You can even automatically place the most sought after products higher up the listings and permanently on the front page (replacing random products). Sought after products are purely determined by the amount of external traffic driven to your website and seeing which product pages they land on. By making these products more prominent, they will receive better rankings in the search engines (as they will be on the front-page of your site / higher up the listings). |
