I have a client with a reasonably large e-com site, which is doing quite well.

Unfortunatley, he has it in his head that once visitors arrive on the site, he then has to give a sales patter for each of his sections, which normally includes a load of babble about why such and such an item is so popular, and if you bought it, it would make you look like blah blah etc, and lots of BUY NOW and blah de blah type of statements. I don't like this.

I feel that if someone has chosen to visit that page, then they have already made a choice, and there is no need to shove a tacky sales pitch down their throat. Besides this it kind of thwarts any SEO attempts.

Surely once you have a visitor the best way to help the sale is to present the data etc in as professional way as possible and let them make their own mind up???

Anyone got any opinions on this?
