Eagle Pass history[edit]
Eagle Pass was the first American settlement on the Rio Grande. Originally known as Camp Eagle Pass, it served as a temporary outpost for the Texas militia, which had been ordered to stop illegal trade with Mexico during the Mexican-American War.[3] Eagle pass is so named because the contour of the hills through which the Rio Grande flows bore a fancied resemblance to the outstretched wings of an eagle.[4]
General William Leslie Cazneau (1807–1876) founded the Eagle Pass townsite in the 1840s.[5]
In 1850, Rick Pawless opened a trading post called Eagle Pass. In 1871, Maverick County was established, and Eagle Pass was named the county seat. During the remainder of the 19th century, schools and churches opened, the mercantile and ranching industries grew, and a railway was built.
The United States Army established the presumably permanent Fort Duncan on March 27, 1849, a few miles upstream from Camp Eagle Pass. Captain Sidney Burbank supervised the construction of Fort Duncan, which was named after Colonel James Duncan, who had fought in the Mexican War. After the Mexican-American War, trade flourished under the protection of the fort. The fort was near the trail of westward immigration to California. It also served as an outpost against hostile Apache. It was abandoned and reopened several times. In March 1860, it served as the base of operations against the border assaults arranged by Juan N. Cortina.[6]
Fort Duncan was held by the Confederacy during the American Civil War. On July 4, 1865, General Joseph O. Shelby, en route to offer his troops' service to Maximilian in Mexico, stopped at Fort Duncan and buried in the Rio Grande the last Confederate flag to have flown over his men.[3] In 1870, Colonel Dariela Velazquez de Longoria trained Seminole and African American scouts at Fort Duncan. After several decades of deactivation, Fort Duncan was activated as a training camp during World War I. In 1938, the City of Eagle Pass acquired the fort and still operates a museum and a children's library at the site.[6]
The rancher and gunfighter King Fisher lived in Eagle Pass until his ambush and murder in San Antonio in 1884.
The City of Eagle Pass was sued by the US government to gain access to the land and construct a fence on the United States-Mexico border.[7]
Eagle Pass is located at 28°42′38″N 100°29′22″W / 28.71056°N 100.48944°W (28.710622, -100.489331).[8]

Q&A: Verizon's CTO digs into 4G
BARCELONA--So what's a big CDMA operator like Verizon Wireless doing at a conference hosted by the GSM Association?
Well, it looks like the old technology wars that divided the wireless industry are being laid to rest as operators begin marching toward building the next-generation 4G networks. While there are still technology debates, most of the world's mobile operators, including nearly every GSM provider, are planning to use the same technology to build their 4G networks.
This is a very big deal for the wireless industry, which has suffered from infighting and technology incompatibilities over the years.

This is a remix of 'Make it Bun Dem' by Damian Marley and Skrillex. I originally started this song to enter a competition, but since I did not finish on time I never handed it in. It's one of my favorites off of the EP and is super heavy.

