How-to articles-- How-to or do-it-yourself articles are great for eCommerce sites. Create articles that are relevant to the products you sell. For example, if you sell beauty products, create "How to curl your hair" or "How to deep condition your hair." It will help drive traffic as you'll have interesting and engaging content. Not to mention, readers are likely to share the articles as well.

In depth product descriptions-- Often, product pages have a short product description. To add to your website's content and to provide more useful information, link a longer product description to your products page. Include reviews on the longer product description pages as well.

Videos and Images-- Videos and images are a hit in the marketing world. People don't just want to read about a great product, they want to see it in action. Create short videos or picture tutorials showing how the product works and the benefits.
