Bruce from Phosphor Media mentioned it earlier in the thread. If you're
using Merchant Optimizer you can exclude the search engines from indexing
the Merchant directory. In my case, I already had an email conversation
with Bruce and the outcome I decided was to add an exclusion to my
robots.txt file (see if you can find the line):
www.sausagesource.com/robots.txt
I also have my .htaccess file pointing to the index.html in the Merchant
Optimizer page, so when a customer goes to the site, they're automatically
seeing the Merchant Optimizer pages until they check out or use the search
pages that will put browsing users into dynamic pages.