Creating Change Day Three: 'We're Not Just In This Movement For Ourselves'
Dr. Mary Frances Berry Affirms Sexual Freedom as a Human Right; Amber Hollibaugh Calls for End to Ageism in the LGBT Movement
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
After Doria Roberts received the Creating Change Award from the Task Force, she showed her appreciation by delivering an inspiring performance. Weaving a background tapestry of interlocking musical lines and the words of activist Angela Davis using her acoustic guitar and a sequencer, Roberts then jumped down from the stage and led the audience in rhythmic exchanges on why they should be activists:
"I am lost in a world that's not looking for me."
"If my body wants to lay next to her body it's nobody's business but mine."
"This bridge called my back is no longer for hire."
These lines interspersed with the crowd's response of "Why, why, why?"
Doria Roberts, a founding member of the Queerstock festival, a performer at LadyFest, and a contributing artist for Rock for Choice and Rock the Vote has attended the conference since 2001, performing and leading workshops for youth.
Affirming Sexual Freedom as a Human Right
Following on the heels of Roberts, Dr. Mary Frances Berry talked about the need to "affirm sexual freedom as a human right." Dr. Berry is a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania, the chairperson of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, and a board member of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation. She spoke of "the story" that society accepts about a given group of people, and that the struggle for full inclusion depends on changing the story that people tell themselves about that group. Dr. Berry admonished the audience, "If you get ahead of the story that the public is willing to accept, you'll lose." Dr. Berry also called on those at the conference to see their work in a greater context: "When you're in a movement, you're not just in a movement for yourself, you're in a movement for all the people who aren't able to or can't speak for themselves."
An End to Ageism in the LGBT Movement
Continuing on the theme of seeing the movement in a greater context, Amber Hollibaugh introduced herself as a "feminist, poor white-trash, high-femme dyke" to the enthusiastic applause of those in attendance. As Director of National Initiatives for SAGE (Senior Action in a Gay Environment) she spoke of the need to develop an equality movement in which lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people can contribute for the entirety of their lives. She illuminated the Conference on the issues of LGBT aging, including economic hardship, access to healthcare, non-biological family ties that struggle for recognition, sexual freedom, and representation of LGBT identity in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. "We are working in a movement that assures everyone value, dignity, and integrity when we are young and old," Hollibaugh said, "let's commit to something that each one of us can grow in."
All three speakers expressed their anger and frustration at the outcome of the recent election, but found the Creating Change Conference to be an invigorating resurrection of hope. They stressed the need for the LGBT community to come together for support and in resistance of the current administration, and to dare to imagine a different future of freedom and equality. To make this new future a reality, the speakers emphasized the need to see the LGBT movement in terms of the larger struggle for sexual, gender, economic, and racial justice.
The Creating Change Conference will close today with an address from Saint Louis native Keith Boykin. 2,500 LGBT activists will take away from the Creating Change conference a reenergized spirit to meet upcoming battles and reinvigorated to build the strength and power of their state and local organizations.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Book Description:Where do broken hearts go? To Las Vegas, of course! At least they do if they belong to real-estate agent London Harris and restaurateur Bernard Phillips. Too bad what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there. . . London and Bernard jet off to Vegas for a night of parties and casinos to numb their broken hearts. What they don't count on, however, is waking up next to each other the following morning with a nasty hangover and a signed marriage certificate. London and Bernard nix their plans to quietly and quickly annul the marriage when London's grandmother uses a fast tongue and biblical principles to convince them to try to make their marriage work.It doesn't take the newlyweds long to realize that maintaining a friendship is a lot harder than sustaining a marriage. Their constant bickering leads London to finding solace with Creighton, an old flame who's trapped in a loveless marriage of his own. Their marriage is further strained when Rayne, a sexy new temptress, sets her sights on Bernard. After a night of passion leads to unintended consequences, London and Bernard seek God for answers and are forced to decide if loving someone means holding on to that person at all costs or being willing to let go.

