here is url in question: http://autotoolsmarket.com/product/...apters-kit-12x0-1w-1-3-x-0-87in-white-single/ I have two questions: 1: Can google read any content on this page other then just the URL? or is all of the content on this page directly pulled from amazon? can anyone tell? 2: I am also unable to add unique content to my product pages. If I edit a product page (like on above url), then save, the text will not appear on that page, I have also tried my banner code, and it does not work either.... I would like to add unique content to my product pages so I can get better indexing, but I am unable too because when I save it does not appear on the page.... PS. This particular url is indexed, but overall, I have a horrible index ratio that is pretty much, well, non-existent, and probably due to lack or no content. Anyone have any answers, fix, or solution to this? Thanks
The content is on the page. If you look at the source, you'll see the text in the usual <div>s and so on, not just an iframe with Amazon content. Google can, therefore, read it. Given that the content is exactly the same as that on Amazon (the Product Description, mostly), I assume it's automatically pulled into the blog by whatever plugin you use for that. I know nothing about the plugin you're using, but at a guess, any changes get overwritten the next time the content is checked and updated from Amazon. Is there a switch to only pull content once, then leave it alone? Or to mark changed pages, so they don't get overwritten? Duplicate content, I suspect. Google detects the original Amazon copy, detects your copy and assumes you're taking their content, so slaps you down in the rankings. Editing the descriptions will help with that a lot, if you can make your changes stick!
I like the store, but I can not convince the plugin/theme owner to allow us to use unique content in the product pages... The blog on the site is different; I can add/change/edit the blog in any fashion i want, and it indexes just fine.... the creator seems to think, just leave the store as it is, and just use unique content for the /blog and you will be fine.... well, so far, I have not been fine, all of my stores have been crashing into the google dirt pile I can not even see the amazon content in the editor, the product pages are entirely blank.... even if I attempt to add my own text content, it does not show on the page when saved.... not only that, her plugin does not even discard duplicate items, it pulls them right on into the store also... so my store not only has duplicate content, no content, and duplicate products which have already been pulled in.... I have not even tried to change the title descriptions; for some reason, I think something will go wrong there too... not only that - I am constantly finding incorrect pricing compared to my product pages, and actual amazon prices.... Her store is a giant night-mare.... freddy, just cut my throat and get it over with.... oh, I dont need freddy, google is cutting my throat just fine....
In which case your only options are to leave it as is, use a different plugin or write your own plugin that does what you need. Or adjust his so it works properly.
I have also tried changing the url...and the url changed fine... http://autotoolsmarket.com/product/...rsal-power-adapters-kit-12x0-1w-1-3-x-0-87in/ however, the title did not change on the page, it still remains the same.... of course I cant change the on page title as nothing shows up in the product editor when I click to open product pages.... this sucks...i have good amount of money already tied up in these stores...
So the product posts are empty in the WP interface? Presumably that means the content is automated from elsewhere... have you tried typing stuff into the post and seeing where it comes out on the page? Perhaps you could add a section of your own that way, to include additional unique content.
1: When I click to edit a product page in WP; the editor is empty. (there is no content there, no code, nothing; 100% blank.) 2: I have tried saving content to see if it would appear on the products page; I have also tried using my banner code to show banners; nothing more shows up on the product pages other then what is already showing up.... 3: the editor for the products appear to be used for the only purpose for the url structure domain.com/products/this-is-my-product-url this area of the editor does not appear to have anything to do with the content that is showing on the product pages, and if it does, then it is a secret because every product page in the wp editor is blank....
Sounds like everything is being stored externally, then, either in postmeta or another table. In other words, you're stuck with what the plugin does and have no wiggle room. I used the meta setup when I built the plugin for WLE World: using the standard post type makes life easier for post creation, handling and querying. You just put all your "special" data in postmeta and redefine the page/post templates to show that, instead of the standard "show post content". You may be able to change the templates to show your own content or adjust the plugin to do that. Either way, it'd be a pretty big job with lots of learning to do (unless you know how to create themes and plugins), without very much payback in the short term.
