Excerpts from my latest article at Practical eCommerce: “SEO Report Card: MotoGP Store, Part 2.”
The MotoGP Store volunteered for an SEO Report Card. This is the second installment of my analysis of that site. In “Part 1,” I reviewed the home page and category pages, internal navigation, HTML templates, title tags and keyword choices on, again, The MotoGP Store.