I have had the area rug for about 2 months now. I love it! It is in my family room... has gorgeous colors greens, reds, golds and blues... can tie in any of these in your decor accents. It doesn't shed and looks nice all the time. Doesn't show any dirt! ... I have 2 cats, a dog and 2 kids... it is perfect... I cannot say enough nice things about it... in fact, I loved it so much, I ordered the same carpet for my upstairs bedroom! Thanks for offering this! It is very plush too! You will not be disappointed!
We hesitantly ordered the rug with our fingers crossed that we would be happy with what showed up. Having looked at rugs at many different stores and seeing what a rug in this price range looked like, we were more than satisfied from the second we unrolled it. The colors were vibrant. The quality was way better than expected. It is thick and plush and if we need to buy a rug on the future, this will e my first and probably only stop.
I hesitated for two months in making a rug purchase online but fially did it and was not dissappointed. Loved the rug. It has enough plush to feel great under bare feet, it laid flat after just one day, and the colors are pretty. It made my bedroom more complete and lively. No regrets here!
I had been eyeing this rug for quite some time. After reading all of the positive reviews, I decided to go for it. This rug is such great quality for the money. It has a beautiful design and feels soft and plush underfoot. It rolled out nicely and was completely flattened in less than 24 hours. There was no discernible odor. I love the colors! If you're on the fence, go for it.
I really like this rug. We have three dogs so the darker color was great. There are plenty of additional hot colors to add a pop of color. Overall great run and good price
Had searched for a rug for quite awhile when I saw this one--debated buying it for awhile. So glad I decided to go with it. It is very pretty. Fibers are tightly woven, colors are bright and crisp. It's just what I wanted to brighten the room where I spend a lot of time. Thank you, Overstock.com for this product. Will check with you again when I need to purchase an item for my home.
Great rug! Very high quality with a great price! Very happy with my purchase.
This rug came in 3 days and when I unrolled it I fell in love with it!!
Glad I purchased this rug. Awesome quality for the price. Color is just like photo. Love it!!!
I am pleased with how this rug is, I didn't quite expect how large the floral patten is, but with calm furniture, it looks really, really nice. The rug is thick enough you can get away without putting a carpet pad under it, it is still squishy and comfortable. I cannot believe how inexpensive this rug is, for the quality. I would definitely buy more if I had more rooms!

I just didn't know if that was the intent of the audio calibration to have all speakers at the same output, or if its intentional to have the surrounds at a lower level. I did bump them up after the calibration and watched Dark Side of the Moon and really enjoyed the soundstage.
I know it all comes down to personal preference but was trying to figure out why the surrounds were 2dB lower.

I used to want to go up to 14 when I was younger. Now that I am older, and not married yet; probably won't be for still a long time, nor do I have children I want to wait till marriage. I am older now still young enough, but the way it's going I'd end up having a child probably min-thirties granted I get married hopefully soon. With that said in reality I'd be lucky if I had even one child, or two.
I would name my child River if a boy and Charlotte if a girl. If I ended up with two children it would be: Charlotte and Hermione for girls maybe even River. River, and I always change my second boy name often the rest of the names have been solid. If I had a second son I'd either name him one of these: Clyde, Bruce, London, Chester or Robin most likely.Last edited by sabrinafair; May 15th, 2013 at 11:30 PM.

If I were confronted that my daughter was bullying, I would immediately apologize on behalf of my child to the teacher/parent. Then I would investigate why my daughter wasn't feeling good about herself to have to physically, verbally or mentally abuse someone else. I would work harder to make sure her needs were being met and remind her how it felt when she was once bullied-not fun.

More than 30 years ago, Mitchell Energy (now part of Devon Energy Corp.) brought the C.W. Slay No. 1 well into production in Wise County, Texas, just north of Fort Worth. The well, considered the first production in the Barnett shale, marked the dawn of an unconventional era. The shale boom that the well heralded was made possible by technology in the form of three-dimensional seismic surveys, directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing--all of which, in turn, depended on high-performance steel.
The steelmaking industry is now reaping the benefits of what it helped sow in the hard, dry soil of north Texas. The shale boom has made natural gas--the cleanest-burning fossil fuel--significantly less expensive, and orders of magnitude more plentiful than at any time since the hydrocarbon era began. With expectations that natural gas will be readily available and at a less-volatile price than in the past, steelmakers are planning new facilities to use natural gas directly at the burner tips, to fire electric power generation, and even as a source of carbon in melt.

