Search Engine Optimization for MIVA Merchant
MIVA Merchant does not inherently provide the Meta Tags that are used by search engines to
catalog websites. The MetaTag Generator automatically provides the Meta Tags required by search engines for proper search engine recognition and positioning. This module creates those tags for you and allows your storefront to be recognized and cataloged by the search engines.
Key Benefits Include:
Automatically generates category- and product-specific keywords based on existing category and product names in MIVA Merchant
Automatically generates a page description based on the existing site introduction page, category and product headers in MIVA
Merchant
Places these keywords in the HTML HEAD section of your MIVA Merchant store – exactly where the search engines go to look for Meta
Tags!
Allows you to specify site-wide keywords that are added to all pages
Automatically creates META ROBOT tags to indicate which pages should be followed and indexed (ie: Store Front, Category and Product pages), and "noindex" for pages such as the Login & Checkout
Allows you to tell the search engines how often to come back and spider your site through the “Meta Revisit-After” functionality
Gives you FULL CONTROL of your product and category Meta Tag descriptions and keywords
Specify Site-Wide Keywords that are added to all pages
All descriptions and keywords can be customized individually for the store front, category and product pages
It's a common misconception that search engines don't properly catalog MIVA Merchant sites; the truth is that Merchant does not provide the proper search engine Meta Tags, causing poor search engine placement. Adding this module to your store will provide search engine compliant Meta Tags, improving how some search engines will catalog your site!
