THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF
AN ECOMMERCE SITE?
#thinkppc
Site Navigation!
#thinkppc
Not the home page
•Not every visitor lands on your home page
–Search, social, email, shopping engines…
•Home pages don’t convert
–Content often is overlooked and ignored
–There is a small chance featured content is
relevant to your visitor
–The goal of the home page is to get the visitor
towards a product they want/need
#thinkppc
Not search
•The search box/field does not communicate
what your site has to offer
•Search is for visitors that either know exactly
what they want, or have failed using your
navigation menus
•Exceptions…
•Search often fails
#thinkppc
