<p>But what&#8217;s more than just selling products on the web, is effectively marketing those products to prospective customers. Search engine optimization (SEO) and Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising are two marketing channels that are ideal for ecommerce stores. SEO and PPC are both important because they increase the advertising exposure of certain products of an ecommerce site in search engine results pages (SERPs). The more visibility an ecommerce website has, the more traffic and sales potential the site can earn.</p>
