lemonpromotions Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Can someone please just give me a straightforward answer here ? http://www.ourladysgiftshop.com/312-hand-painted-crosses How do I remove the 312 from that URL to a Prestashop 1.6.0.9 category ? Or even the 2 from this URL ? http://www.ourladysgiftshop.com/hand-painted-crosses/2-10-cm-children-of-the-world-united-wood-cross.html Do I need to remove them ? Do Google and the other search engines really care that much ? I know others know much more than me about these kind of things, so try and bear that in mind if you want to help me - we are not all code gods which is why some of us use Prestashop in the first place. Also - Browseo appears to show this as Googles view of a standard Prestashop website: http://www.browseo.net/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ourladysgiftshop.com%2F312-hand-painted-crosses Does that seem right or should the information above "> Hand Painted Crosses" be removed from the site map on the prestashop backend? If so which sections on Google Sitemap module do I need to select to remove safely so that the sitemap module does not add unwanted sections ? Thank you !!!

PrestaHeroes USA Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Search engines (google) do not care about this since 2010. To do so requires core changes and I have not seen one yet that works completely especially when one upgrades it takes PrestaNerd to re-implement. I do not, nor have I ever, recommended removing anything from the URL that you cannot do from back office. I hope this helps you and others.

lemonpromotions Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) That is brilliant and straight forward advice - thank you so much El Patron. Could you tell me which sections I should select from that graphic above to block from the sitemap so that the extraneous results do not appear at the top and google sees the product information immediately ? Although looking at it again, this isnt a sitemap problem is it....damn I am REALLY confused now Again, thank you Nick Edited September 30, 2015 by lemonpromotions (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
