"Using e-commerce tracking in Google Analytics can be an invaluable source of keyword data for your search campaign."

Clicking on the E-Commerce tab and then drilling down to "non paid keywords" will reveal what keyterms are bringing in revenue and which ones are not performing. From this data you can shape a successful SEO campaign around the terms that actually convert, rather than terms you think will convert or have large amounts of search traffic.

Advanced tip: Use e-commerce tracking code on forms where goal tacking is not possible (those that send using javascript or Ajax and do not change the URL). The tracking code can be slipped in once the page is reloaded.
