    First make sure that the site is optimized well. before moving to off page otpimization make sure that the site is optimized well in its source code i.e., on-page optimization check whether the the tile tags, meta description etc are optimized well. Then perform off page optimization really it will improve the ranking of site.

    On-page optimization is easy for other websites that are not related to e-commerce. But an e-commerce website has many virtual pages like URL of different sub categories of products and services redirect to same page. In those case how can we do effective on page SEO?

    Virtual pages for e-commerce website is not at all SEO friendly. It will be better if you maintain individual pages for each product and then optimize that particular page. You can also gather important tips for your requirement, mail at

    Its a combination of internal linking, inbound links and overall website authority.

    Link to your category pages from your home page. For instance, if my category is called "Designer Handbags" then I need a link with the same text from my homepage, preferably within content.

    After this is done you need to attain deep links from directories and websites. Depending on the keyword, for a new website it can take 6-12 months to achieve page 1 on google.

    Never forget to read Google's webmaster guidelines when you're optimizing your site and building links. This will greatly help you and you can also avoid being penalized by Google.

    Seo is dynamic and things keep changing by the minute if not seconds. This is especially so with Google doing everything possible for affiliate marketers not to benefit from free traffic. But the one thing that search engine cannot do without no matter how many time they change their algorithm is content.

    The best thing to do then to succeed in SEO is guest blogging. This way you kill two birds with one stone where you generate quality content and at the same time get backlinks to your e-commerce site.

    As someone mentioned before, watch out for duplicate content. You can use a canonical link to help remedy that. The reason this is a problem is because if you have a product belonging to more than one collection the URL will appear to be different to Google but the content will be the same.

    In my opinion, there is a lot of competition these days for e-commerce sites. Local classified ads, local lisings, google places,e-mail marketing and social media are the best ways to optimize an e-commerce website.
    I hope you find it helpful :)