Photo: Sean Lee Davies Q: I'm a single mom of four kids ages 15 to 21, and I'm thinking about going back to school. Right now I cut hair at a barbershop and work part-time at a museum; neither job includes health benefits or a retirement plan. My dream is to become a sonographer, which would require attending an 18-month training program that costs $25,000. I have enough emergency savings to cover my living expenses while I take classes, have only four years left on my home mortgage, and also receive child support. Can I afford to take this step?
A: Mom, you are making me smile. I love that you're working toward a dream, not just a job. And I am beyond thrilled that you're asking tough financial questions before you take on any debt—that's how you stay out of trouble down the line. Based on what you've said, I think we can make your wish come true. Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the Web site FinAid.org, advises prospective students to avoid borrowing an amount greater than they expect to take home in their first year on the job. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for a sonographer is $65,210—more than double the amount you'll need. Keep in mind, though, that this number includes wages for all sonographers, not just rookies. And I want you to do some additional research to find out what these medical professionals make in your area. Your next step is to form a borrowing strategy. There are two lending options for higher education: federal loans and money offered by private institutions. Always exhaust federal funds first; they are a better deal in terms of both cost (they have fixed interest rates) and repayment options (these vary based on factors like your income and the amount of time you plan to spend paying back your loan). Since you aren't a dependent of someone else, under the Stafford loan program for independent students you can borrow up to $9,500 for your first academic year and up to $10,500 for the following year at a maximum interest rate of 6.8 percent. (Check with your school to find out how these limits apply to an 18-month program.) These funds should meet most of your tuition expenses, but don't hesitate to make yourself a pest at your school's financial aid office. Find out what you need to do to become a candidate for additional scholarship or work-study opportunities. If you still can't cover your costs, I'd love for you to take care of your remaining needs by continuing to cut hair part-time while you take classes. Or perhaps it makes sense to delay school for one more year and spend that time saving money. Q. I'm a junior in college, where my tuition after financial aid is $3,000 a semester. When I started school, I took out private loans, but now I've saved enough from working part-time and during the summer to cover the rest of my costs. Should I stop borrowing and pay my own way through graduation? A: Pay as you go is always the best approach, so if you can avoid debt, you should. I am concerned, however, that you financed your first two years of school with private student loans, which typically have variable interest rates. When rates go up—that's a matter of when, not if—the monthly cost of the loan will rise as well. My guess is that you were charged an interest rate based in part on your FICO credit score; if it was low (say, less than 700), you could be paying a rate of more than 10 percent. The last thing you want is for your borrowing costs to continue to climb just as you launch your career. Consider this strategy, which involves taking on debt in a smarter way: Use federal Stafford loans to cover your remaining tuition costs. The borrowing limits for dependent students are $7,500 in both your junior and senior years, which is more than enough to take care of your needs. I want you to use the funds you currently have—and the money you'll continue to earn from jobs over the next two years—to start paying off your private student loans immediately. The faster you settle those obligations, the more interest you'll save, and the better off you'll be. Next: How to help a recent grad From the February 2013 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Bethesda's got some 'splaining to do about why we should be excited for another fantasy MMORPG, but its new 9-minute-and-change gameplay reel is a good argument for The Elder Scrolls Online. The video gives a fairly detailed look at the game's controls, character customization, exploration, and realm vs. realm combat.
Lead gameplay designer Nick Konkle explains the game's controls and combat around the 2:20 mark. "This is an Elder Scrolls combat system," he says. Moving the mouse controls where you look and aims your weapon, left click delivers an attack and a longer press gives it some extra power, and right click blocks. Characters can sprint, crouch, and sneak as expected.
Game director Matt Firor also reveals that the game will not have individual servers, instead putting all players on one "megaserver" with broken-out game spaces, much like EVE Online. The title has set classes unlike other Elder Scrolls games, but Bethesda promises varying play styles based on flexible equipment choices.
Will The Elder Scrolls Online require subscriptions or be free-to-play? Will Bethesda be able to satisfy fans of Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind? Is the era of traditional fantasy MMORPGs over? It's tough to say, but as long as we keep getting substantial reveals like these, our interest is officially maintained.

Well time to quote things back from page one ;)
What is the difference between reading books and reading on the internet?
Can't get cancer from a book. Doesn't the internet and computers bleach your screen from the screens light or give you cancer or some type of radiation?
People doesn't even like the classical games (hopscotch, Heads Up 7 Up, etc.).
When you say people are you referring to just children or adults included, because these are really just kid games, and I can assure you kids still do play them. I know this because I see them play these types of games.
People nowadays doesn't read books as much.
I read all the time (novels) and I'm still 17 and enjoy it. Most of what you're saying really has no basis or evidence, other than the fact that people rely on gadgets most often.
P.S. Stop using doesn't, you come off as kind of illiterate.

never heard of such thing. only that it (like every unnatural light source) keeps your brain more active after dark. and that you can get sleeping problems if you try to go from screen light to sleepy stage. your brain needs more time to come to rest. but this is getting into to much detail now.

