			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With the rampant rise in the use of the internet, search engine optimization has become a must for website promotion, internet marketing, social media optimization and ecommerce activity as well. Ecommerce has grown complex in use with its rising popularity. To avoid the hurdles of using ecommerce sites, a number of search engine friendly shopping carts have emerged. I have assorted the best five of shopping carts for your benefit. These carts are optimizable with SEO measures to be in tune with search engines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among open source shopping cart, <strong>OpenCart </strong> is search engine friendly. Installing and configuring this shopping cart is remarkably easy. The front end features an impeccably beautiful layout. It comes with such payment gateway options as Paypal, Worldpay and Sagepay. It takes only half an hour to install the cart and display products. The back end of the cart is intuitively designed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>PrestaShop</strong> is a lightweight and scalable shopping cart. It comes with a great support forum for online shopping. Installing and configuring the cart takes a little while. Uploading this cart takes a bit longer time than other carts. The layout of the back end features a brilliant design. It is easy to manage with a wad of features. Creating categories and categorizing products is highly convenient. Activating a setting in the admin generates search engine friendly URLs for the shopping cart.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Magento</strong> is supposed to determine the future of ecommerce. It is simply beautiful in layout with quality design. Loading the site after installing is efficient save a few pages are slow to load. Though this ecommerce shopping cart is in tune with search engines, its site performance is poor. Multiple URLs per products is a negative aspect of Magento. This cart is available in free versions for the use of mass in millions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cubecart</strong> is all the rage as a search engine friendly shopping cart. It is absolutely hassle free to install this cart. It is fairly fast in loading. However, lack of some functional features that other shopping carts come with is a negative facet of Cubecart. It is a free ecommerce site for online shopping. Cubecart comes with a great community because of its outstanding performance. But the back end is far from being impressive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To name among very good SEO friendly shopping carts is Ubercart. Drupal CMS is the base of this shopping cart. It facilitates integrating online shopping functionality with ecommerce sites. If considered from a SEO perspective, it offers several benefits. Installing the Drupal CMS is the only drawback of using this cart. It offers users manual control over each and every file.</p>
