SOCIAL SHOPPING:

Crowdstorm - No Link though but a fast keyword optimiser in the social shopping world. Makesure when you create your account use your company name as the user name and enter your website!

StyleHive - Great for links, tags, images and prices. ‘Add to stylehive’ buttons available for product pages

ShopWiki - If your store is in dollars you can add yourself to Shopwiki. A free shopping site.

ThisNext - Make sure you have an account and recommend some of your products on this next. You can get blog badges also from this service.

OPTIMISATION:

1. If you have a .co.uk domain your website is most likely to be optimised on Google.co.uk and not really on Google.com. If you want to optimise your Google.com presence, set up a .com store in dollars for your customers in the USA and Canada, and make sure you have the option to choose the ‘US view or UK view’. This will also please your international customers and you can split marketing campaigns. I did this for Hairfreax.co.uk and Hairfreax.net. These sites also have seperate URL structures so we shall see which one get better optimised!