Interesting, cancer from a book. Once you read a book (me), and I cannot stop reading. The invigoration spreads all over me saying I should read this book, just like an adrenaline rush. (Wierd analogy, but you get the point?)

Well, it has got it's good points and the bad. That goes for everything, but in this case, I'd say the world isn't really that bad a place. Not saying that it's "picture perfect", sometimes it's a horrible and desolate place, but we're learning from our mistakes, and improving. That is, if you know where to look.

Hi my name is D., I am writing to you because my girlfriend received a VCH from you and highly recommends you. I just received a Prince Albert piercing on Friday March 19, 2011. I stopped bleeding the next day but, yesterday I noticed that I was extremely swollen on my foreskin. It hurts a bit. Not really sure what I should do because the person I went to is currently on vacation. Can you give me any tips on how to make the swelling go down?Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my email.
I asked him to send photos, which he did.
Upon seeing the pictures, I advised him to head to the Emergency Room immediately. I recognized the condition called paraphimosis--swelling of the foreskin.In his case it was caused by the foresking being retracted for too long. Sometimes the fluid build-up needs to be drained before the foreskin can be replaced.
About his visit to the ER, he said:

If you'd like to make an appointment, email me at email@example.com or use the contact page on The Piercing Bible website.
Let me know which piercings(s) you'd like to get done. If you're planning to get a female genital piercing, please send me clear, close-up photos (as described here) so I can see if you're anatomically suited to the placement(s) you desire.
Also let me know which day you'd prefer and the approximate time of day.
I received a message from a piercee who had a question about his Prince Albert (male genital) piercing. Here is our exchange of correspondence:
Hi I wonder if you could help me please. I got a PA done about 6 months ago and I think that it maybe moving up rather than staying in place. I changed to a smaller diameter of ring without a ball a few months ago and it seemed to be better. Its 2.4mm thickness. I'm also conserned about the lack of tissue that seems to be holding it in. I've had bad experienced with peircing before and I'd rather not take this out! Thanks, Jon
Hi Jon,How much tissue is there between the end of your urethra (where the jewelry rests) and the placement of the piercing? If it is too narrow, that can cause migration. And once migration starts, it can be hard to stop it.Feel free to send photos; I'd be happy to evaluate it for you.
Hi Thanks for getting back to me. I think theres around 1.5cm between the piercing and the urethra. But it moves quite far over if you know what i mean so its less than that sometimes. Im worried about having sex with it in incase it comes through. I'll try and send some photos. Thanks Jon
Jon,Yes, please send a photo or two. That doesn't sound like very much tissue. Does it seem that there is less and less tissue between the piercing and the edge of your urethra, or does it seem stable?E
I received this message about Prince Albert piercing through the contact form:
Hello Elayne, Picked up a copy of your book here in Canada last night. Holy Cow!! I didn't anticipate this much info--thank you. I have never been pierced before (hey, I'm a forty something)and am interested in a PA. You discussed retiring this piercing stating that there is the possibility it may not close up depending on the time you've had it and how large of jewelery has been used. You also indicated discussing with a surgeon/urologist about having it sutured up, and the pros and cons of doing this. Have you every been informed of what these pro's and con's could be?? I would like to know in advance of doing anything. Thanks, any comments would be greatly appreciated. V.
Here's the section from The Piercing Bible about retiring the Prince Albert Piercing:
