Don't get me started, I wanted to post that here when I read it yesterday but I didn't want everyone to feel depressed as I did... Edit: typo

That's right farrago, Google Images bot visits websites not as frequently as the Google Web bot, there are usually months between each visit for the Google Images bot (for most people). When it visits your site: 1. It doesn't consider when did you add the new image(s) 2. Depending on your website size, structure and other…

Thats interesting. What attribute tag are you using to display your images in your templates? <img src="<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','storedisplayimage')%>" alt="<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','storeDisplayName','')%>" title="<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','storeDisplayName','')%>" /> or have you let NS do it for you via…

Thanks JTreidy, I know it's a long topic to read from the beginning but we (users following this topic) are already aware of this work-around and we discussed the adv. and disadvantages of it. The images I mentioned are not in the live hosting files, and that's what made me wonder how they were crawled and indexed.

This is a well-known trick, but it neglects the the basic benefits of using NS and it will take huge effort to do it. This is not an extra feature, I consider it a defect enforced from NS design that should be fixed.

Our best estimate was it would take around 500 to 600 man hours, so our decision was to wait for NS and invest that time in other projects that we know would generate more profit. As you said, Google image indexing bot doesn't crawl websites as as much as the normal search bot does simply because of the high cost (instead…

They believe they already did, they think that filing an enhancement request is their only obligation and it is the user's turn to push the enhancement up. Don't get me started, I end up filing 3 enhancement requests/feature in many support phone calls simply because of the unpolished features that are rushed to release to…

I've noticed a strange thing which I don't know if anyone else has discussed before: If I do a site search on Google Image Search for our site (typing site:www.noorart.com ) I get some of the images that are hosted using the trick mentioned before AND some of the images hosted at NS that do not generate normal SEO friendly…

Just like if one of their coders had to endlessly fill in the meta data manually for every product they'd develop a simple script system that can pull in an HTMLstripped snippet of the product description for the meta description and a selection of variables to pull in other fields such as product name for the meta…

Thanks to all the replies guys, I really appreciate it. From what I read and heard, in order for me to give my image names that would appear to Google bot I should use the caption function, right? The help of this field says: "Enter the name of this file as you want it displayed in your Web site." But it seems to be…

Using an external server although saves bandwidth but it makes managing the content harder. We already use an external server for many images that we are not interested in having indexed. Doesn't the requested enhancement do basically the same thing the caption field I asked about earlier does? I am confused :confused:

A1 Sitemap Generator author has pulled his hair while we were building our site map, we kept exchanging emails and he even provided me with a private build but it was impossible to get a correct site map (NetSuite reacted sometimes differently to the same settings, kept appending the same parameter over and over to the…

Have you tried setting a page to page crawl delay in the site map creation software? What is the name of the software you are using?

Sorry for the jargon but I can't explain it in any other way: An exception list is a list of URL parameters which the bot should ignore while crawling. Bots in site map creators usually try to grab every link and crawl it (unlike actual SE bots which might drop some parameters or ignore links that are in JS files), if you…

Session IDs are the least of your worries, I had to manually create a very long exceptions list for all the non-navigational parameters to be able to crawl our website and trust me that was an unpleasant job, all you need is to forget dropping one or two parameters and the bot will keep crawling infinitely. What's more…

I just can't understand what's so hard about NS creating the site map themselves, most these cite map creating softwares are made by a single guy in his spare time and those write a crawler that has to deal with many details, while NS can simply add a tab to every item/category/tab that has settings for its inclusion in…

Any updates? did they quote you?

Thanks a lot for the explanation Ted, I will inform the service's support team and see if they support the HTTP GET/POST methods.

I feel for you mate, I have been trying to fix this thing for a very long time and we can't even use the estimator as is simply because if it doesn't know the locale of the customer it will show the international shipping cost (shame!). I have made several enhancement requests: - Show shipping methods in the estimator…

Thank you very much Netsuite, we appreciate that you listened. Being greedy, I hope you can add more SEO related goodies along in the same release like giving the ability for images to show their true name and extension :)

This is so lame, it shouldn't be considered an enhancement, these are basic things, it is like one of the commenters on the enhancement said: this is a car with no wheels!!! NS please consider fixing this ASAP.

Work-around: Hello Hosam, I have some update regarding this concern: - Navigate to the Shop by Theme tab and edit - Place a URL component for this Parent Category. For example "shop-by-theme" - Save - Navigate to you page which has the Redirects and inactivate your redirect that has the /s.nl/sc.16/category.110/.f - Create…

Support posted case # 750736 for this issue and I was promised they will get back to me maximum by tomorrow.

We too want a way to calculate handling by quantity, a more basic method will meet our requirements: Handling for first unit is X (e.g.: $1.20) Handling for the rest of the units is Y/unit (e.g.: $0.10/unit) Example: A 3 units order handling will be ($1.20 + ($0.10* 2)) = $1.30 The actual cost of handling is the time spent…

I filed a case which received the number 665542 and got an answer that I should wait for the enhancement 69887, I was thinking of a work around to this by defining a new custom field; StoreDisplayName2 for example, and concatenating both StoreDisplayName and StoreDisplayName2 in the custom template we are using, anyone has…
