Good search engine optimization strategy is needed for anyone hoping to have a successful e-commerce website. E-commerce is a cut throat business and you need to have the know-how and tools to make your site better than the rest. As more and more sites are being added to the world wide web the battle to get your website's ranking high is a constant and ongoing battle. Let your guard down and you might get trampled on and left in the abyss of failed e-commerce sites. Most people who use search engines to find something only bother to look at the top ten search results on the first page. And therefore, the search engine optimization strategy is to get your website listed on the first page, and in the top 3 slots, if at all possible. You will get a much higher click rate to your website if you rank high. And the more traffic to your site, the more business for you. Let's say that only 1 out of every 100 customers who comes to your site buys something. If you get only 100 customers a day, you're only making one sale. But if you are using a search engine optimization strategy and are on the first page of the search engine results, your customer traffic will be HUGE, and so will your sales. A search engine optimization strategy requires a lot of work to be fully realized. There are many aspects you need to consider and work on. This includes getting information on the keyword phrases that are popular with your niche, while finding the ones that are high in searches but low in website search results. Sound confusing? It is only if you're new to it. But once you understand what keywords are and how it use them, it's a piece of cake. One you figure out what keyword phrases to use, you'll need to write your website content using those keywords. There are certain rules and guidelines to be followed in order to get your site to rank high in the search engines. Your keywords need to be in the headline, the first opening paragraph (preferably at the beginning of the sentence), and sprinkled through your article. Some people say your keyword should make up between 2-5% of your overall text. Again, it sounds more confusing the it really is. You will also need to get other sites to link to yours. And not just any sites will do, you should be trying to get high ranking sites to link to yours. Think of it as a popularity contest - your website is viewed as more valuable by the search engines if your website has lots of sites linking to it. Outbound likes are useful too. But both inbound and outbound links need to be relevant to your site's topic. If you can part with some money, there are many sites on the internet that can help you in your search engine optimization strategy. There are sites that help in finding keyword phrases for your site. There are also good content writers that have lots of experience in writing keyword rich articles. If you don't have the money, learn how to do it yourself. Either way, having a search engine optimization strategy in place will result in much more traffic and higher sales for your company.
