Search engines have become a fact of life on the Internet. A vast majority of Internet users turn to the big payers like Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask time and time again. We now see more and more shoppers using the Internet to fulfil their shopping needs. How big of a market is it? Just look at the fact that all the search engines now own shopping stores. These companies realized that the way Internet search is done may not be the best way to market merchandise online.
The problem for most site owners is they need content oriented sites to rank well in these search engines. If your focus is content, it is not exactly easy for your shopper to shop at your web site. You must vary your optimization to help these customers find what they want. You also need to look at how these shopping stores set up their sites to sell. Categories is the main theme that is used. For example they may break down a stereo by make model price, or ratings. The question then becomes how can we compete and still rank high for our store. Diversification of search optimization is the key.
You have to have multiple strategies carried out over different pages to compete with the large online stores. For instance you can optimize each page with categories as key words. Each page with a separate item optimized heavily to rank when that item is searched. This not only works well for an optimized page but can really help for adwords or pay per click advertising. The other big factor you have is localization. You can have the opportunity to put local areas in the optimization because you are only selling locally. The big companies can’t break it down that far as easy and complete as you.
Is this a perfect system? No you can’t get every customer and the ones you lose will most likely be un-loyal price shoppers which you will have no margins or profit. The key is groups of products or categories first then local keywords so that loyal local customers can find you and buy from you. At this point it is your job to make sure they come back and buy again!
