SEOmoz.org just published their “17 New Rules for Successful E-Commerce Websites” for your quick-study pleasure. Rand Fishkin, the post’s author and SEOmoz chief executive, explains many of the same customer-centric fixes we’ve been preaching for years over here at Future Now.
With “moms, dads & grads” season in full swing, e-commerce sites can use all the bright ideas they can get–and these tips, if not all new, are timeless (I especially like #15… cracked me up).
Which of these techniques have you used? Did any of them improve conversion?

Grrr… That’s embarrassing. I’ve been following your work for awhile. I guess it’s the nickname that stuck, randfish.
Great article, btw.
