What the Hell Happened to My Ecommerce Posts
I rank pretty high for specific terms when it comes to ecommerce, even though I haven’t written a post in a while. I have learned a lot through running an ecommerce site. In fact, it has helped with my blogging and internet marketing more than you can imagine and vice versa.
I am surprised at how many techniques and methods to promote sites don’t cross boundaries. Bloggers have proprietary methods. Ecommerce webmasters have proprietary methods. Old school internet marketers have proprietary methods. I just refused to see the lines and used what worked. So if you don’t have an ecommerce site, this post may help you anyway. One of the best ways to make inroads in a industry is refuse to play by the rules and bring some rules from related ones. Make your mantra "use what works" rather than "this is how it’s done".
Priests of Blog
Most people don’t give a second thought to how the search engines work. When I explain that part of my job, I have to say something along the lines of, "You know, when you are searching for Athlete’s Foot Cream online. That first link you click on. Well, someone worked hard to get their site there out of the thousands available."
"But what if I’m not searching for Athlete’s Foot Cream?"
"Okay, Donkey Shows then."
"I don’t have much interest in Donkeys."
