Just installed a mod to the X-Cart Shopping Cart at ChopperStickers.com.

The mod is the DSEFU (Dynamic Search Engine Friendly URL) mod from SafetyNetWeb. Basically is what this does is takes the dynamic URLs for the categories and products and makes them a little more search engine friendly.

Here is an example the old url for the All Helmet Stickers Category was http://www.chopperstickers.com/home.php?cat=1

The new DSEFU is
http://www.chopperstickers.com/All-Helmet-Stickers-c-1.html

Notice that the new DSEFU contains the category name All Helmet Stickers, this should help a bit with keyword density and search engine indexing.

The module took about 30 minutes to install. There is a lot of manual changes to the x-cart core php files and templates but it was not to bad. Right now SafetyNetWeb the company that developed the DSEFU mod is offer free installation with the purchase.

I wanted to do the install myself for several reasons the main one being if it gets hosed up there is no one to blame but myself. The other reason is I manage this site on a day to day basis and it is just better know exactly what has changed when.

The mod is installed and everything is running smooth. Check it out at ChopperStickers.com. You can purchase the DSEFU Mod here.
