Name Some Ecommerce Sites That NAIL Blogging
-
Have a few favorites but would like to get some other people's opinions on some ecommerce sites that are doing blogging RIGHT.
Who is supporting their online marketing with an amazing blog?
One of my favorites is Backcountry.com's The Goat (http://thegoat.backcountry.com/)
Let me know!

Totally agree. It looks like they even post multiple times per day. With that kind of content generation they make sure they are finding the pieces that connect with their customers.

Yes. One of the things that is very illuminating is that they have 27 writers for the blog. I used this example to try to convince my own company to not make the blog the realm of just one person, but to open it up to a team of people. This gets a wider variety of content, more content and less writing for each person. With 27 writers, they can post once a week yet each writer is only having to write 2 blog posts a year. I'd say that's pretty manageable!

Nice suggestion, thanks! Their blog is impressive and it looks like they have the whole company bought into contributing.
Thanks!

I'm not sure that they count because their really an airline, but they do a lot of online selling and that's Southwest Airlines. Their blog is one of the best http://www.blogsouthwest.com/ - I just think it's a great model for a business blog. I think they are getting upwards of 200K visitors a month too, pretty amazing.

Thanks Brad!
Sorry for the confusion... I was looking for an ecommerce site that nails their blogging efforts!
Any ideas on that front?
One of my favorites is Backcountry.com's The Goat (http://thegoat.backcountry.com/)

Thanks for the contribution danatanseo....
I need to clarify - I meant ecommerce sites that have awesome blogs to support their online marketing efforts.
Sorry about that!
Do you have any suggestions in that department?
Thanks!

Can I post my MailChimp articles on my blog without getting hit for duplicate content?
I would like to post my newsletters on my blog, but am afraid of duplicate content since you can click a link on the MailChimp email blast to view the Newsletter online. Is this considered dup content?

Should i 301 redirect my blog to the respective site or just 404 all the blog pages?
Hi guys, We plan to close down our blog, which is a subdomain to our anchor site. I need advice on how to keep the link juice and its SEO value. Is it better to 301 redirect the blog to the homepage of our site, or just 404 all the pages of the blog? Thanks

I want to swop a site to an existing domain. i.e. it was http://A.com and now want it to be B.com...please help
The company I have started working for as two main websites. The main website (A) is out of date and not very functional but has the companies prime domain name. The other site (B) has their ecommerce engine. I'd like to make B the prime site i.e. take over A's domain name. Huge warning bells are going off regarding the SEO of this decision. Any advice or suggestions in how to go about this without destroying the company's SEO would be greatly valued.

One Page Website Blog Content Question
Hi guys, I'm new to the art of SEO and am learning every day from all the fantastic content here, I have a question that I can't find an answer to, hope it doesn't stump you like it has me... I have a one page website (www.neilwilliamsvoiceover.com) that I need to put more content on for SEO purposes but needs to be kept as one page. I've set-up a blog via blogger, and have that on the website but it's in iframe, which I've now discovered is ignored by search engines. So, my question is, is there a way to pull my blog feed into the website and have it recognised by search engines as content for the website? Would I use an RSS feed or feed burner or something else completely?! Thanks for your time and help in advance.

Ecommerce site content upgrade timescale.
I have been upgrading my sites content and structure and I have been wondering how long I should wait for a traffic increase before I should think it has been a failure and try a new plan of attack?

Am I spreading my content & site thin?
I have a video section on my site. Basically I am filtering quality videos for my readers to check out. The videos are pretty much all embedded youtube/vimeo vids. There are a few categories, which are pretty niche-y in relation to my readers. In general they probably aren't seen as too relevant to the overall content on my site... Is it a mistake to keep these videos up? Could they be messing up my rankings since they aren't necessarily in line with the rest of the content on my site?

Onsite Blogging Vs Guest Blogging
Hey all! I have a limited amount of time allocated to writing instructional blog posts for my company. When I complete an article I can do whatever I want with it: pitch it as a guest post on an industry blog, or post it on my company's onsite blog. I know there's not a magical solution regarding the percentage of time one should devote to guest blogging v. focusing on the company blog, but I figured I'd throw the conundrum out to the Mozzers anyway. In your opinion, how many of your writing resources should be devoted to guest posts, and how many should be devoted to maintaining the onsite blog? What if our onsite blog isn't currently receiving a lot of traffic? Thanks! Meg
