dynamically add SEO / Meta content files in oscarcommerce page

[ador...@gmail.com]

Could any one let me know how to add meta content on oscarcommerce pages using dashboard or django admin ?

Thank you,

Dev

Short answer: you can't.

The easiest way to manage meta-content is through overriding the appropriate templates and setting the 'title' and 'description' blocks.   Oscar does ship with some sensible defaults for these (suggestions for improvements always welcome of course).

If you need the ability for a non-technical person (eg SEO) to set metadata, then you could use one of the many such SEO packages on PyPI.   Tangent has had similar requirements before and used DjangoSEO successfully.  In that case, a template override is required to insert the appropriate template tag.

Would there be any interest in adding some SEO-targeted fields to the product editor? Perhaps another section beneath "Product stock".

SEO is a very important aspect of selling online. Adding basic things like meta title, description and keywords to a product to allow a marketing person to specify these values on a per-product basis would have value.

I could build this functionality if there is any interest in it.

I'd be interested in something like that! I think it'd be easiest if you
build an extension. It probably needs a template tag to include the
data, and replacing the dashboard.catalogue app. Shouldn't be too hard.

I think a dashboard redesign is planned for some day down the road. If
such an extension proves popular, that'd be a good time where we could
integrate it into core.

In general SEO is not very prominent in Oscar, partly because neither
David (I presume) nor me have an extraordinary amount of experience with
it. Any work towards improving it are welcome, as I consider it aa core
feature of an e-commerce solution.

Regards,

Maik

I did a post on my blog that is relevant to people interested in this discussion. Here’s a part of it…

 

Every year for at least 20 years now more money has been spent online in every business category than the year before as people worldwide turn to the Internet for their wants, needs and interests. Consider these eye-opening research facts:

 

61% of global Internet users research products online. (source: Interconnected World: Shopping and Personal Finance, 2012)

44% of online shoppers begin by using a search engine. (Interconnected World: Shopping and Personal Finance, 2012)

60% of all organic clicks go to the top three organic search results. (MarketingSherpa, February 2007)

75% of users never scroll past the first page of search results. (MarketShareHitsLink.com, October 2010)

 

However, all this also means there’s a swamp of competition in almost every niche or industry online. Worse, the SEO rules seem to change every month, contradicting last month’s best practices. These are the core reasons why almost all online businesses seek effective search engine optimization for their websites, yet struggle to achieve meaningful results.

 

If you learn how to achieve it, consistently high rankings for the right keywords will steadily drive large numbers of interested visitors to your website or those of your clients every month. And if you play it right, you can also build a “herd”, as The Millionaire Maker Dan Kennedy calls it, of loyal repeat customers from this quality traffic.

 

An information overload of SEO tools and courses have come out lately, all claiming to teach how to search engine optimize for 2013 effectively – or even swearing to do it all for you work-free. How can we identify a genuinely top quality SEO system out of the sea of posers before us? Read the rest of this article to find out here: http://bit.ly/SEOsst1

Looks like we are around 5 years later.  Has there been any extensions or additions to django-oscar to handle SEO's?

Again some years later ;)

Is there now a way  to handle Meta tags with oscar ?  If not i would write something, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel
