How to get traffic for Site with PriceTapestry

Submitted by kaqfa on Wed, 2018-01-10 06:48 in

Hello,
I have made site using wordpress & pricetapestry. There are around 100k+ products on the site. It has been running around 2 weeks.
I check on google and it said that Google has only indexed 17 pages, with only small amount of product indexed.
My question is,
1. How to get indexed by Google? I have already submit the sitemap to Web Search Console Google.
2. How to get traffic from Google without Adword?

Hi there and welcome to the forum!

If you want to focus on product page indexing, make sure that you have a robots.txt file in place - there is an example in the distribution (robots.txt.dist) which disallows everything except the product pages and the merchant index pages. This is because the merchant index pages (from Merchant A-Z) provide a route for search engines to every product page on the site.

You could also consider enabling compression if supported by your PHP installation - to do this, add the following line to the very top of html/header.php:

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

Also have a think about using image caching with resize, especially if many of your merchant's images are large, and this also prevents the browser from having to make multiple DNS lookups and additional HTTP connections which all helps with page speed...

Cheers,
David.
