    Website to handle wholesale/dropship

    @preciousbags - If your going to do dropshipping make sure you have functionality to allow a dropshipper to get products via an API.

    Matt Cutts - The Decay and Fall of Guest Blogging

    I agree with OldWelshGuy on this, at the end of the day it's just a link on a webpage, that's it. Guest posting to me is usually 500 words of below average content, on a poor blog (which only got launched 2 months ago), has no social activity and usually a exact/phrase anchor link back to a...

    Hi, Anyone using Shopzilla to drive traffic? Their system is on a CPC basis so question everyone probably asks is: Does Shopzilla traffic convert as well as Google Adwords and do you find the CPC less, same, more than the CPC of Adwords?

    Google+ and SEO benefits question

    Well actually Google has cut back on Author snippets showing in results, they have started (I believe) to tweak their Author Rank algo so those authors who claim their content (using a reciprocal link) and it being consistently good (in the eyes of Google) should surface more in the SERP's.

    Affect of PayPal only payment on visitors (CRO)

    Hi, If your only payment method is PayPal, and because of this you only show the PayPal logo as the payment option around your website - say next to your 'Buy Now' button and maybe in the header next to the 'View Basket' link. This may put off visitors who don't have a PayPal account, as those...

    How do you promote an online business?

    If the method is as good as you say it is then expect your eBook to be distributed like wildfire for FREE by those who download it - I know that sounds harsh but usually if something is good it will be reproduced by others (to do the same thing, make cash, in the same way). Your find it attached...

    Whats better for a blog post. A share or a like?

    A share is more valuable than a like. When someone shares something the post itself is duplicated onto the user who shared it timeline. So if you post an article with an optimised title and someone re-shares it they are essentially creating a backlink using the title as anchor text. A 'Like' is...

    I don't think the title tag is measured by characters but by width so pixel length - and I think a good/well thought out value proposition like others mentioned will do a world of good.
