		<description>It works just as well for ecommerce as for any other vertical.  Amazon and eBay have proven that, along with ePinions and many other successful ecommerce sites.

The only question for the discount price ecommerce site is how you get the product-related content onto your site.  Do you let your customers put it there, do you build a community that puts it there, or do you put it there yourself?

Adding 1 page of commentary per day, and expanding outward from that 1 page by following the search referral queries as they come in, will provide an average Web site with thousands of daily or weekly search-referred visitors at the end of 1 year.

You would have to offer a pretty gross and uninteresting site NOT to realize that least amount of success, if only because people will find your content randomly.

There is no magic formula.  But if you write 500 words per day you&#039;ll get more search referrals than if you write 200 words per day.  The more passionate you are about your topic, the more involved you are with it, the more people will be interestred in what you have to say.

Your productivity brings the traffic.  Your passion brings the links.  Your consistency builds your visibility and expectations.

But Web marketing encompasses far more than search engine optimization.  People who need traffic NOW have other options.  SEO should be practiced for the long term, not for the near term.</description>

		<description>So how about e-commerce stores, hawking the same old crap as their competitors at a slightly lower price - &quot;build the content and the links will come&quot; is a beautiful strategy when it works, but it doesn&#039;t really work so well here; not without a lot of nurture and a large kick-start. Do you have an insight or special way of applying this strategy here?</description>
