thank goodness, becoming much less common . "main" is not much better.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy

Re: SEO manual

wp.rauchholz
Paul, it is very important what you are saying; a user-friendly URL is
fundamental element to position better in google search and attract
thus organic traffic to the site.

URL has to be user-friendly, should contain key words (which not
nesesarily is the product name), it should be aa far as possible to the
left.
Having the possibility to easily customiz/configure URL is important.



Regards, Wolfgang
