Sure, it works fine.
 
http://www.gpsandmarineworld.com/ is a very stock 3.11 site with the SEO mod, and the "home page in the root" mod.  if you copy (into the root) the SEO versions of homecode.asp, pcShowProductH.asp, pcShowProductL, pcShowProductM and pcShowProductP, then alter them to support their presence at that location, it all works just fine.  BTW, once this is done, you can rename home.asp to index.asp or default.asp according to your preferences.
 
BTW, if you use the AJAX product preview, be sure to follow this article which allows you to maintain the use of that feature in the home page http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/move_home_page_retain_ajax

QUESTION ABOUT CONFLICT IF HOME.ASP WAS MOVED TO ROOT

I have already moved the home.asp file to the root. In the process i edited a lot of files as indicated the the product cart manual. Most of the files that were modified as the same files that are included in the 404 static pages fro version 3.11. In that case what would be the best course of action?

Should I just replace my current files with 404 static pages and then follow the instructions  to home home.asp to root directory all over again?

It should be fine.  The way to demonstrate this is to look at the files listed on the support page (the post 3.11 fixes) and you should not find any conflicts between those and the SEO-mod files.

I have version 3.12. Can the early impact admin confirm that the 3.11 SEO mod for static pages will work on my version 3.12?

3.12 is only 3.11 plus the various scripts that are listed in the "just in" section of the site.  I don't recall seeing any overlap, and believe it's just fine to use the 3.11 SEO mod with 3.12.
 
Someone might correct me but I'm fairly certain about this.

First of all, I just want to say thank you for creating this modification for ProductCart! Search engine friendly URLs are the best. I wish this just came standard with ProductCart! The 404 method seems to work really well.

One problem I ran into was that the content pages aren't search engine friendly, though, so I made some modifications that would enable this functionality.

As far as I know, this mod should work for the ProductCart 3.11 version (with parent paths enabled). Just extract and replace over existing files (after making backups).

This mod only works for direct links to content pages. I didn't modify any of the automated navigation generation scripts, so if you want that functionality, you'll need to figure it out.

P.S. Any word on a 3.12 compatible version of the search engine friendly mod?

hi, I've set everything up as per instructions. I've uploaded the 3.11b version of files, and I'm using Productcart BTO 3.11b. The categories are now static SEO friendly pages, but the BTO products are not, and when typing in the SEO friendly static URL for that BTO product it loads it up but redirects to ConfigurePrd.asp?idproduct etc....you can have a look here: http://tinyurl.com/57k978. Any ideas anyone?....Pleeeease!

The ASP pages must remain available. For example: when going back to the product details page from the "View Cart" page, ProductCart passes back information on options attributes that had been selected or input fields that had been filled out.

A couple of "to do" items:
- Replace all internal links so that they use the HTM pages
- Replace all incoming links that you have control on
- Use the updated Control Panel tools to create a store map and site map that use the new URLs
- Submit the new sitemap to Google and other search engines, making sure the previous one is replaced by the new sitemap.

Don't overestimate the "duplicate content penalty". See above on this same topic.
