Session IDs are very common with Magento and they can cause severe duplicate content issues, as there’s no limit to the number of duplicated URLs that can be generated. Session IDs are used to track a user’s session and they’re usually generated via the checkout, to track what items have been added to cart. A session ID will be appended to the end of URLs, here’s an example: domain.com/page?__SID=df23n54jtklg.

The best way to deal with this is to properly fix the issue, which will require development resource. If you’re not in a position to fix this, I would recommend blocking the URLs via the robots.txt or assigning meta robots rules (noindex, follow) – I would also recommend providing instructions to Google via the parameter handling options in Google Webmaster Tools.

You should also block you checkout pages so that crawlers won’t access pages with the session ID appended to the end of the URL.

In the SEO configuration settings (catalog > search engine optimisation) you can choose whether to serve category paths in product URLs – this is the main thing you need to consider for product URLs. I would recommend using top-level product URLs (eg: domain.com/product.html rather than domain.com/category/sub-cat/product.html) as this will prevent the product being duplicated if it’s featured in more than one category.

I personally really like BazaarVoice, because it provides a lot of customisation options and has some really advanced functionality. That said, BazaarVoice is quite expensive and it’s subscription-based.

The default Magento module is actually quite good, although you might want to use additional module or work with your developer to get more from it.

BazaarVoice also has schema support, making it easier to get the ratings schema appearing on your product listings.

Layered / faceted navigation is probably the most common Magento SEO issue and it’s also probably the most detrimental.

I would recommend instead using the noindex, follow meta robots tag, which tells search engines not to index the pages, but to still follow the links. You should still have the canonical tag, however I’ve seen very few cases where it’s prevented over-indexation issues when it’s not been added from the start. I’ve also seen plenty of cases where the canonical tag has been implemented from day one of an ecommerce launch, however the pages have still been indexed and lead to duplicate content issues.

In the event that you’re having issues with crawl budget, I would recommend using the robots.txt to block the pages.

Magento’s rewrite engine is known for causing SEO issues, with the numbers being appended to URLs being the most common one. The URLs are created when Magento thinks that the URL is already in use or has been used in the past – uploading via CSV can cause this issue because you’re essentially over-writing the existing URLs.

There’s also an error in a recent Magento Enterprise release that causes a lot of these issues.

What could be more frustrating as a customer than to want to purchase something but being unable to find it? If your search functions leave something to be desired, you are missing out on valuable conversions. It can be tempting to install third-party search functions, but, if you know how to leverage them correctly, Magento’s search tools can be incredibly helpful for your customers.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

There comes a time in the lifecycle of every site to evaluate where it is heading or find new strategies to fight stagnation in sales. This can be a very stressful time, filled with doubt and anxiety. Given what can happen if your eCommerce site does not work correctly, deploying or replatforming a site is not a project to be taken lightly. Success depends on having a well-developed roadmap and a partnership with the right consultant. Here are our team’s suggestions of a few things you can do to prepare for your eCommerce project.

Goals! Before you start anything decide – in writing – on the overall goals of your site and how you will measure success. If your team does not agree on this first step, the design process will be a mess and you will ultimately have no clear indicator of a successful project. Once that is completed you can plan for the remaining components: target audience, the level of personalization your technology supports, content plan, user experience, mobile and other channel availability, third party add-ons needed to support your site, and whose help you need to turn your strategy into reality.
