Examples of e-commerce sites using ajax faceted navigation?
-
Does anyone have examples of e-commerce sites successfully using ajax to power faceted navigation?
-
I was really looking for examples but thanks for the response anyway.

By successfully I mean using it and getting everything crawled properly.

I have often thought of the same idea of hinding the ajax faceted nav, and haveing a SE friendly alternitive, but then you have the problem of the wrong pages geting ranking, people will come to the site though your static pages missing you elegant UI.
Another thing is, that things do not stay the same, and you now have baggage to carry forward.
If you have the time and the passion to keep it up that great, but I like to make my life simple.
I have hundreds of Visual Studio projects repersenting great inspirational ideas, that never got finished.
What platform do you develop in by the way.
I have come to love ASP.MVC -
Disclaimer: The site I'm referencing is not live yet, but may be relevant to this question.
Welcome to my favorite SEO topic of 2011. I'm about 60-90 days out from debuting an SEO-friendly/AJAX faceted navigated ecommerce site and it has been a wild ride. After doing some technical wheelies and wiping out due to unsuspected gusts of wind (sorry for being overly metaphorical), I ended up crafting a hybrid site that doesn't attempt to give the spiders access to AJAX. Instead, we have a standard text-link navigational structure (for SEO) that is visually de-emphasized.. with AJAX as the emphasized interface (for UI). If you succeed in an AJAX interface that offers SEO-control, I would like a spot in your dojo, sensei.
Again, if this question wasn't meant to aid you in development and you just want some examples, my apologies.

Not off hand, but what do you mean by successfully?
You mean it works well, or successfully in terms of SEO, i can do the first for you, but the latter is real challenging, I often go to sleep thinking of this problem.In a intranet or authenticated admin site this works well, looks good, and gives a good user exsprience, but on a public facing website, plain of html works best for SEO.

E-commerce customer registration fields during account sign up
I work for an online print company and recently we were considering adding a field titled "industry" so that we could figure out what industry our customers are coming from. Has anyone seen anything either in favor or against adding this field during the customers account registration process. We understand that less is best however feel that it is important to better serve our customers. Any information on this subject would be very useful.

Average Time to Conversion on Site
I am curious to know if there is a way to view or calculate the average time it takes site visitors to convert per session. For example, based on a current website design, the average time on site might be 3 minutes and the number of conversions might be 100. is there a way to say that for the current website design, it takes 3 minutes for the average site visitor to submit a web form? Then, as I redesign the site, my goal would be to improve the average time to conversion by making the web form more accessible and require less information within the form itself. I don't think this is currently possible in GA. Has anyone figured out a way to accomplish this by use of traditional tracking tools? Or, am I facing having to code my site to record each visitor's time on site from the second they enter and then stop the clock when they submit the form?

Should I Use An Animated Javascript Responsive Site
Hi, hope someone might be able to help me with this. I am setting my son up with a website for his small painting and decorating company. However, I am a wordpress stalwart and he has seen a theme which is a javascript animated responsive theme from template monster. Its not my choice just he is adamant that he wants it. However, I am slightly concerned that Google cannot index as well with these kind of sites as they would with a standard HTML site. I would be grateful if someone could confirm if they can be indexed etc. The content appears in what I can only describe as lightboxes. Thanks

Anyone used bugherd.com for onsite seo purposes?
Just as the title says, has anyone used bugherd.com for SEO purposes? I was thinking it could be used to show client changes that need to be made regarding the website. Example could be if you are looking at a CRO prospective, you may want to change/add some graphics or text to improve conversions. It seems like a nifty tool to show the changes you want made and to keep track of them. It integrates with basecamp also 🙂

SEO tricks for a one page site with commented html content
Hi, I am building a website that is very similar to madebysofa.com : means it is one page site with entire content loaded (however are commented in html) and by clicking on sections it modify the DOM to make specific section visible. It is very interesting from UX point of view but as far as I know, since this way most of my content is always commented and hidden from crawlers, I will loose points regarding SEO. Is there any workaround you can recommend or you think sites like madebysofa.com are doomed to loose SEO points by nature? Best regards,

The ideal SEO e-commerce site
Hi All, I am currently writing a spec for moving our current e-commerce website and it got me thinking from an SEO perspective. We are all usually restrained by the current website set-up / CMS and there are things it can never do despite how hard we push for the changes. If you had the chance to start from a blank canvas (like I do currently) what would be on your wishlist?
