In order to always be up to date in the rapidly changing E-Commerce-Business we do look in to interesting articles and blog postings on a daily basis.

Search Engine Marketing is one of the buzzwords in modern E-Commerce. Everyone wants to be on top of the list – on Google´s list to be precisely. But is SEM everything shop owners should be worried about? No, says Kevin Gibbons from the Econsultancy Blog.


Why SEM isn’t all that

by Kevin Gibbons

You have to love a contentious headline. In this article, I won’t be declaring search engine marketing (SEM) dead. What I want to explore are the various ways you should support this kind of marketing elsewhere on your website.

The point is, gaining a customer through pay-per-click advertising in the search engine results pages costs money. That’s fine because, assuming your campaign manager is skilled, they are likely to make a purchase and you have gained a fresh customer.

There are a lot of rumors concerning Search Engine Optimization and the data Google is using for their Search Engine Ranking. One of the oldest and persistant ones: “google uses keywords from the website metatags for their ranking”. This rumor is now and forever gone with the wind. But read for yourself.


Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking

von Matt Cutts

Recently we received some questions about how Google uses (or more accurately, doesn’t use) the "keywords" meta tag in ranking web search results. Suppose you have two website owners, Alice and Bob. Alice runs a company called AliceCo and Bob runs BobCo. One day while looking at Bob’s site, Alice notices that Bob has copied some of the words that she uses in her "keywords" meta tag.
