When you think about SEO and what’s changed over the last 5 years, what comes to your mind? Chances are, it’s something related to how it’s harder to get rankings on Google. But why has it gotten harder to get more organic traffic? Well, if you ask most SEOs, they’ll say it’s because Google has created a much more complex algorithm. They look at factors like page speed, brand queries, and hundreds of other factors that it may have not been placing much emphasis on in the past.

Amazon is a behemoth. So much so, that sales on Amazon accounted for a staggering 49% of all ecommerce sales in 2018. With access to an audience that large, it’s no wonder that so many brands are selling their products through Amazon, despite the ever-changing rules and risks. And a large portion of Amazon’s massive sales go through third-party sellers that are Fulfilled by Amazon, or FBA sellers.

They say there are over 200 ranking factors in Google’s algorithm. But are you going to take the time to optimize your site for each and every single one of them? Well, you should… but you probably won’t. See, SEO has changed… it used to be that you could do a handful of things and rank well. Sadly, those days are gone. Now you have to do every little thing and do it well to dominate Google.

Web forms — pop-ups, in-line forms, and more — are a great way to generate new leads on your ecommerce website. You can encourage your shoppers to give you their information so you can send them content that convinces them to make another purchase later. Of course, nobody really loves filling out a form while shopping online — especially when it seems like every time you land on a site you’re bombarded with popups trying to get you to sign up for this or download that.
