    I have been doing SEO for many years and specialize in ecommerce solutions. Unfortunatley with Zen Cart your possibilities are limited with getting actual results in google. A short answere for why is due to the programming. If I were you, I would use a different solution that is much more search engine friendly.
    Zen Cart also has issues with conversions and ease of use for the admin area.

    Explain what you mean ease of use for the admin area?
    Are you trying to say that its hackable?
    Also, I don`t know how much you know about ZenCart or OsCommerce, but
    they are search engine friendly "Giving that you do have to put in some
    extra work to some of the files.
    I don`t think eguru has any problems indexing his pages as far as I
    know he indexed about 1495 pages. What he needs to work on is Ranking
    and fixing a few things on his web site.

    Nikole, Of course the title doesn`t change in a dynamic page, but the
    title is not the only thing that going to push you to the top of the search engines,  you have
    to take other factors in to consideration: Descriptions, Robot. txt,
    Sitemap, and The biggest thing that I don`t see people doing (bolding
    their keywords) If the title was the only thing that it takes in to
    consideration? why is he indexing 15 something pages? The title is the
    same the content is not. Again, SEO is a topic to talk about and we can
    sit here for hours trying to figure out who`s right and who`s wrong.
    The truth of it is :Zen Cart and OScommerce can be optimized again
    there`s 25 pages you have to tweak to get your results.

    acquisition your added pages by afterward links from your homepage to
    anniversary product. It doesn`t amount that these pages are dynamic.

    One thing to consider that might be a help in the event that you are still concerned. Zen Cart is profoundly proficient approach to store those items, however in the event that regardless you need some static site pages, you could include some front pages in HTML, with a connection to the store part of your site. Since I have articles and free assets on my site, and additionally the book shop, this is the thing that I have done. I have found however that individuals hit on both parts of my webpage similarly from Google and Yahoo.I utilize Zen Cart on my independently publishing site, and it has been an immense accomplishment for me. Many individuals have hit specifically on my book shop (the Zen Cart partition) from internet searchers, as indicated by my website insights, which lets me know that Zen Cart works incredible for SEO.
