Text Link Frequency - SEO Features

With the new SearchFit "Auto Generated Menu" system, website menus will automatically update according to your category structure. This allows for easy expansion of the store without the hassle of redesigning every page or template to include links to new pages.

It's easy to create a template for your menu. Take complete control of important SEO factors like the URL, link text, title attribute, inclusion of subcategory links and html structure. For example, use an absolute or relative URL. Use "category name" as the link text for each link or use a custom value. Add a title attribute per link when appropriate. Include subcategory links on every page, or just the page(s) that show the parent category.

The ability to create your own html code for your menu means that you can use tables, div's, lists, or the tag(s) of your choice to display your menu. This will allow your designers to create any type of menu system they can imagine including drop-down, fly-out, lava lamp and menus with unobtrusive JavaScript goodness.

Manage text link frequency by automatically adding links from one category page to all other categories in the same category type. Take control of your pages and determine how they link to each other with ease. Linking all category pages within a given category makes for a simple and logical linking structure. This makes it much easier for search engines to find and rank the individual category and product pages of your store. Expanding an optimized site is much more convenient when automatically adding new categories, pages, or products. The links are displayed using an "unordered list", making it easy for web developers to adjust the display.

Breadcrumbs are links at the top of web pages that let visitors know their location within the site structure. Breadcrumbs increase the usability of your website by giving the user a standard way of navigating to the previous level(s) of your website. For example:

Category Type > Category > Product

Breadcrumb links at the top of the page give automatic link frequency to the pages that goes above a given site structure. They function similar to links to other pages within the same category. These links give the search engines a clear way of understanding the information on the page and how it fits into a web site structure. Having this done automatically saves a lot of time, especially for stores with thousands of products and pages! The breadcrumbs are coded with CSS classes, making it easy for web developers to adjust their display.

Pagination links are the links at the top of category pages that allow visitors to continue on to multiple pages of product listings. The traditional option of having only numbers to click left websites littered with undesirable links such as numerous "1", "2", etc. These links dilutes a website's link text frequency. Since they are repeated on all your category pages, search engines often consider these to be duplicated too many times and ignore them completely. SearchFit allows you to adjust the link text of your pagination links on a per Category Basis. SearchFit allows you to include key phrases with the page numbers to increase link text frequency, which is unlike any standard solution.

Category types are the top level an eCommerce store product structure. On each Category Type page, SearchFit builds a customizable display of the child categories that includes links, descriptions and images. This improves the usability of a website by giving users a summary of its categories. Since this is an automated, template-based system, it requires a minimal amount of development work to implement. Why is this important feature? Category Type pages are rich with content and therefore search engine friendly. They contain all the necessary SEO elements that encourage search engines to add pages from every level of your website to their listings.
