Here are 3 reasons why SEO friendly carts are the way to go.

1. They increase traffic. When you build a free website, you need to attract visitors in order to start moving your product. This is where the "SEO" part of the equation comes in. By using a shopping cart that's been optimized, you'll increase your page ranking, which will boost your placement in search engine results, which will ultimately lead to more visitors to your website. The best shopping carts will automatically generate, but also allow you to edit, the following: titles, meta-tags, name pages, and alt-tags. In addition, they will include breadcrumbs, be coded so that they are compatible with all browsers, and allow incorporate your own free domain name into their URLs.
2. Faster indexing. The more optimized your ecommerce website is, the more likely it is that search engine spiders will put your website on their "visit" schedule. That means that they will regularly scout out your website for new content, which in turn means that when you add a new product to your website, that product will show up in search engine results in a matter of hours instead of weeks. Rapid indexing is a key goal of every entrepreneur who sets out to build a free website, and SEO friendly shopping carts will help.
3. They are easier both for you and for your visitors. Designing a shopping cart from scratch can take months even for experienced coders, and if this is your first time trying to build your own website for free, then you'll have an incredibly difficult time. And as it turns out, the end result is usually unlikely to be fully optimized unless you also employ an SEO expert. By using a ready-made cart for your business website, you can skip that labor intensive work and get to what's really important—selling your products. At the same time, many of these prebuilt carts are easier to use for visitors, featuring simple, elegant designs that not only make it easy for users to navigate and purchase your products, but also allow your webpage to load faster.

Through use of an SEO friendly shopping cart, you'll be able to build your own website into a cash cow in no time. If you choose carts carefully, the end result will be increased page views, visitors, and sales, faster search engine indexing, and increased customer satisfaction: not bad for the simple addition of a bit of code to your website.
