Actually, I even own a web site with an ASP built shopping cart. The trick here is once again to keep this away from your home page and other important pages. If you are unsure of what all this means, lets make it simple. If your site designer wants to use ASP, CGI or things similar on your site, follow these guidelines.

Let’s say for instance your shopping cart is going to be built in ASP code like many shopping carts are. ASP is the code that allows the shopping cart to work. No problem.

Just keep the shopping cart pages away from your home page and your other pages that will be indexed by the search engines. Only allow people to enter the shopping cart when they are ready to buy. All of your product description pages will not be in the shopping cart. The shopping cart pages were not built to be indexed. They exist only so the customer can buy the product. The search engines will index all of our important pages because they will be built in standard HTML. Do not allow any developer to place any extensions on your important pages like asp, cgi, or ? symbols.
