firstly your url's need to be Search Engine Friendly
http://www.abetterworld.co.uk/index.php/sku/KB1220
this will enable search engines to spider it. Some search engines don't like
?sku=KB1220
Then you need to ensure that when the search engines find a description of
the product and hence allow anyone searching for it to find it.
Dynamically create a description from the description in the database.
eg
7 in. Buff polished, plain edged blade with an black Epoxy powder coated
high carbon steel, made of 1095 steel Oval handles constructed of compacted
leather disks, smoothed and polished. 11.88 in. Overall length. Comes with
brown leather US Army sheath.
There are numerous ways to do this. Personally I would use the existing
description and query the database for each product and category and then
place this within the keywords, title etc.
You shouldn't need to make many changes to the existing databases in order
to do this. The changes will take place in the template or php script.
I wouldn't have thought it would be a huge task.
See http://www.weddingworld.co.uk and how each category has different
keywords and descriptions.
