Online trading (user to business)
Of all site types, trading sites have the most volatile content, the highest transaction volumes (with significant swing), the most complex transactions, and are extremely time sensitive. Auction sites are characterized by highly dynamic bidding against items with predictable life times.
Trading sites are tightly connected to the legacy systems. Nearly all transactions interact with the back-end servers. Security considerations are high, equivalent to online shopping, with an even larger number of secure pages. Search traffic is low volume.
