IS YOUR SHOPPING CART COSTING YOU MONEY?
They was a time when doing business on the internet simply meant hanging
out your electronic shingle and raking in the profits. Then it became
necessary to build your online credibility through reciprical linking
and membership in organizations like http://i-Cop.org. Then
organizations like http://www.paypal.com and
http://zzz.clickbank.net/r/?shannan0 became necessary to accept
payments without waiting for the proverbial "check in the mail".
One of the latest innovations of internet marketing is the shopping cart
program. Basically, this let's visitors to your site prepare an online
order just like they would fill out an order form from a catalog and
submit it directly to your business. Some programs are so advanced they
also calculate payments, coupons, shipping, and inventory.
But are they a good thing?
Many online business people are finding that the fancy shopping cart
program they have used to design or re-design their website is costing
them business. Why?
Because these programs are not search engine friendly. They omit meta
tags, they contain long and cumbersome universal resource locators
(URLs), and they inhibit the attainment of high search engine rankings.
So what can the online business person do? Is there no way to have a
friendly merchant environment? And stay visible in the search engines?
Yes, there is. And its relatively simple. Take for example, a generic
gift site. You might have a front page with a link to main category
pages that each flow down like a graph to specific products. But you
cannot place each of these pages directly into your shopping cart
program. Create a regular front
page which sits right on your domain,
www.mygifts.com. Create category headings for your main product
groupings that also sit directly on your domain,
www.mygifts.com/group1.html, www.mygifts.com/group2.html etc. Keep
these pages off the secure shopping cart server and system. From the
category heading pages, then move into the shopping cart system.
While your individual products may never see the light of day in search
engine rankings - your front page and your category headings will. In
this way, you have a site which is shopper and search engine friendly.
