It is suggested to use SEO-friendly URLs for product and categories, instead of default ones. Default URLs contain GET parameters (e.g. index.php?rt=product/category&path=68) that search engines ignore. To activate SEO URLs, log in to your AbanteCart admin area and go to the System → Settings → System section. Toggle the Use SEO URL's switch to On position and save.
