	We can't reproduce the problem when running recent versions of ProductCart. Maybe it was an issue in one of the first few versions of that feature? We are talking about several years ago, and that feature has been improved substantially over time. If you used the latest code, for example, ProductCart would automatically be adding a Canonical URL to each page, and the Canonical URL would contain the correct address to the page. So that alone would fix the issue. You should update the store to the latest version, but if you don't want to do so, you should at least compare the files that deal with the Keyword Rich URLs and synchronize them with the latest version so that the Canonical URL is properly added.

	We love to update the store to the latest version but we have made so many changes to the old code that any major updates will require significant amount of time to convert over. Is there an easier way to add Canonical URL to each generated product page under v3.51b.

	I know I am replying to this late but there is a way to break even the new SEO URLs. http://demos.productcart.com/demos.productcart.com/demos/standard/pc/Automotive-tool-industrial-c81.htm It is by adding a directory to the URL. I found this when checking my stats and keyword searches and noticing google was indexing my site weird. Obviously I have a bad link somewhere that I can't find. To fix this I created a 301 redirect in ISS. Not a big deal since it is caused by bad links and it has an easy work around. Just thought I'd point it out.
