Another fine post. This one's getting bookmarked. As it happens, I'm currently working on a customer's site which is an ecommerce store. This is one of the things I proposed that we tackle next week. Your post couldn't have been more timely! - Glen Just felt compelled to come out of my shell and say “Well done”. Another fine post. This one’s getting bookmarked.

In this case, short names are perfect for design, and long names are perfect for titles and anchor text of links.

I come up with several product names and then create adwords campaigns mentioning them and then watch which campaign/name is doing the best. This product name is the one I then stick to.

I created a template for search results where my subheaders allow for the short optimization while the detail pages allow for database keywords based longer optimization. It is great for indented search results for longer keywords. Ironically,

I think a product name needs to be short, catchy, and informative. This way the customer will remember the name, like the name, and know exactly what the product is for. Thanks for the tips!

I am working on an ecommerce site, an online supermarket and this tip is great for it. I will use short names for products section and URLs and long names for titles and description. A very simple and practical idea. Thanks for tip. I am working on an ecommerce site, an online supermarket and this tip is great for it.

I will tell you why. I am working in SEO too, so most of the time I do have a problem trying to optimize e-commerce sites. There are thousands of pages, so it can't be done manually, except if I spend months on them ... It is easy to optimize the section part with the products name, from a database and to make everything automatic. Thanks. This tip is extraordinary. I will tell you why.

If your 5 competitors using the same title (since hospira & plum are popular) why should they click on your listing..unless you have a good call to action. I'm running a few e-commerce stores as well and noticed that the product name + call to action (showing the price for example) can have a big impact on your CTR.
