SEO - what's a Google top search result worth?
According to Chitka - an online advertising network - "the top organic position drove 34.35% of all traffic in the sample, almost the combined total of positions 2 through 5 slots, and more than the combined total of traffic to longtail positions, 5 through 20". There's a nice table and a graph that delivers the message. Posted by'Screen Pages' on May 26, 2010 in SEO

E-commerce analytics + customer surveys = valuable insight
Excerpt from Internet Retailing: "Retailers should identify how they can integrate the information gleaned from customer feedback into their web analytics data. The who, what, when and where data you collect about your customers’ behavior is valuable. The why data, the information that comes directly from customer feedback, is priceless. Combining these information streams positions your business to serve online customers in a personalized, real-time manner." Posted by'Screen Pages' on May 14, 2010 in Best practice

Ecommerce and SMEs
Useful hints from small business - Hello Baby - (via e-consultancy), highlighting the value of SEO (good copy and link-building), alternate channels (e.g. Amazon and eBay).
"A good-looking website is important, as users will make judgements based on first impressions, and so is relevant information on returns, delivery and so on should be made clear, and T&Cs clearly displayed."

E-commerce tips:: writing good copy
More insight from James Gurd, this time regarding product copy. Given that most retailers have no words (they run shops, remember), producing compelling sales copy that performs well in search engines is actually hard work.
"Website copy plays a crucial role in informing your visitors, presenting your values and directing people to take actions, not to mention giving a boost to your SEO efforts."
