22 Nov 09 SEO Tips – Optimize Your E-Commerce Website – II

This is the second post of the mini-series that talks about how to optimize your e-commerce website, and in this part, I will talk about title tag, meta keyword tag, and meta description tag.

Title tag

A unique title tag for each of the product pages is very essential. Use non-repetitive keyword in the title. Sounds simple, isn’t it?

Well, it does, and actually it is quite simple, if you have just 3-4 products to promote, but writing unique title tags start becoming more and more complicated when you have 100 or 200 or more products to sell. And even more complicated if you have to sell 20-40 products with different specification of same make; such as 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 GB pen drive of XYZ brand.

Now how will you write title tag for each individual pages? Should you include the brand name? I will suggest not using the brand name as you may run the risk of duplication.

Meta keyword tags

Do not use the same set of meta keyword tags for all pages. Be more specific, and as suggested previous post, add commercial keywords in this place. Keyword tags should be taken from the keywords you entered in the database while entering the product details, as suggested in previous post.

Meta Description tags

The meta description tag on the product page of an e-commerce website may contain the brand name. Your meta description tag should work as a short, sweet and succinct sales letter that will ascertain that only those visitors are coming to you who has intention to make a purchase.
