    Payment Gateways - personal experience

    I'm going to have to put in another vote for Iridium. Anyone familiar with my old posts will know that I was a SagePay customer for many, many years, all the way back to Protx years. After several prolonged outages, we switched to Iridium. The difference in reliability is huge - these guys have...

    Moved from main forum- site review discussion

    I don't think this would be the case. Even if it was, it would only serve to increase the quality of the forum content.

    Moved from main forum- site review discussion

    I have a problem with this on two levels. First, the "no site reviews" rule is ridiculous - the forum encourages discussion of all aspects of business, so why single this one out? Second, the mods (including you OWG) interpretation of what constitutes a site review is inconsistent. Some posts...

    Moved from main forum- site review discussion

    About once a year I forget why I don't come here any more, and end up here. Thank you for the prompt reminder.

    Website - frontpage....

    Definitely the former. You are wasting valuable screen time. Put your best products on your homepage, as well as links to your best looking categories.

    Spring Fair 2013 - Birmingham

    This is a very good way of identifying yourself as a clueless newbie, and achieves very little. Instead of going round collecting a hundredweight of catalogues, go through the exhibitor list beforehand (it'll take you a few hours), and make a list of the exhibitors you most want to see (and...

    My Shoppingbank

    What have you got to lose? Any time and money you put into this, that's all. Fruugo has almost no web presence, just like MyShoppingBank before it, and all the other sites run by that company. You will gain nothing by being listed on the site.

    My Shoppingbank

    You are a Fruugo representative, and I claim my £5. Sad, pathetic attempt at reputation management.

    Fsb - Auto Membership Renewal ! = Theft

    I agree with your sentiment; the FSB have some dubious auto-renewal policies. But just to be clear, in your title, you said != theft. That means "does not equal". Your title doesn't make sense.

    Opinion: Why don't all businesses use text?

    So you keep saying, but unless you define the demographic and back your statement up with some data, it's just your opinion.

    Opinion: Why don't all businesses use text?

    And you call me naive... Two things. First, just because [large company x] does something, does not mean it is right, effective, or worth doing. Second, I find the fact that telcos have managed to con society into paying several pence to send 160 byte strings highly offensive. The cost to...

    Anyone used computer rendered product images?

    Are you suggesting that creating photo-realistic 3D renders of your products would be 'less hassle' than photographing them?

    Opinion: Why don't all businesses use text?

    What made you decide to use SMS and not email? Do you think they love texts more than they would love email?

    Opinion: Why don't all businesses use text?

    As a customer, I find texts annoying, intrusive, and not in any way useful. I would much rather receive an email than a text. When I receive an email, it is immediately available to me on my phone, my tablet, my desktop, and my laptop. My emails are archived, and searchable. They contain a lot...

    google and uk site on us servers

    Sure there is. In fact, there are many. If you are serving a primarily UK audience, host in the UK. It's that simple. You will have lower latency, more bandwidth, quicker DNS resolution, and more accurate SERPs. I have servers both in the UK and in the US, and use them for their home markets...
