    Ecommerce becoming depressing?

    It is so easy to just blame Google. I agree with you on one point. It is up to you to decide how many hoops you will jump through. However, I have never seen a business loose its ranking without reason. Many of the mistakes made online are down to lack of knowledge. Some are not. Everyone...

    Ecommerce becoming depressing?

    Where do you think Amazon and EBay get the majority of their traffic? Yes, Google. I think that half the problem here is the belief that Goggle is there for your benefit. Trust me it isn't. Google clearly have their own agenda. That doesn't make it bad. Believe me, we all need Google today...

    Ecommerce becoming depressing?

    Humour me for a moment. I deal mainly with small to medium size companies and zero corporate accounts. I can show you 1000's of pages where these businesses rank higher than all of the sites you mention. This is not isolated to one market but across many different markets. Furniture Sports and...

    Ecommerce becoming depressing?

    Like it or not Google have the power to make or break your business. In my experience any merchant who has lost to a Google update did so because they didn't follow the rules. Google make no secret about what to do and what to avoid. Merchants constantly try methods outside of those...

    You can't be serious. That is like saying any animal that relies on air to breath is dead. Without Google NO business can thrive online today. Any business that IS making it without Google is most definitely under trading.

    starting an online shop

    Hi If you intend to complete transactions online your card machine is not that much use to you. You can use your card machine for telephone orders. You need to apply to Streamline (or another merchant bank HSBC, Barclays etc) for a dedicated merchant account for online transactions. It is...

    google adwords

    Analysis of over 1 million online orders across many different online stores tells me that (kimmrunner)your thinking is wrong when it comes to most online sales. There is almost no loyalty online and unless you are a household name your customers will forget you in the days or weeks after their...

    google adwords

    It appears to me that there are a number of reasons that you would use google, et al, here are some of the most likely. 1. Searching for "How to" do something. 2. Searching generic terms, for inspiration on what to buy & information on a specific topic. 3. Looking for someone in particular. 4...

    google adwords

    There is no point using AdWords for your site when the first organic listing on Google sells the same products as you considerably cheaper. You will waste a great deal of money and sell nothing. Improve your organic listings and because you have no costs in reaching clients you should be able to...
