SEO Urls

Where can I download a standard .htaccess file?

and can someone link to a guide to set it up?

A standard .htaccess file is provided (named .htaccess.txt). You just need to rename it to .htaccess and it will allow you to turn on seo urls in your SYSTEM > SETTINGS

This url is not google friendly
index.php?route=product/product&product_id=42

what we have to do is perform the URL rewriting.
as index.php/produt/product_id/42/product.php

Site map is done in the XML base and is search engine friendly.
Image tags should also have to be maintained if image tag is not found use the product name
Structuring in <div> is also important as per the W3C
Should also have unique content don't copy of other

In opencart admin/controller/feed/googlesitemap.php does most of the work to contact with the google

Thanking you

What has that got to do with anything? those urls are the wrong structure, and isn't really anything to do with what the OP asked

the op kinda mislead the discussion considering the title of the thread
