    • I wouldn't use open source shopping cart software if you plan to take credit cards on your website. With PCI compliance regulations, you will be leaving yourself wide open to penalties if you take credit cards on-site. The only way for you to be compliant is to only accept off-site payments from PayPal or Google Wallet and that's going to lower your conversion rate. I would recommend using a PCI compliant cart like BigCommerce.

      Regarding ongoing SEO work: I would recommend having a blog that you post unique content to at least twice each week. Create social profiles at Twitter, Facebook & Google+ where you can post an update each time you make a new post. Also, focus on spending a couple hours each week promoting your website in ways that will result in solid 1-way backlinks. You can do this by guest writing and reaching out to website owners that are in your market and linking to the top ranking websites.

  • Create your SEO do-list, create backlinks only in related website, and then try well-done pyramid based on 2.0 webs and mix all kinda SEO works.
  • On-Page SEO, quality orginal content for product descriptions, backlinking each product catagory, etc. Same as any other site get a guide, follow the methods, rank it.
  • Make sure your site is providing useful content and is visitor friendly. Then do the offsite SEO. If those steps are done good once you'll get the site up in Google the SEO part will maintain itself as you will get organic backlinks.

  • According to em backlinks are the best way to do seo and you can even do link exchange to make your site in top list of the search engine
  • Make the site attractive with interactive features. Try to make it SEO friendly.
  • Apart from the common SEO tactics, use the below ones for your E-commerce website:

    1. Prepare Search engine friendly URLs (ex: /categories/widgets/ instead of ?productid=6 or ?catid=12)

    2. Add Product Feeds: Most of the sales come from Google shopping.

    3. Make sure your CMS works fine - it should help you match the URL, Title Tag, alt tags, H1 and content with the product targeted on that particular page.

    4. Proper Social Media integration.

    5. Less page load speed. Try to use only a few js libraries)

    6. Another most important thing is Canonical Url Implementation. Ideally your CMS should do it automatically.
  • 1)Bookmarking
    2)Forum posting
    3)Directories submission
    4) link exchange
    5) Press release

    is a best way to increase rank of the e-commerce website.
  • I don't agree with that at all. On-page factors are just as important for ecommerce websites as they are for any type of website. To rank in Google you need authority and the best way to build authority is through a combo of solid incoming links and good on-page factors. (not to mention it's harder to get solid websites to link to you without good quality content)
