What version of osC is under the hood of osCMax v2.0.25?

**Shortbus** · 02-03-2011, 02:46 PM

No criticisms, please. I really don't know the answer to this. I'm installing Header Tags SEO V 3.2.5, but it includes two installation options...

1. Stores running osC less than v2.3
2. Stores running osC greater than v2.3

Which one do I use if I'm installing this on osCMax v2.0.25?

Less than 2.3.

v2.3 refers to latest version of osCommerce.

1 - see What is osCMax? | osCMax - osCommerce Maximized --> Ultimate SEO Urls v2.0
Though why bother? See wiki for metatag details

SEO URLs is good. I'm currently using it on the site that I'm converting to osCMax, but it does not have the power that Header Tags SEO (formerly Header Tags Controller) does. Being able to control the <title> tags of every individual product in my store was the single greatest SEO feature that I did to my site. The number of pages in Google's index skyrocketed after installing that contribution and I know it wasn't a coincidence. I also like having control over the meta-description and Header Tags SEO allows that as well. I've seen the results of Dynamic Meta Tag Generator and doesn't generate very compelling meta-descriptions.

Each to their own, I guess.
I have Header Tags Controller on an osC client site and thought it superfluous. Feedmachine (Google Base) and GoogleSiteMap being much more effective.

It's probably the way my products are set up that makes it beneficial to me. Several sources said it was a waste of time so I never bothered with it, but when the time eventually came and I decided to give it a try, all I can say was "WOW!" and wished I had used it sooner.