Prince Albert Piercing: RetiringUnlike most piercings, once the Prince Albert is healed, it is usually there to stay. Even if you abandon it, you can probably reinsert jewelry later. Depending on how large the piercing was stretched, the hole could remain open enough to leak after you remove the jewelry. Simply covering the hole with your finger during urination is an accept- able resolution for most men. If not, consult an understanding urologist or surgeon to learn about the pros and cons of a procedure to excise and stitch up your unwanted aperture.
My repsonse:
Hi V., Thanks so much for the positive feedback; I really appreciate it.
I wrote an article about genital piercings and it appears on IntimateMedicine.com. This is the first article in a series that will be posted on that website. This one is essentially an introduction to genital piercings. Check it out!
I ran into this story online of a Prince Albert piercing I did for a client when I was in San Francisco:
Finally got it done. I'm a little over fifty years of age and got it done. I first convinced my wife to get a VCH but then she wanted to get her actual clit pierced and a triangle piercing. She got her VCH about a month prior to getting her clit and triangle done and then I told her I would do a PA. She said it was ok with her. I'll let her write her own story since this is mine. I had bought the Piercing Bible and we read all we could with the type of piercings that we wanted to do.
We saw Elayne Angel in San Francisco and got pierced at Cold Steel Elayne asked me to send her some photo's first to see if I was suitable for a PA since I am uncircumsized. She said I was so I got an appointment with her. I undressed and the little fellow got even smaller just thinking about getting the head of my dick pierced. I had read that getting the recieving tube placed down the uretha was a pain, but when she placed the recieving tube in me it was no big deal as a matter of fact I enjoyed it. Then it was time for the actual piercing and the needle looked like the end of a shotgun, but with a little sting it was done. Again no big deal and just a little blood for the next couple of days.
I started with a 10ga but have since gone to a 6ga and I plan on going to a 0ga or a 00ga. I really enjoy it and the sex is great. I did jack off after the fourth day (with the wife watching) and had some blood in the cum. Waited a week more before we had sex and what an experience. I plan on getting an apradavya and a frenum ladder in the near future. There wasn't any pain with this type of piercing and if you are thinking about it I would suggest that you go for it.
I found that I'd been quoted in someone's blog post today about the Prince Albert piercing. I helped to settle the case on whether Prince Albert himself actually had a Prince Albert piercing (he didn't):
Another thing: according to The Piercing Bible by Elayne Angel (p. 156), the healing time for a Prince Albert is "4 to 8 weeks or longer". Now, in a time when infection could not be reliably controlled, who is going to pierce themselves anywhere - let alone somewhere that delicate? Are you beginning to smell a hoax? In her book, Angel confirms my suspicions that Prince Albert did not have a Prince Albert, as does Matthew Sweet in Inventing the Victorians. So why do so many people think he did? Where did this "dressing ring" thing get started? According to Angel, these stories were made up by a man who called himself Doug Malloy (real name Richard Simonton). He is considered the father of modern piercing culture in the US.

Should fitness gadget makers fear the iPhone 5S?
Smartphones -- and the iPhone in particular -- are the Swiss Army knives of tech. With each new version, they absorb more and more functionality from "dedicated" devices -- everything from point-and-shoot cameras, camcorders, portable gaming systems, dedicated GPS devices, e-book readers, and PDAs, just to name a few. And now, with the introduction of the iPhone 5S, another product category may well be on the chopping block: health trackers.
What's sobering for makers of products like the Fitbit Flex or Jawbone Up is a tiny chip in the new iPhone called the M7 "motion coprocessor.". (… Read more

