With over 25,000,000,000 web pages on Google.com, an ecommerce website must be in the Top 10% of sites just to survive *.
Without being optimized and search engine friendly your pages will never rank in Google’s Top 10 to 30 search results and as a result get little or no real traffic.
In addition to that, when visitors arrive at your web pages they must also be people user friendly. Otherwise visitors bounce off your pages and rarely take the action you expected. If you operate an ecommerce site, they also don’t purchase enough products for you to run the business.
