## Module Overview

# Use Static URIs to make web addresses Easier to Remember and Easier to Enter.
Improve the store's Rankings in Search Engines!

> “Ceon URI Mapping is absolutely fantastic and beats any other Zen Cart SEO module by a country mile.

> “I have found Ceon ZC modules to be among the best ZC mods out there!”

The Ceon URI Mapping module is a very handy module that no Zen Cart site should be without!

Unlike other SEO modules, where the URIs are generated automatically when a customer visits a page, this module allows specific URIs to be entered within the admin, or even for auto-generation to be used to create a static URI for an individual category/product/manufacturer/EZ-Page/Zen Cart page.

We believe this to be a much better solution as the store is in control of its URIs.

#### Static, Human-Readable, Keyword-Based URIs

Ceon URI Mapping lets the store specify static, human-readable, keyword-based URIs to be used instead of the dynamic, ID-based URIs which Zen Cart uses as standard.

For example, for a product, instead of dynamic URIs like this:

http://yourstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=5

a static address - easy to read, easy to type in, and full of keywords - could be specified for the product:

http://yourstore.com/books/life-is-good

#### Easily Promote Sections of the Site

It's simple to promote sections of the site on advertising literature.

For example, the following URI could be mapped to the specials page and put on flyers, posters and other sites:

http://yourstore.com/EasterSpecials

#### Packed Full of Features

Ceon URI Mapping is packed full of features, which include:

- #### Full Multi-Language Support

- #### Canonical URI Support

- #### Historical URI Redirection (Never have a broken link again!)

- #### URI Auto-Generation

- #### Transliteration Support

- #### 100% Compatibility with Zen Cart

- #### As well as many more!

# Give potential customers easy to enter/remember URIs and improve the site's rankings in search engines - check out the full feature list!

Please Note: This module does not automatically add mappings for existing Categories/Products/Manufacturers/EZ-Pages - if the site has existing Categories/Products/Manufacturers/EZ-Pages, they'll continue to use the standard Zen Cart dynamic URIs, until a URI has been entered or auto-generated for them, by editing the respective Category/Product/Manufacturer/EZ-Page in the admin.

This means going in and editing every Category/Product/Manufacturer/EZ-Page for which a static URI mapping is desired. Ceon's URI Mappings Manager software is being developed, and will be able to generate URIs for entire categories etc. at once.

The version you have here is a completely new module, based in part on a module written for a client of JKED, a leading e-commerce firm - see what JKED can offer you!.
