    One of my clients has been using a shopping cart software called X-Cart. However, it would appear that search engines (primarily google) can not read the individual product pages, only the main categories. X-Cart generates a url such as:
    http://www.mystore.com/customer/product.php?productid=16185&cat=346&page=1

    I assume the reason that it isn't being crawled is either:
    1) To many variables in the URL (not too sure on this one, not techy enough.)
    2) The way things are being pulled out of the database.

    Has anyone had any experience in this, or can tell me which it is (you can see example stores at the x-cart web site, but I can't post url's here, so search on google for X-cart and at time of posting it was coming first.)

    I've just been to the X-Cart site and it says that it has a feature for generating a static html catalog, which is search engine friendly.

    This feature can be switched off.

    Also some of the examples have session ids in the URL and some stores don't , the ones that don't have a better chance of getting indexed.


    Probably worth checking that your client did the basics to start with such as actually having a relevant title tag etc.

    hope it helps.
