Link Structure<\/span><\/h2>\n

1.<\/strong><\/span> Use SEO Friendly URLs which contain the important keywords of each product or category.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong><\/span> Choose carefully your categories and use a tree-like link structure.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> <\/span>Prefer the \u201cexample.com\/product1\u201d URL structure over the \u201cexample.com\/cat1\/procuct1\u201d structure if you have multiple categorization<\/strong>. The second one can create duplicate content issues.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong><\/span> Link directly from your homepage to your best selling products.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong><\/span> Watch out for duplicate content and use canonical URLs. Don\u2019t create multiple landing pages for minor product differences (color, size etc).<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> <\/span>Eliminate all the Dangling & Broken links by using the Link Structure Tool.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

On Page Optimization<\/span><\/h2>\n

7.<\/strong><\/span> Conduct Keyword Research and find out how people search for your products.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong><\/span> Use targeted, compelling and unique Page Titles.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> <\/span>Usually you should use singular over plural (example camera vs cameras). Check the trends in your industry to see which is more popular.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong><\/span> Don`t use generic manufacturer product descriptions to avoid duplicate content issues. Write meaningful & useful descriptions for at least the best selling products.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

11.<\/strong><\/span> Optimize your pages for the targeted keywords and check their Keyword Rank<\/strong> with Keyword Analyzer tool.<\/p>\n

12.<\/strong><\/span> Don`t create thin content and pages that are not needed. Panda is watching you!<\/p>\n

13.<\/strong><\/span> Produce compelling SERP snippets to increase CTR.<\/p>\n

14.<\/strong> <\/span>Use schema.org to label the product details and prices.<\/p>\n

15.<\/strong><\/span> Update your content regularly to keep it fresh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

16.<\/strong><\/span> Optimize your images (filenames, alts, surrounded text) to increase the traffic that you receive through Image Search<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Link Building<\/span><\/h2>\n

17.<\/strong><\/span> Use targeted anchor texts by using the keywords that appear on the title of each product\/category.<\/p>\n

18.<\/strong><\/span> Analyze the link building campaigns of your competitors and try to acquire links from the same high quality sources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

19.<\/strong><\/span> Use text hyperlinks to link between your products and categories.<\/p>\n

20.<\/strong><\/span> Build links that point directly to the product landing pages and don\u2019t focus all your link building efforts only on homepage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Design & User experience<\/span><\/h2>\n

21.<\/strong><\/span> Use properly the call to actions. Keep them clear and place them strategically<\/strong> on your pages.<\/p>\n

22.<\/strong> <\/span>Create a compelling, user friendly, professional design.<\/p>\n

23.<\/strong><\/span> Use \u201csecurity badges\u201d (McAfee, VeriSign, Better Business Bureau or Direct Marketing Association) to gain the trust<\/strong> of your visitors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

24.<\/strong><\/span> Don’t confuse the visitor with 1 million options. Steer his\/her attention to the call to action.<\/p>\n

25.<\/strong><\/span> Offer all the cool features<\/strong> such as \u201cAdd to wish-list\u201d, \u201cSend Email alert when product becomes available\u201d, \u201csubscribe to Newsletter\u201d etc. They are good for the users and they can help you increase conversion rates.<\/p>\n

26.<\/strong><\/span> Use several images and videos featuring the best selling products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

27.<\/strong><\/span> Ensure that your website is cross browser<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

28.<\/strong> <\/span>Keep your check-out and payment process simple to increase your conversion rate and reduce the Shopping cart abandonment rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Website Structure & Architecture<\/span><\/h2>\n

30.<\/strong> <\/span>Choose carefully<\/strong> the eCommerce platform that you will use. Ensure that it is regularly updated, that it has lots of plugins, that it is supported by an active community or a serious company and that it is SEO Friendly. Don\u2019t<\/strong> select the platform only based on its cost.<\/p>\n

31.<\/strong><\/span> Create HTML & XML sitemaps and submit them to the various search engines.<\/p>\n

32.<\/strong> <\/span>Avoid using AJAX, Flash and other non SEO Friendly technologies for important parts of your page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

33.<\/strong><\/span> Ensure that the session IDs do not appear in URLs. This can create a duplicate content issue.<\/p>\n

Off page factors and other must-have Features<\/span><\/h2>\n

51.<\/strong> <\/span>Decide how many languages<\/strong> you should support on your website and which should be the default one. Have a different URL for each language version, don\u2019t use a cookie solution.<\/p>\n

52.<\/strong><\/span> Choose the name and the TLD of your domain wisely. A .com or a country specific TLD can really make the difference.<\/p>\n

53.<\/strong><\/span> Host your website on a reliable hosting company. Choose wisely the country of the server. And also its a major seo tips that use hosting provide search engine visibility support if any.<\/p>\n
