End user for sure. You can use best practice for the search engines but at the end of the day, it’s going to be users who buy from you, NOT google bots

Yep – @jake-hower called this one spot on. 

The thing is, you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.  A row of ducks can line up righrt next to a row of penguins and be quite happy.  Birds of a different feather don’t have to live on the same island to get along.  :D

When you’re doing it right, you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. 

Hi there Mark,I think people can make it seem a lot simpler than it is when writing content.The other members are right, you need to achieve that balance between SEO and good content, however unless writing is a skill the balance can often be difficult to achieve. I can certainly see the point to your question.

These days, we have so many other areas that will assist with SEO, obviously social media being a significant one. I would always strive for the seo/content balance, but if it is a struggle write for the visitor (and remember to keep it between 80 and 200 words for optimal indexing).

All the best MarkTracey

and  dont  forget the main thing…..you have to  have   what the  user  wants and is looking for…..  in other words  you  can do all the tekk stuff right and  still  fail if  you have the wrong   inventory for the  buyer…

. @amyhallbiz great point on the easy part….i think i read we were  giving  places  an even shorter time to   catch our attention….
