Any Ecommerce Content Marketing Training and Resources
-
Hi guys!
Was wondering if you can help me out finding training/courses/resources that you could recommend for content marketing for large retail ecommerce sites. Particularly interested in editing product and category pages though open minded for any of your support. Any suggestion is welcomed.
In advance I appreciate your time and help!
Best,
Finn

Thanks Takeshi. I strongly agree with creating a blog and resource center. The issue is that the priority now is to create those unique product and category descriptions (just for the record I am in South America) and the opportunity and priority is to secure first unique descriptions and later to move to other value added content/inbound alternatives.
Thats why I am looking for expertise/training in writing remarkable product and category descriptions.
Thanks!

you're going to want to build a Blog or Resource Center or some other hub for your content to live. - Agreed

Having worked on a number of ecommerce sites myself, I would say that if you want to do content marketing for an eccomerce site, you're going to want to build a Blog or Resource Center or some other hub for your content to live.
Sure, creating unique and informative product descriptions and category pages is important, but truly compelling content that you can actually promote to get links and social shares is probably not going to live on your product page, but on a separate section of your site.

How to jumpstart a new Ecommerce site
Hello, I've got a new Ecommerce site I'm jumpstarting. It's one of those sites that takes a while to rank for. Here's what we're doing: 1. Creating a beautiful, mobile friendly site. 2. Adding a long detailed home page answering all the questions that people come to our industry keyword results with. 3. Adding detailed, beautiful cateogy pages. 4. Adding detailed, beautiful product pages. 5. Adding beautiful, long About Us & Resource Sites list pages. 6. Offering straight up obvious free shipping and no tax even though that's taking a hit in our industry. 7. We're going after the 2 main informational terms (keyword explorer) in the industry with a vengance - 20X as good as the competition for the main term. 8. We're adding 20-30 pages of articles to help our customers and hit major keyword search terms, although there's not much in our industry. What else would you recommend doing to jumpstart a new Ecommerce site that has difficulty being in the top 50? Thanks.

SEO Ecommerce Keywords
Hi guys got a question regarding ecommerce seo do you think its a better idea to target more long tail terms and try get links directly to product pages, brand pages and categories. Rather than focus on short keywords that do bring in good traffic but are very broad, i will prob do both, but i would like a second opinion please about other users strategies thanks

Hit by Penguin, Can I move the content from the old site to a new domain and start again with the same content which is high quality
I need some advice please. My website got the unnatural links detected message and was hit by penguin.. hard. Can I move the content from the current domain to a new domain and start again or does the content need to be redone also. I will obviously turn of the old domain once its moved. The other option is to try and identify the bad links and change my anchor profile which is a hit and miss task in my opinion. Would it not be easier just to identify the good links pointing to the old domain and get those changed to point to the new domain with better anchors. thanks Warren

Keyword/Content Consistency
My question is: If you have a keyword that is searched more when it's spelled wrong then when it's spelled right - what do you do? Do you do the misspelled word or keep true to the spelling and say oh well to SEO? Also - Along the same lines of that question: What if you have a keyword that has a - in the middle of it. For instance: website and web-site (this isn't the keyword just an example). and drupal website is searched more then drupal web-site but wordpress web-site is searched more then wordpress website. Technically website is the correct spelling and way to write it, but people put web-site (again not the case in reality - just an example).

When we start to study SEO and how google see our webpage, one important point is to have good content. But, for beginners like me, we get lost on this.
