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.

How Useful is this website for Linkbuilding
I've been looking at A to Z of materials trying to determine how much time it is worth spending on building a company profile and adding additional information http://www.azom.com/suppliers.aspx?SupplierID=2343 DA is 50+ and PA for a new listing seems to be 17 of so. My site currently has a DA of about 20. Once of my competitors seems to have put a lot of time into it Other than a profile you can also write articles and post news. It's worth pointing out that as a whole the sector has no useful blogs and most linkbuilding is done via directory listings. And Most companies have back links from less than 20 other root domains. Thoughts would be gratefully received

Penguin issue or wrong linkbuilding strategy?
Quite a few month ago before Google implemented Penguin algorithm I had a great situation. After 24th of April my ranking and traffic dropped instantly. Here a a screenshot from my GA: http://imageshack.us/a/img15/4717/screenshot20121013at120.png I have reviewed my linkbuilding strategy and on-page optimisation however some keywords which dropped out of page 5 don't want to come back even close to page 1. I would appreciate a professional advise on how my strategy, on-page optimisation can be improved. For those who are interested here is my domain: http://www.desertsafariabudhabi.ae The keyword which is more interesting for me is "desert safari abu dhabi". Thanks in advance, Russel

Extracting contact info from a website
I saw a great link building article on this website a few months ago about finding competitors back links and using a program to find the contact info located in those back links. Can anyone point me to that article, or even the program that is used to get this contact info? Thanks!

SEO directories
Recently I did a research of one of mine competitors and to my surprise his major backlinks located on seo directories like: http://alistdirectory.com/ http://www.ggfb.org/ http://www.bitterskank.com/ http://www.directorypage.net/ And .... he is showing on first page of Google by particular keyword "Dentist Dubai". Frankly speaking I am confused a little bit, because I believe that this SEO strategy has stopped working a long time ago. Could someone share with me his thought about this? Furthermore all of those websites are asking about a Reciprocal link, which I did find on his website. How he did it? Thanks, Russel

Opinion regarding SEO Sabotage
Hello Mozcommunity, I would like opinions regarding potential spammy inbound links from others . In theory you would want excellent useful content on your site that other web properties would link to in a natural way..link bait. But what if links were pointing to your site with malicious intent. For example a competitor bombs yours site with spammy/black hat links. This is clearly a dilemma for search engines since anyone can link to your site...even though you can block incoming with .access I don't believe many smaller in-house seo teams (or do it yourself small business owners) use Google analytics to routinely monitor referring sources.
