Why do e-commerce sites rank high? After all, every page on their site hasnt got a lot of content -usually 50-100 words.

    Content is important but the big e-commerce sites have so many backlinks that it give them enough strength to rank on that alone.

    Also, ecommerce stores that have a lot of products can use the power of the Google Products Datafeed to ensure they're included in the shopping results. With the right keywords, they can gain a lot of free traffic. Plus, if ecommerce URLs are SEO friendly (many websites actually are not), then that helps a lot as well! Feel free to PM me if you need any clarification

        Haha thanks for pointing out that the signature wasn't working dude - I appreciate that greatly

        URLs being SEO friendly means that the search engines, based on the actual URL, actually know what the product is on the page. For example, most ecommerce platforms have their product links as followers:

        www.yourdomain.com/productid=38473

        What the heck is product id 38473(just an example)? However, if the actual product was say, for a red medium sized dog collar, then a SEO friendly URL would be as follows:

        www.yourdomain.com/red-medium-dog-collar

        So this would help out your store greatly

        Do you run and own an ecommerce store buddy?

          No worries,after all we are all here to make money!


          Oh, I wasn't sure what you mean ...but to be fair that is just basic on page optimisation. You need to do that anyway if you have an affiliate site.

          To answer your question: no, I do not own an ecommerce sites. I have affiliate sites and also sites that focus on list building. I outsource most of the work, but I always like to learn new stuff!


          Have a good day!

    Listen, Google uses some factual items into their SE, and I bet one of them is a percentage for "e-commerce". Thats why some online shops show up that high. Imagine I search for "surfboards" - Google wants their users to see some shops with those items, instead of 10 sites filled with text about it, right?

    IMO it's that simple.

    @ OP

    I think you already know why the rank high from the answers of posters above.

    However, I feel big G is an affiliate for them that is why these sites are ranked pretty high without much content. :p

      Those are companies like Macy's making millions of dollars with SEO and their marketing campaigns. Plus most of those sites are aged for a really long time.
