Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
If you’re not using exit intent popups at your eCommerce store, then you are almost certainly missing out on sales.
These can be in the form of preventing cart abandonment and additional upsells to increase your average order value.
You can also use exit intent popups to drive a huge increase in other metrics, such as subscribers, followers, and the number of reviews you receive.
We also reveal our newest plugin, CommerceGurus Popups, and what it can do for store owners like you.

Patrick Rauland has written an interesting article on how he conducts SEO research for ecommercefuel.com.
A lot of writers come up with a list of topics they want to write about and then they will search for keywords related to that topic. They'll find a keyword somewhat related to their topic, they'll write about it, and hope that it ranks.
Patrick proposes a different approach.
We are instead front-loading the research process primarily based on our competitors keywords as well as our own seed keywords, clustering those keywords, adding them to our content planning sheet, and then finally assigning them to writers.
This process saves time, gives plenty of flexibility, and makes sure that the content is strategic and leads towards their goals.
