Pretty cool tips. I haven't received these. I'm an Adsense publisher based in Europe, so I think you're right about them sending it to Adsense publishers in your region.

As you'd expect, most of the tips are pretty obvious & well known. I hadn't thought that image keywords were so important though.
The 404 for an out of stock product is madness though. No real online store is going to serve up a 404 for a discontinued product line. They're going to want to redirect to an explanation and list of similar products or alternatives.

I use the first 9 tips all the time. Some of the others i use sometimes. I have to see if they sent me the email i have not checked email today.
I see so many sites not use tip number 3 all the time. Everyone should use it and alt tags.

I strongly disagree with the number 9. SEs don't gave a damn about fresh content, look at many high PR websites (e.g. Google.com is the best example).

Thanks for the great tips. I think this is very suitable for a business site, that sells merchandise online, however there is some great info out there for the rest of us.

It's interesting that they came out with those tips. Still, it's a bit strange. I wonder what the thought process there was. I wonder if there's any misdirection involved here.

I played that game for so long, it was pretty fun. Thanks for getting all the tips so I didn't have to keep playing. The last six aren't even tips, just links. I would've expected a little more effort from Google.

Whatever happened to Google being sort of 'against' SEO? Reading the comments on this post, I also think someone's trying some misdirection by using the Google name...

Thanks for the great resource. It seems like The Big G (no the other Big G) is trying to give us hints as far as what we need to do to get the most out of the system. At least I hope so and it doesn't turn out to be red herrings.

On tip#1 you mentioned checking to see if Google is seeing all of your pages. Well, what do you do if Google is missing a page? Do you have tips for "forcing" Google to look at it?
Good tips. Thanks for condensing them for us. These are things everyone should be keeping track of.

Wow, this list is good. Number 8 is very important. It would be a shame to build a site and have people not be able to find their shopping cart. We have all been to some of these sites. Fortunately this aspect seems to be improving of late.

Some of these tips I haven't seen before. "Tip #9 There’s no doubt about it…
users and search engines like fresh content. We recommend original product descriptions or a product review section on your site."
That can be applied to any time of site, not just ecommerce. Fresh content will keep Googlebot coming back to your site. Plus the more content you add, the great potential to draw in more visitors.

Never, ever, knowingly serve a 404, EVER!!!!
Either leave the page there with an explanation that you no longer stock the item, 301 it to a related product page, or 301 it to your home page.
Never, ever, ever... ;-)

Aw I missed this one from Google - either I'm not signed up for their emails or they didn't send it to US publishers.
I'm really curious about the sitelinks - I've noticed them on some sites but none of mine. They don't show up when I search for my site - I'll have to see if I can figure out a way to get them for my sites.

I suggest everyone pay extra close attention to Tip #3, there is no exaggeration when I say this one is spot on.
I check my site stats a lot, or some of them at least and I get dozens and dozens of hits a day on my gay pride jewelry blog from people searching images. That and my beauty blog get the most hits through image searches.

Another tip that I recommend is link internally. Link the appropriate keywords on some pages to others on your website. These pingbacks help on a couple of levels, especially by making your pages easier for Google to find and crawl. Internal linking like this is super easy to do as well.
