I had a call today from an "ecommerce specialist" for a free audit & apparently I have a small problem.
When you click on any of the options (eg; Best Sellers, Weddings etc.) on the left hand side section on my home page it apparently goes via a cgi address before landing on the correct page.
I was told that this is damaging my SEO opportunities with the search engines as this re-direction is confusing the spiders. I'm not intending to take him up on his offer to fix it for me (with a upgrade to v8 or a new shiny site using Zen Cart!) but it does have me wondering if there is any truth in this.
Why does it does it do this (when the right hand panel links go straight to the correct page) & is it really stunting my SEO growth?
(I'm using Smart theme)
Does anyone have any views/ thoughts on this?
Many thanks
Jackie
