Magento is one of the most search engine friendly e-commerce platforms straight out of the box, but there are several known issues that can be taken care of to optimize your Magento SEO. The first step is to get the most recent release. Then, to get started, enable Server URL rewrites. You will find this setting under System => Configuration => Web => Search Engines Optimization. Another good thing to configure now you are on this screen is “Add store Code to Urls” under “Url Options”. In most cases it is better to set this functionality to “No”.

1.1. WWW vs non-WWW

Under “Unsecure” and “Secure” you can find the Base URL, where you can set the preferred domain. You can choose between the www and the non-www version of the URL. With changing the setting you don’t create a redirect from www to non-www or non-www to www but set only the preferred one. Therefore it is a good idea to create a 301 redirect through .htaccess with mod_rewrite. When editing the .htaccess file you can add the following code to redirect index.php to root.
Around line 119:


RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /index.php HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/ [R=301,L]


Or, when your Magento install is not in the root but in the sub-directory http://www.mydomain.com/magento/:


RewriteBase /magento/ RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /magento/index.php HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/magento/ [R=301,L]


2. Header Settings

By default your Magento install has the title “Magento Commerce”. For your Magento shop to get the traffic it deserves you should keep at your mind:
• Search engines put more weight on the early words, so if your keywords are near the start of the page title you are more likely to rank well.
• People scanning result pages see the early words first. If your keywords are at the start of your listing your page is more likely to get clicked on.
First of all you should get rid off the default title “Magento Commerce”. Go to Configuration => Design => HTML Head. Choose a good and descriptive title for your website. This title will be used for several non-content pages without custom title, e.g. “Contact Us” and the “Popular Search Terms”.
To add your store name to all page titles, including categories and products, put your store name in “Title Suffix”. It is a better idea to keep the Prefix empty, for the reasons mentioned above. Also keep “Default Description” and “Default Keywords” empty. For a non-production environment, to prevent indexing of the site, it may be useful to set “Default Robots” to “NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” but for all other applications make sure it is set to “INDEX, FOLLOW”.
Now we are optimizing the of your web-store pages it is a good idea to add the new canonical tag. You can install the Canonical URL’s for Magento Module to add them to your head and improve your Magento SEO.
For some reason Magento turns non-set meta robots into a meta tag in this style:

This can result in some very strange behavior in the search engines, so we’ll remove it. To remove this empty metas from your code you can install the Yoast MetaRobots Module.

3. CMS Pages

At first sight Magento may lack some descent CMS functionality, but for most uses it will be flexible and powerful enough. Once you’ve given each CMS page some decent content, pick a SEF URL Identifier and page title, (while keeping in mind the points under 1.2), and go to the Meta Data tab to write a description for each CMS page that you actually want to rank with.
You can keep the “Keywords” empty. The description has one very important function: enticing people to click, so make sure it states what’s in the page they’re clicking towards, and that it gets their attention.
If you don’t use the meta description, the search engine will find the keyword searched for in your document, and automatically pick a string around that, which gives you a bolded word or two in the results page.

4. Category optimization

Magento gives you the ability to add the name of categories to path for product URL’s. Because Magento doesn’t support this functionality very well – it creates duplicate content issues. To disable this, go to System => Configuration => Catalog => Search Engine Optimization and set “Use categories path for product URL’s to “no”.
Now it’s time to set the details for each category. Go to Catalog => Manage Categories. The most important fields are:
• Meta Description: put an attractive description here; Keep in mind that people will see the description in the result listings of search engines.
• Page Title: keep this empty to use the category name including parents categories. When you customize it, the title will be exactly like your input, without the parent category.
• URL Key: try to keep a short but keyword rich URL. Removing stop words like “the”, “and”, “for” etc. is usually a good idea. Also note that you can set this only for all store views, for a multi-language store you should keep it language independent.
For each store view you can specify the Name, Description, Page Title and Meta data. For multi-language stores this is really a great feature.

