Jeff Muendel writes in this article featured on Practical eCommerce:
Traffic down? Conversions starting to wane? It could be any number of SEO issues. Finding free online tools to hone search optimization for an ecommerce site can be tough. There are a lot of them out there, often promotional in nature, and they offer varying degrees of features and reliability. Some spit out data that is simply erroneous and applying this sort of information to website design can be useless at best and deadly, in Internet terms, of course, at worst.

In this article written by Kate DeBevois, Senior Associate Editor for Target Marketing, the spotlight turns on GravityStream. Derek Fortna, Cabela’s Marketing Programs Manager, reports on GravityStream’s implementation and success.
With its Web site approaching 50,000 product pages and more than 200,000 unique products, such as “hunting socks,” “compound bows” and “riflescope accessories,” the company required a more robust natural search solution.

Persuasion Architecture is based on Bryan’s idea that, “everybody does things for their own reasons.” These reasons translate into four, distinct preferences, the how and why people do the things that they do. Once you understand the four basic personality types — emotional, logical, fast-paced, and disciplined — you can build perspectives or snapshots that give you insight into how your customers might want to purchase your products. Once you understand the “how,” then you can build the “who.” Who is buying your products from your site? That’s where profiles come into play, small pictures to what Bryan says will “give us a little better understanding of who that grouping or that mode of behavior is going to be — and then ultimately two personas.”
Listen to Stephan Spencer’s interview with Bryan Eisenberg for more about how to boost your site’s conversion rate.
