Amazon Ecommerce (Webstore) and SEO TSK!

Just discovered 2 Amazon services that I think would work well in the armour of the average commercial SEO consultant. The first is Sell on Amazon, a service that enables you to add and sell your products in the standard Amazon framework… nice!; The second is Amazon Webstore, their own ecommerce solution. For those who are intreagued:

Sell On Amazon

$39.99 (£20.00) monthly fee plus 6% – 20% commission on sales

Amazon Webstore

$59.99 (£30.00) per month plus 7% commission

Ive just one concern about Amazon Webstore…

When you check their SEO functions you get this image:

All I have to say is TSK! TSK! …just how long has it been since Meta Tags were actually useful for SEO? C’mon guys. If you’re serious about this service then pay some attention to post 1999 SEO practices!
