    Do you know if the ecommerce software you are using is search engine friendly?

    If you go to Google and type in: site:www.YOURDOMAINNAME.com are all product pages indexed? Are you #1 for the keywords you are targeting? If not here are some main areas you should evaluate:

    * CGI-BIN and Scripting Languages
    * Meta Data
    * Page Titles
    * URL Rewrites
    * Hidden Session ID's
    * Heading Tags
    * ALT Attributes
    * Flash Navigation
    * JavaScript Navigation
    * Frames
    * Coding to Standards

    To read, understand, and best of all see incorrect / correct examples of each of the bullet points above go here: http://www.merchantmetrix.com/shopping-carts/cart-eval.html.