5. Products optimization

Optimization of the Products pages is similar to Categories. An often-overlooked aspect of Magento SEO is how you handle your images. By for instance writing good alt tags for images and thinking of how you name the image files, you can get a nice bit of extra traffic from the different image search engines.
By default the images will be renamed to the product title, the same for titles and alt tags. With some extra effort you can set the titles and alt tags for each product image. Under the tab “Images” of the Product Information you can set the label for each product image, this value will be used for the alt and title tag. You can do this for each specified Store View.

Intel is also heavily reliant on Vietnam to meet its outsourcing needs. In October of 2006, Intel Capital, the unit involved in venture capital for the Intel Corporation, announced a $3.5 million investment in FPT, Vietnam’s largest software company, located in Hanoi. Earlier in that same year, the company said that it was going to build a factory for chip assembly and testing with a price tag of $300 million (San Jose Mercury News, “Intel Invests in Vietnam Software Company, October 24, 2006).

Other companies that have chosen to outsource to Vietnam include Nortel Networks, Bayer, Sony, Cisco, and Anheuser Bush (source: CIO.com, “Outsourcing to Vietnam”).

Vietnam has a population of over 90 million people and over 60% of the population is under 30 years of age. The young generation of skilled workers is highly motivated and technologically advanced.  This dynamic generation provides a great pool of skilled software developers required to meet the growing demand of offshore development. Each year more than 25,000 technical engineers graduate from the universities. Young Vietnamese with better education have already overcome the English language barrier that was believed as a weakness earlier. These are few of the reasons that make Vietnamese one of the best communities that’s globally competitive and technically advanced.

With a robust economy, that has an unbelievable growth rate; Vietnam is considered to be a dynamic nation with great outsourcing potential. With a stable and secure government, it is now considered as a legitimate nation under one roof. In an international survey taken in 2002, Vietnam was the safest country to travel in Asia. Government of Vietnam is promoting its economy for more foreign investment. It offers great incentives in the IT industry in order to capitalize on globalization.

Companies have started to capitalize this great opportunity of outsourcing to Vietnam with low cost and exceptional quality. Vietnam is on its way to write a new chapter in the history of outsourcing software development. The world will be watching this new revolution in offshore development happening in Vietnam. As an emerging software outsourcing destination, Vietnam will be a perfect fit for companies looking for a technological advance without having to spend a lot of money.

3. Who outsources to Vietnam?

When Microsoft’s video game unit began looking to offshore some work in 2002, Vietnam was hardly an obvious choice. But after a fact-finding team returned from an Asia-wide tour including stops in India, China, and South Korea, a small outfit named Glass Egg Digital in Ho Chi Minh City was a top contender. After successfully completing a pilot project designing 3-D racing cars used on the Forza Motorsport game installed in every Xbox console, Glass Egg’s relationship with Microsoft (MSFT) has steadily grown.

Today, Glass Egg Digital designs most of the 330 different models in Forza Motorsport 2. Not only do the digital Lamborghinis, Maseratis, and Mercedes look and handle on screen exactly like the real thing, but equally important, they look just as convincing as crumpled wrecks after collisions.

Next up, Microsoft is planning to contract out the considerably more demanding task of creating the tracks and cities through which its cars race. “Today we work on a massive scale [with Glass Egg],” says Nick Dimitrov, senior business manager at Microsoft Game Studios. “We have pretty much put them through the grinder on QA [quality assurance] compliance, and we couldn’t be happier.”

Selling to the Masters

He’s not the only one singing Glass Egg’s praises. “They have done some fantastic stuff for us,” says Brian Woodhouse, executive producer at Bizarre Creations in Liverpool which outsourced the creation of digital gas masks, telecom towers, and statues that get shot up in a gun-lovers’ game called CLUB under development for Sega.

Glass Egg’s client roster now includes Electronic Arts (ERTS), Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SNE), Codemasters, and Atari (ATAR). Founded in 1995 by Vietnamese-American Phil Tran as a 2-D production studio, Digital Glass Egg has seen revenues grow 50% in the past two years. The company declined to give exact numbers but says sales this year will be just under $5 million.

