Hi guys,

So i was looking around the webmaster forum.

i was wondering if all the trick and rules from SEO, linking, affliate marketing, google adsense, that are so important to generate $$ to webmasters around the world apply to the e-commerce world?

I mean, when you run an e-commerce site, how do you draw in traffic? the same way as those content site? through SEO and linking? Just wondering : ) thanks.

Don't forget PPC.

With eCommerce, given that you control the sale, you have access to a lot more ROI data then you would with say PPC to an affiliate site.

Yes, you still need the customers to find your site easily (without wading through 10 pages of SERP's)

I'd venture that it's even more important to you because now you're not selling anything for someone else - you're selling it for yourself!

I have both and say that SEO is the same for either style/form of site. Indeed I have site thats 50/50 and it works well.
