Do you know if the ecommerce software you are using is search engine friendly?

If you go to Google and type in: site:www.YOURDOMAINNAME.com are all product pages indexed? Are you #1 for the keywords you are targeting? If not here are some main areas you should evaluate:

CGI-BIN and Scripting Languages
Meta Data
Page Titles
URL Rewrites
Hidden Session ID`s
Heading Tags
ALT Attributes
Flash Navigation
JavaScript Navigation
Frames
Coding to Standards

To read, understand, and best of all see incorrect / correct examples of each of the bullet points above go here: http://www.merchantmetrix.com/shopping-carts/cart-eval.html.
