> I want to know how to promote an E-Commerce website. Budget is a tricky one here as PPC is a good instant way to start driving traffic. Buy/rent email lists and fire out an email marketing campaign can help. Make SEO a priority from day one. Use word of mouth too, if your product or service is hot ask people to recommend you. >Secondly what types of products and services are best to be promoted on E-Commerce sites? Niche products where there isn't a large established player in the market would be best. Consider items that are cheap to ship as well. Users want free P&P where they can get it. David Sealey
Hi TS, Do you already have an e-commerce site set up? If so, where? If not, maybe you should look at Yahoo's e-commerce store service. Your second question is far to general to give a clear answer... because you can sell millions of different products on e-commerce stores and make a great profit on them, so what is "best" depends on YOUR situation. So, what kind of market niches are YOU interested in dealing with? That will narrow the search down a bit. If you haven't yet got an idea for a specific market niche, don't worry. It's better to find a hungry market first, and then find the products later. But don't buy bulk quantities of products until you (1) have found a trustworthy supplier and (2) have tested the market. If you need any further assistance, feel free to PM me. Best wishes, David Hurley
Get a lot of backlinks to start. Once you have some business going, you can invest in Adwords or SEM.
backlinks can be hard to get if you have no page rank, this is how we started, Dmoz listing, other free directories, yahoo directory $299pa (you can get a free listing but not easy to get), once you get some kind of PR then it will be a lot easier to exchange links with other high page rank sites in you market. Good luck
well personally before u spend cash on advertising try going the SEO WAY AND BACKLINKING LIKE CRAZY! my ecommerce site is stillin the works but when it is complete Id say that would be the first way. but then again it wont hurt just to say use a 40 dollar adword budget for a month or so which would yeild you some targeted traffic.
I normally buy banner ads at shopping related niche blog to promote my ecommerce site. For me the most high demand item is electronic product especially those high tech product such as iphone.
To improve hits from search engines, conduct a search on your own URL with the keywords most likely used to find your products. If your site doesn’t come up, then you know you have some improvements to make in the content and keywords/tags on your site. View the keywords on your web pages through most web browsers by selecting “View†then “Page Source†. You can do this to find the keywords on each individual page. Building more links to your e-commerce sites and get more inbound links which is always good to SEO.
Submit your product feed to lots of product comparison sites like Google Base, Shopmania, etc. You can also do article marketing to get free traffic.
The first thing that you must to do is submit to search engine, submit to directory, use SEO tool, promote your product using free advertise service, but if you have enough budget use Adwords to make better promotion.
I read some where that its really hard to optimize eCommerce website and it takes a lot of times to get top position? is it true? and some one heard about Social Networking website? The website which promote Other products or brands of particular company? If we make social networking website to promote brands then how much time it takes to get top position and traffic also. Answered will be appreciated.
Well promote can be free or paid! if i was you i would put my site in blog comments / free directories if i wanted to pay google adword was my first choose.
