I wanted to reach out to all Search Engine Optimization (SEO) professionals reading this post to see if they would share their top SEO tips with us. In exchange for your comments, you can introduce yourself and promote your company website at the bottom of your post. All you have to do is share your top 2 or 3 SEO tips that ecommerce business owners should do and then feel free to write 2-3 sentences at the bottom of the post to describe your company or your services. I am curious to see how many SEO ideas and tips we can come up with. I plan on doing something similar with other related industries (e.g web designers, marketing/advertising/branding professionals, etc to see how much group participation so we can all learn from each other.
Thanks!

When it comes to SEO I tell my clients that what they do off page is just as important as what they do ON page. Keywords in titles on blog articles, Press Releases, Facebook Fan Page Posts, and Twitter leads all help. So do keywords in social media profiles. Drop the empty language like: Mom, Dad to Johnny, and Out of the box thinker. They sound like PTA office election profiles and not business related social media profiles. Use your business name. Use your keywords. Add some location words if you are a brick and mortar. Think before you write and position yourself and your brand in a positive way that attracts the right type of search engine traffic to you and your business. The ROI comes when the phone rings and the door opens and people say, “I saw your special on Twitter…is it still on sale?” That is when you know your web presence is real and effective.
Thanks Shannon for your comments. I definately agree. As online SEO is usually the easiest, its the offline SEO that helps set you apart. Great insight on social media profiles as well. Its was something I have not thought much about until now.
