Search Friendly Image Galleries and Shopping Carts

Most Joomla image gallery extensions are not indexible by search engines. That's a waste of potentially rankable real estate! The system I teach makes it easy for right-brained artists or overwhelmed small business owners to add images and/or products to their site in a way that grows their sitemap and pings Google Webmaster Tools to improve their ranking. The components needed are Phoca Gallery, XMAP and Simple Caddy if a shopping cart is needed. Don't let your clients be Dead on the Web™!
