Notas do Editor
- This seminar assumes you have some SEO knowledgeIf you have any questions please contact see my after the presentation or on Stand – E2100In the seminar is some great tips for those of you that are thinking about having an ecommerce site, and thoseOf you who already have one
- Users prefer small businesses as they have a more personal touchEliminates costs as customer taken straight to the product (staff, lighting, etc, overheads)
- Is the support reliable?Do you have access to edit content, meta, HTML etc? Can you get to the root of the server?Can you get access to the hosting account, do you have control over the server?Does the system create duplication issues due to the way it has been builtDedicated servers are better as you have more control over the technologyCan you change the information layout (i.e. URL, etc)Some systems are inherently more SEO friendly than others
- Planning is the key to a successful website.The main things to think about are keyword research, your competition and the structure of your siteIs it ecommerce platform SEO friendly to begin with?
- You should know your products, you need to discover what people are searching for onlineThink about keywords for the whole store not just the top levels of the siteKeyword research should be completed on categories and sub categories
- These are some of the great tools to useSome are free some are not
- Be realistic you know which keywords aren’t achievable, you should know your businessThe keyword difficulty tool from SEOMOZ is a great marker for how difficult it is to achieve.Use tools to discover more longtail keywords for each category
- Home page rankinggenerally means the site is nicheInner pages mean it is a service they offer on the siteUse yahoo site explorer to check internal and external links to the pageDoes the content optimised i.e keyword density OK, keyword in a header tag
- Are they pushing this page, is there lots of content on the siteHow old is the site, Google trusts older websites.How many external links does the page haveIs the content on the site optimisedAre they writing blogs to improve internal linking
- Site taxonomy is information layoutReview your keyword list and traffic to decide on landing pages for the siteFor example the following pages would be made for a television site as there are lots of searchesToo often SEO pages are bolted onto the siteThey should form part of the site plan from the beginning
- Site selling televisionsTelevisions are just listed by brands, losing out on all other searches such as size, type and combinations of themThis site will lose out on traffic for all other searches
- Now you have your keywords and landing pagesMap keywords to pages in ExcelThink about relevancy and always include the main keyword firstThis will also provide you with the title, description and keywords for each page (meta data)As well as the content to add to the page
- More links a page has the more strengthNon important pages should be consolidated, i.e. Privacy policy, about us, etcThis can be achieved by adding the links to a company information pagePeople used to use the nofollow attribute to sculpt Page Rank, this no longer worksTo combat this use clever site design to pass strength to the right places
- Many ecommerce sites are flooded with links, due to heavy internal linkingSports Direct used to link to all categories and sub categories on the main site template, this lead to the template flooding with linksThis can be fixed by dynamic navigationGood example above from Sports DirectTry to ensure the template has less than 150 internal links as a rule
- Some sub categories have more search volume than othersThese pages should have more internal linksThe buckets indicate how this can be visualised
- The find it quick section on www.ideasbynet.comDeep links top searched sub categoriesPasses PageRank to these important pagesUses researched keywords for linksHas been built for SEO Purposes
- Duplicate content due to filters and paginated resultsSome websites can have lots of combinationsi.e colour, size, price etc.Can create hundreds of pages of duplicate contentThis clogs up Google’s index of the site, and Google can get confused as to what was the original page
- Fix duplicate content by flattening the product URLsOnly 1 link for users to link toRedirecting duplicate pages moves any link juice to the main product pageThe URL is more relevant for someone searching for a productNoindex follow ensures no duplicate content but the product links are all indexed.If you block paginated results and filters in robots.txt you need a view all pageThis ensures that the products can still be indexed and that they are all not blankThe view all page cannot contain duplicate content
- Rewriting the product descriptions could take foreverIt Is very boringInternal reviews can be falseExternal review systems are more trustedJust Search partner with Feefo, they email your customers and add reviews to the siteThese reviews are real and are known to increase conversions by 30%Also improves Google product search as there is more information on each product page

- Contact webmasters of other relevant sites, offer something in returnUse mini sites such as blogger, wordpress to link back to main site, make sure content is uniquePush new products on Facebook and Twitter and Google merchantUse contacts such as business partners, suppliers, clients etc for links
