This infographic comes to us from ZippyCart.com, which touts itself as the Internet’s leading e-commerce software review website. While this infographic doesn’t 100% have to do with e-commerce, ZippyCart does have an audience for it, as many merchants want to know how to improve their SEO to rank better in search engines. While there are many factors that go into SEO, most optimizers target Google, and to target Google is to target the idea that created the search engine: PageRank. As the infographic states:

PageRank is a 0-10 score assigned by Google that rates the popularity of an indexed web page based on the number and type of external links pointing to that page.

While that may sound complicated, this infographic does a wonderful job of simplifying the entire thing, by comparing PageRank to a high school popularity contest like running for prom king. Once you understand that this is what the infographic is about, it’s rather easy to navigate through it and learn all of the intricacies of Google’s infamous PageRank score. The infographic shows that links from certain websites mean more than others, just like votes from certain members of the student body will mean more than votes from the less popular crowd of burn outs and band nerds (I was a band nerd, so I can say that).

This infographic has gotten a great deal of love since its creation, and many out there have cut off the bottom to try and pass this off as their own creation. Because of this, I suggest that anyone thinking of creating an infographic think hard about where they place their company logo. When you place a logo where people can cut it off, it harms your chances of getting the credit you deserve for creating a killer infographic!

ZippyCart.com has put out another cool infographic that relates to e-commerce by providing insight into Halloween sales and trends. Halloween is a critical point in the year for many e-commerce retailers, and for some it is the peak season for generating revenue. Halloween e-commerce sites have been promoted over the last month, as they want to be top of mind when consumers go to search for Halloween costume ideas in 2010.

This Halloween infographic starts out by looking at the participation level over the past three years. There is a direct correlation to sales as more people participating equals more Halloween costumes purchased. In 2009 Halloween participation declined, which was most likely due to poor economic conditions. Spending also declined in 2009. However 2010 is looking better, as things are expected to pick back up, which should equate to healthy online sales for Halloween costumes and decorations.

Next this infographic dives into the four most popular categories which are driving consumers to spend money at Halloween. These include Halloween costumes, greetings cards, candy, and decorations. When it comes to spending by age, consumers 18-44 all spend about $68 each. However the older demographics are less likely to spend money for Halloween. Another interesting section on this infographic is about the top search terms that people are using in regard to the Halloween holiday. Seven out of the top ten terms relate to costumes, and this makes sense since it is the most important piece to celebrating Halloween.

Overall this is a really fun and informative infographic that helps you better understand Halloween sales and trends. I am not sure if the data is out there, but it would be cool to learn more about recent Halloween costumes that flopped and had poor sales. There are a lot of odd Halloween costumes that come out each year, and not all of them can be top sellers.

Detailed infographic from ZippyCart that makes it easy to understand the short, but important history of e-commerce. The infographic starts at 1979, when Michael Aldrich developed a predecessor to online shopping that we know and love today. It also shows Jane Snowball, who in 1984 became the first online home shopper. Things really started to heat up in 1990, when Tim Berners Lee created the first web browser, and was credited with inventing the World Wide Web. Things soon progressed and the dot com boom began, but then became the dot com bust in 1999 when the stock market hit a hiccup, and people stopped hazardously investing in companies that had no real business model. Today we have the trends of social commerce and mobile commerce leading the way, and we can only wait to see what the next big trend in e-commerce will be.
