In this article Forrester Research discusses how large ecommerce businesses will use online marketing to grow this channel. Natural Search is one piece of the online marketing pie. Home decor etailer Pottery Barn increased the success of their organic search initiative with use of Netconcepts SEO technology:
“…Pottery Barn boosted natural search results between 1,000% and 9,800% across its sites by investing in GravityStream, a technology sold through its search agency to automate SEO work. “

A recent article in Chain Store Age focuses on the impact GravityStream SEO technology by Netconcepts has had on the Cabela’s website. Multi-Channel retailer Cabela’s ecommerce website ranks highly in search engines with an optimized version of their website running GravityStream technology. This technology automates optimization so that search engine spiders can read and understand the content of the Cabela’s site. One of the benefits of this scalable technology is shorter URLs which are search engine friendly. The optimized site is in sync with the native site, which was not the case with other SEO efforts Cabela’s had tried in the past. The GravityStream solution is particularly effective for non-branded items, also called Long Tail terms. The SEO version of the site has paid off, and in 2007 alone, Cabela’s saw a 140% increase in visits and a 70% jump in sales.

The growth of search engine marketing (SEM) predicted by investment firm Piper-Jaffray in a study they published in 2003 — projected that worldwide total revenue from search would reach $7 billion by 2007. Actual revenue for North America alone was $12 billion in 2007. The investment in SEM represents both paid online advertising, and a renewed interest online retailers have in managing their organic search channel. Netconcepts serves leading brands, who we see are increasing their investment and treating organic optimization as an ongoing need, no longer a one-time application.