Glass Egg is by no means the only Vietnamese company carving out a niche in software outsourcing. Crosstown rival Alive Interactive, also with a U.S. founder, has excelled in car design, while software developer TMA Solutions, founded by Canadian-Vietnamese Nguyen Huu Le does work for Nortel (NT), Comsys, and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU).

Intel Planning Plant

Homegrown Vietnamese companies are gaining momentum too. The country’s largest outsourcing outfit is a division of Hanoi-based IT company FPT Corp., which just garnered a $36.5 million investment from private equity firm Texas Pacific and Intel Capital.

Further proof of Vietnam’s potential are the ringing endorsements the country has received from some of IT’s biggest names. In March, Intel (INTC) Chairman Craig Barrett visited Vietnam to unveil plans for a $600 million chip testing and assembly plant (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/13/06, “Good Morning, Vietnam”). Intel subsequently bumped up the figure to $1 billion.

In April, Bill Gates was greeted like a rock star by some 7,000 students at Hanoi University of Technology where he talked about his vision of IT in Vietnam. Nonetheless, the country faces some big obstacles if it is to become an IT outsourcing hot spot. Internet connections can be painfully slow since there is no fiber-optic broadband network. The staff at Glass Egg often stay up half the night in order to upload and download files.

Lost on the Map

Another drawback is the lack of fluent English speakers, though clients say this problem is minimal as most communication is via e-mail. Helping balance out these deficiencies are the country’s low wages—programmers earn about one-tenth what computer programmers make in the U.S.—a young and highly motivated workforce, and low staff turnover rates of about 5%.

With software and IT exports of just $70 million last year, tiny Vietnam is never going to eclipse India, which logged $17.7 billion in high-tech shipments in 2007. Indeed, for many multinationals looking to outsource this kind of work, the country doesn’t even figure on the map.

“One disadvantage of being here is that some people think we work in rice paddies and little grass huts,” says Glass Egg Chief Operating Officer Charles Speyer. Nothing could be further from the truth. Glass Egg’s 140 employees toil in state-of-the-art facilities just a mile from Ho Chi Minh City’s international airport in E-Town, Vietnam’s first high-rise dedicated to high-tech clients.

Mastering the Background Arts

The company’s big challenge will be keeping its edge over China. “Ultimately China will beat us on cost,” says Steve Reid, a Glass Egg business development manager. “If we want to be in business in five years, we have to move up the value chain.” For his company, that means mastering the technically more demanding task of environment design.

Reid says its first attempt, working with Electronic Arts to create an imaginary Middle Eastern background for EA’s Battlefield 2 war game was a huge learning experience for both companies. Turning out sleek driving machines is a snap, says Reid, compared to the challenge of portraying rusted tanks, bombed-out mosques, and water-stained walls.

India is reputed for providing knowledgeable and skilful IT workers to many international companies working in the IT industry. Rohit Talwar, an Indian senior business advisor for international corporations investing in India said that outsourcing is still a major earner for India and is tied to the development of its IT sector. Nevertheless the country needs to pay more attention to emerging competitors, such as developing countries in Eastern Europe, Africa and other countries in Asia, like Vietnam and Pakistan.

In his presentation for the seminar, Nguyen Ha Phi, and IT expert who works in Silicon Valley in the US reaffirmed the issue. Phi said that the emergence of Vietnam in the IT sector has caused India to take note.

With rapid economic development, as well as opening access to the world IT market, Vietnam could develop its human resources in this field to compete with other countries, especially with India.

According to Phi, Vietnamese students learn new technologies as quickly as US students or students from more advanced countries. However, strategic thinking in tackling different tasks encountered is a problem for Vietnamese workers in any field.

Phi also said that knowledge outsource has become a real demand and a new trend of IT in the world. Vietnamese IT workers should grab the opportunities to develop their knowledge on working in the field to win in the competition to attract more customers for outsourcing projects.

Phi warned that to pull in outsourced projects is not a simple matter, as the country needs to have strong human resources as well as to gain client confidence. If Vietnam can do this, it would be a very good way for the country’s IT sector to develop as it is a highly profitable business.

There is a great demand on IT engineers working in patching mistakes in software packages. Phi said that patching software is better paid than software development itself.

