Psycho Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well, no the format does not need to be XML. But, what are you really asking? A "shopping cart" is a group of products that a user has selected for purchase. You need a site-map for their cart?

jasonc Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 There is not a list of the products, only a search page that returns all the products title, description and an image. Each product page would take the form... www.site.com?item=123456 What I would like to have is a sitemap for google to use for all of my products.

Psycho Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 OK, so you don't want a sitemap for the shopping cart you want a sitemap for your products. But, then again, it doesn't sound like that is what you really want either. It sounds as if you want a page of all your products (via their dynamic links) such that search engines can index your products. If you are specifically interested in just Google then look into the information they provide for product searching: http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/products/submit.html http://www.google.com/support/mini/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=15745 Although here is a more generic reference regarding search engine optimization for variable content sites: http://www.seo-consultant-services.co.uk/static-html-vs-dynamic-urls.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248947-where-do-i-start-in-creating-a-sitemap-for-my-shopping-cart/#findComment-1278576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
