Hello techlectics, Great idea! Do you mean like this:
Category templates – &mvt:store:name;:&mvt:global:metacategoryfieldcache:fields:title;:&mvt:category:name;

Product Templates – &mvt:store:name;: &mvt:global:metaproductfieldcache:fields:title;:&mvt:product:name;

Make sure you register your site in google. It shows you if you have duplicate title or other meta tags. This allows you to make the changes in order for all of your pages to get indexed.

They’ve got to be there somewhere. Are you saying that your installation is fully updated (meaning in the bottom left of the left column nav it reads “Up To Date”, and that you clicked your store name and still do not see them? If you’re sure they’re not there, feel free to hop in an online chat through our site, http://www.aarcmediagroup.com/ (it should be in the right column here as well, and whoever answers the chat can hop in your install and take a look if that makes it easier.

I am running 5.06 and cannot find Meta tag Settings under edit store per step 1 of this process. I would love to implement this SEO tip.

Thanks for this tip, I didn’t even know this feature existed. I made a slight change to your suggestion, I placed the new meta field between the original meta fields. The result is that the text in the new title field is placed between the product title and store name. If the title field is empty then the title remains unchanged.

…more like a hand-drawn sign, written in crayon

I can understand the behavior and the lack of understanding overall, but what boggles my mind is when someone has a domain, hosting and on top of it all a killer website, yet they still use that surfboardking99@yahoo.com email.

I know one of the big hangups is ties into the fact that many people either aren’t savvy enough to hook up Outlook, Outlook Express or Thunderbird locally on their computers (even though we’d walk them through that process for free as part of their hosting support if they hosted with us).

Another thing is that they REALLY, don’t like the average webmail systems that come with most hosting accounts. We offer both Horde, SquirrelMail and another one that is slipping my mind at the moment free with all hosting accounts, but honestly, their interface can’t compete with the FREE email systems out there that are ad based like Yahoo, Gmail and those others.

So I was overly critical in my rant, but if any store owner reads this and still doesn’t change their evil ways….shame on them.

People who are used to the gmail interface can even continue to use it via it’s POP3 settings with their new, more professional email address.

Unfortunately, a large number of online store owners are pros in their niche, but not tech people, so they miss a lot of important details like this. They’ve also been programmed to think the Internet is free or cheap, so they don’t invest much in their online stores, including getting the tech help they need.

To me, using a hotmail or yahoo email address for business is like having a hand-drawn sign outside a retail store.
