    I do pretty good with OSCommerce, but it took a few modifications to get it more search engine friendly. The other slight problem is that the pages are tables, would do better with css, which I could probably change. Out of the box, it's not that great. But it is open source and has a huge community with plenty of mods.

    I guess I am not too much help, just my experience with what I use, so if you run across it, you'll have some idea about it.

      I agree, there is no questions Magento is amazing at SEO but there are a lot of things you need to do to optimize your SEO in Magento.

    X-cart has a lot of SEO features. Volusion also.

    You will notice, however, that the search engines are putting less emphasis on meta tags and more on back linking. I have got sites to the top of the search engines with minimum on-page SEO and a good back linking strategy in competitive keywords with great success.

    So I suggest you focus on building backlinks, one way links are even better.

    I have also heard some good thinks about Presta Shop. You can check them out. As of OScommerce, they got a really large community backing it up and is a good start, however, in my opinion Presta shop has more features to toy with and is easy to customize.

      Prestashop is great unless you intend to accept payments. This is literally the ONLY Ecom package that charges you a ton of $$$ to add payment modules, which are free on Zencart, Magento etc.

      Link > Payment module for PrestaShop

      Do some serious checking around before spending a ton of time setting up your ecom site and finding out you've got to spend money on much needed addons. Not much fun having a site with great SEO and no way to accept payments...

    Try Zencart, it is much better than OSCommerce. I used to have OSCommerce, but they didn't update the software in years and very tedious to install plugins.
