Hello Mihaly!
Talking about more operating stuff, I think you should study:
- Faceted Navigation - considering almost e-commerce uses this
2)Canonical - to show to the Search Engine where is the most important products
3)Meta Robots - to avoid Content and Title Duplication.
With that in mind, you can think better how you are going to optimize your site.
I think that this three topics is a good start for e-commerce
Hope it helps! =]

I believe that the SEO strategy begins with obtaining an understanding of the business and identifying how they might succeed on the web. This would include information about their products, their ability to produce content and the resources that they can put into the site.

My current SEO plan
Hello, I am new to SEO. I had this plan and understanding that I thought was a good one but seems to not be working as well as I thought. Basically I thought that showing for a keyword was based on how close you had a page on your site with a title tag to the search and how many quality links you had to your sites. Also the content had to be original. So I had two plans. The first was to make specifically high value pages on my site (what to do when you are stopped by the police) and then try to seek out links for those pages. My second plan was to make keyword specific pages for things in different cities. IE Car Accident Lawyer Brampton, Real Estate Lawyer Brampton, Find a lawyer Brampton. I hired some law students to re-write the same page basically with different language for every city, thinking that this would solve the duplicate content issue. This worked very well at first but for some reason yesterday all of my car accident city pages were de-indexed and I'm not sure why. http://www.lawyerconnection.ca/practice-areas/car-accident-injury-lawyers/ Very few other pages were de-indexed but I know that one of the find a lawyer pages was de-indexed. Also the page I linked above was not de-indexed, just the city pages linked from that page. I am not sure why the car accident pages were de-indexed. Too Similar to each other? Too similar to the slip and fall pages? (Any help on that much appreciated) Anyway I'm freaking out and now questioning the whole plan! Any thoughts on my whole general SEO plan would be much appreciate. Is this a good one? Am I doing something wrong?

Links from Directory Websites with NoFollow Tag
In reviewing our root domain links, I noticed that many of the directories (like Yellow Pages, Insider Pages, Merchant Circle, etc) that there are no follow codes included in the link to our website. Is this a common practice for these directories? Also, I wanted to confirm that this would not help in our link building strategies with any relevant "link juice." Below is a copy and pasted (with some extra characters that shouldn't have copy and pasted), but the key note here is the no follow tag that was included in this link to our site. Visit Website Thanks as always MOZ Community - cheers!

Link building for eCommerce
I have an engraving site where I am looking to increase traffic/ sales. We do local engraving services and sell engraved products via eCommerce. Perfectindesign.com It seems to me that locally I can't compete since most search terms are washed over with every local directory in and around the city that are selling there memberships. So I thought I could compete nationally via the 200 products we carry. I have used site explorer to go through my competitors links. My findings show that other then their twitter accounts and dmoz listing most everything else are paid links and lots of them. Keeping in mind I have 45 root domains with 411 links to my site. Three competitors links data. I probably shouldn't name them right? competitor #1 1k root with 13.9k links competitor # 2 147 root with 16k links competitor # 3 427 root with 28k Should I just start buying these links that range from $10-50 per link or is this a waste of time? Are these truly my competitors or am I comparing my tiny site to the major leagues?

'dilution' of link value.
Running ecommerce site selling childrens clothing for norwegian market. Most important keyword childrens clothing (barneklær) isnt too competitive (34 if i remember correct). The 2nd most important has very low competition (5 i think). I am starting a 3 month add with the best blog i found in norway. I am getting a 150x150 ad. In addition she is giving me a presentation in her blog tekst and allows me to arrange giveaway on my terms. She is allowing me to choose anchor text to use in presentation. Her stats to me seem very solid PA 58, DA 50 mozr 5,2 , mozt 4,6. http://www.joridkvam.com/ Should I in the upcoming months try to get in as many anchor texts links from her to different pages on my site. I have main words and producers etc that i am optimizing for on differnt sites. Or will the value of them just get diluted? so basically try to get in 2 links or 10 ? I am also curious as to which extent this one link will affect my ratings. I am ranking 24th for main term atm ( http://www.epleskrinet.no/ ) . Any one have any guesses ? thanks
