Shopping cart meta-data and url are non-descriptive. Create static descriptive pages?

I have a shopping cart that has no product information in the title (just a generic title, i.e. "Computer Store") and the URL consists of numeric values (i.e. "computerstore.com/showProduct.aspx?productID=2345").
I have access to the database which contains all the products with the title, description, price and other relevant info.
Since this is a hosted shopping cart solution, I am unable to modify the page/link generation (I have to leave it as it is basically).

Now I was wondering whether any of the following options would be a wise choice or not:

1.) Generate static html pages with descriptive title and file name and save them on a subdomain (i.e. "www2.computerstore.com") - AND - offer a link to the actual URL of the shopping cart upon clicking "Buy now" OR automatically redirect the page to the actual URL (using some sort of 301 (?) redirect)
2.) Have a blog and post articles for each item/product dynamically

Thanks for any input

 

In my opinion you should change your shopping cart. I recommend to use some script which can you modify if you will need any changes in the feature. The markets are changing very often and you will probably need some modifications during the time.

Does this solution come with something what other shopping carts don't offer?

 

Thanks for the suggestion, MarbleHost.com. Unfortunately, this shopping is provided by the warehouse/wholesaler, hosted on their masked domain and hence I have to stick with this shopping cart solution.

 

OK, in this case I recommend to use your solution 1). How many products will your sell? How often will you need to update the content? These question are important because creating static html pages can be very time consuming.

Maybe you should use some shopping cart on your subdomain (instead of static pages). This way you will be able to create product pages more quickly (and if you have access to mysql database where the data are stored it can be much more easier). This shopping cart on the subdomain can be SEO friendly with the link to your main shopping cart where visitor will make the purchase.
