Only showing a list of links to products (dropping all the nice user-orientated stuff like prices and images) is one way to do that. Yet another way would be to have smaller categories, perhaps using sub-categories, thereby keeping the individual listing length to a minimum. You could completely side-step the whole issue and produce some pages that only list links to products. If you manually submit those pages to the search engines with "noindex,follow,noarchive" in <meta robots> then the listing pages won't be indexed, but the target pages will. There's always more than one way to do it. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ suppressed _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