Currently analysis of India’s outsource attraction has stopped short, and it is time for other emergent IT markets to grow and attract more customers.

Phi advised that for Vietnam to develop its IT sector, then it is necessary to raise the quality of its human resources, which would then help the country to develop services.

• Emerging 30 Years Later
  April 30th, 2005 marked the 30th anniversary of the end to the Vietnam War…Have things changed? Today, Vietnam has one of the most enviable economic growth rates in the world. In the last 30 years Vietnam, a country the size of Italy with a population the size of Germany has one of the most enviable economic growth rates in the world. Interestingly, over 60% of the population is under the age of 30, which means that most of the people living in Vietnam today are too young to remember the fighting.
• Mixing Old and New
  Hanoi today is a bustling city of 3.5 million, where the mixture of old and new is in constant evolution. One of the first sights to strike the first time traveler here is the amount of rubble piled in seeming random patterns around stacks of new brick – the amount of new growth construction can only be described as astounding. New streets, new office complexes and new homes are going up everywhere one looks in this key industrial and government center. Vietnamese tend to invest in land because of an old wariness of banks, driving up land prices and fueling a building boom.
• A Global Competitor
  With the characteristic energy of youth, this young nation is pushing hard to build a future where Vietnam is a global competitor-and America is a top trading partner. One area in particular is in providing outsourcing services to American businesses looking for faster, better, cheaper ways to make their products from apparel manufacturing to clerical support centers, from software development services to contract computer product manufacturing to integrated circuit production. Outsourcing to an overseas company may not be appropriate for every situation, but when it does, clearly the Vietnamese want to prove that they have the capability to be a worthy business partner.
• Opportunity Arrives
  Partnering with industry, the Vietnamese government is making a big push to expand their economy out of deep impoverishment at the end of the American/Vietnam war; encouraging significant investments in education, transportation, housing, and technology. Over the last several years, significant reforms, including a wide-ranging trade agreement with the US and the promise of World Trade Organization membership in 2006, have caught the attention of those looking for capable off-shore partners and foreign investments, now exceeding $30 billion. The partnership between government and industry provides important impetus to this thrust. Industrial growth has been constant at 15% annually for many years, and similar examples of extraordinary growth can be found in telecommunications and road systems. Wireless Internet cafes are popping up everywhere and everyone has a mobile phone, not unexpected in a society of thirty-somethings.
• Competition on the Rise
  The Vietnamese are determined to challenge their much larger, older, and better financed competitors (India and China). Economic growth has averaged 7-8% annually for the past 8 years, earning good profits for an increasing number of private and public Vietnamese firms. Considering the state that the country was in following the war, Vietnam’s emergent growth can only be considered spectacular.
• Modern Infrastructure
  As with many emerging economies, Vietnam will leap-frog the telecommunications and computing infrastructure of 30 years ago-jumping directly into advanced fiber optic cabling and wireless capabilities. And, many of the globally largest corporations have taken notice of the investment. More and more high-technology production is moving to Vietnam. Several multi-national companies such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Infosys have well established contracts manufacturing computers, printers, and components. These companies are in Vietnam because of the quality of the products produced here.
• A Capitalistic Attitude
  One might ask how this is possible under a communist government. Well, although the government is led by the Communist Party, the government has provided tax incentives, much like non-communist governments do, to encourage development of technology based companies and workers. Perhaps the best thing fueling their growth is the capitalistic attitude of the people. Examples of free enterprise abound, and are sanctioned and actively encouraged by this government. Of course, to make money, takes money, and the Vietnamese government has shrewdly bolstered the financial infrastructure.
• Language Fluency
  Another key attribute fueling Vietnam’s growth, is its multiple language fluency. As is common in much of Asia, many Vietnamese speak multiple languages fluently, and English is often a second (or third) language of choice; making it mildly easy for a non-Vietnamese speaking American to make himself understood. And these are just a few of the clear signs that Vietnamese society is becoming more educated, more technically capable, and more globally competitive. If outsourcing technology products and services makes good business sense, than take a close look at Vietnam. here.
