Consumers typically put a lot of weight into reviews. I do the same when shopping. Sometimes is very apparent when a seller writes their own reviews when an actual customer did it.

Amazon does a pretty good job reminding customers to ...

@techrater while I agree the title doesn't match the entire article, the writer does give great detailed info, with photos. The writer also explains how to add a pin it button to your website, which would bring natural promotion.

Nice article. You guys always seem to serve up an article about what I'm currenty working on. I've been evaluating carts fo weeks now. Unfortunately, you didn't cover the three I've narrowed it down to in this article. Deciding between: Shoppin...

Great info. Just made a few changes to my profile. I'm not sure that I agree with using a logo though. I see Twitter as a way to personalize my relationship with my customers or potential ones. A company logo as the avatar seems less personal. ...

I find it ironic that google instant launches right after the Texas Att General begins an investigation into their search algorithm practices. And it seems a lot of tech articles mention ad expenditures and big commerce sites are going to be g...

I absolutely love my Cartloom cart! No page reload, no taking customers to checkout every time they add to cart. And the mini cart pops out from the side every time they add something! Another plus is the 3 step/page clear cut checkout.

You guys always have incredible timing with your articles! I've been working on our first product feed for Amazon this past week. Launching a PPC campaign in the Beauty category. Hoping that it will have a higher conversion rate than our Google...

I offer free shipping for sample orders, and orders of $75 or more. Reasons:
~Average sample order only weighs 1 or 2 oz.
~Average sample order sale is $15.00
~ I make a lot of profit on the samples and full sized product and th...

So what keeps me from making a ton of non-menu pages on my site with one way links to my home page or other important page? Wouldn't that undermine this page rank theory? But hey! I'm willing to try anything legal.

Obviously PR is just ...

I don't accept returns unless it's damaged or the wrong item. Why? Because I offer samples of all of my cosmetics at ridiculously low prices with free shipping. Then I send them a coupon code for 10% off their full sized order, which helps re-c...

The timing of your articles is impeccable! After my first fraudulent order, you did an article on internet fraud. A few weeks ago I found a blog site using my product/site name and slogan. When clicked Norton popped up as having blocked a malic...