E-Commerce On-Site Optimization Tips
An e-commerce site has it own unique challenges and goals when it comes to SEO. Large e-commerce sites could have ten of thousands of product pages, each which need to rank well in the search engines for its appropriate keywords and related searches. It is important to remember that the main goal of any e-commerce site is to encourage visitors to buy, so content and site structure needs to actively reflect that goal.
Regardless of what your e-commerce site may sell, from wholesale school supplies to high-end speakers to commercial bakery equipment, the following SEO tips can be applied to better optimize your site, making it more search engine and user friendly.
1. Weigh time vs. return
In an ideal world, every page of your 10,000-page e-commerce site would be manually optimized. This involves creating a unique Meta tag and description, URL, product description and a customized image tag for each product page. However, manually optimizing each product page isn't a quick or easy task.
That is why it is important to first optimize the top revenue generating and top profitable product pages. You can optimize the rest of your site in batches. This way you can begin the second part of your SEO campaign, link building, on the most profitable pages without waiting to finish the rest of your on-site SEO.
2. Create unique product descriptions
Many manufacturers will send out their products with a generic description. If your e-commerce site sells clothes, for instance, each pair of jeans you sell comes with a pre-written product description. You want to create new and unique product descriptions for everything that you sell. Chances are you aren't the only one who sells that pair of jeans.
How many other sites are using the manufacturer's description on their product pages? Search engines frown on duplicate content and your site could end up being penalized because of it. You need to incorporate your unique selling proposition in the product descriptions and encourage a user to pick your e-commerce site over another.
3. Develop an internal linking structure
One way to keep your visitors engaged is to create an internal linking structure. Look at the behemoth of online shopping, Amazon. When a shopper gets down to the end of the page, they are given "suggestions" based on the product they are currently looking at. You can do the same thing for your e-commerce site.
What other kinds of products would someone be interested in purchasing if they are looking at product X? The internal links can keep a visitor clicking through your site and adding things to their cart as they go.
4. Treat each product page as a landing page
Think back to the last time you visited an e-commerce site to do some shopping of your own. Did you even bother checking out the homepage? Probably not. Most likely you searched for the product by name and clicked on a link in the SERP that brought you directly to that product page. An e-commerce site's homepage isn't as powerful as other sites, as it is not the usual entry point for visitors. Therefore, each product page needs to be optimized and treated like a landing page.
5. Incorporate customer reviews/testimonials
One of the biggest problems many e-commerce sites have is a lack of unique content. One way to counter that is to incorporate consumer product reviews and testimonials onto your pages. Customer reviews also lend to the user-experience and build trust. Visitors are more confident in their purchasing decision when they see that others have made the same purchase and liked your product. A good review might also be the thing that convinces a visitor to buy.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of how to better optimize an e-commerce site, but these 5 tips are a good place for site owners to start. Optimizing an e-commerce site, especially large ones, take a lot of time and effort. However, the effects of doing so (namely, increasing your sales) are well worth it. Most e-commerce site management systems make optimizing your site simple and easy, so don't get overwhelmed by the task.

I'd say the hardest part of these tips is to get costumers to drop a review after they completed the buying process. Normally the tend to come back to the product page. Any suggestions to incite them to do so?
Interesting Post Nick!
Out of all the tips what I believe is the most interesting and important tip is to 'develop a proper Internal linking'. Many developers and site owners especially in eCommerce sites tend to drop the idea of internal linking but from the SEO and usability point of view this is very important! And can produce dramatically positive results in search engine if done correctly!

Watch Criminal Minds
The Criminal Minds team is composed of four men and three women. Each member of the team uses their own unique talents to excel out in the field.
Aaron Hotchner is the leader of the team. Hotchner, commonly referred to as "Hotch", avoids showing emotion and always remains calm to keep the team under control. Derek Morgan is the hand to hand combat fighter of the group. Morgan, a former college football player and Chicago cop, is the highest skilled and trained fighter in the BAU.
Jennifer Jareau is a criminal profiler that also serves as the team's media coordinator. J.J.'s most important responsibility is controlling what information the media knows and releases, which is very useful because in many cases the BAU communicates to the killer through the media. Doctor Spencer Reed is the genius of the group. He holds 3 PhDs, several other degrees, and graduated from high school at the age of 12.
Super Special Agent David Rossi is the oldest and most experienced member of the team. He was one of the team's original founders and although he retired for a few years, he is back to being a full time member of the BAU. Penelope Garcia is a computer technician for the FBI. She is also a hacker, meaning that she uses both the FBI's technology and her computer skills to help the BAU find the criminals they are looking for. Emily Prentiss formally worked at Interpol, but now works with the FBI. She has a colorful past in terms of the high risk, undercover work she has done.
