Ecommerce developers with Magento

It seems to me that the most common SEO misconception that occurs is the one regarding the sitemap. I often see discussions on business forums about SEO and a very common advice people get when they ask what to do to improve their website’s SEO is to submit a sitemap to Google.

Finally, it was about time to release one of my Ninja posts to the public. Who knows, maybe you will find another ninja post from time to time…

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just check this post.

OK, now lets continue with e-commerce part of the post. Here you can find some tips and tricks for increasing e-commerce conversion rates

Most of you that don’t deal with SEO daily will not notice much difference but this is in fact a pretty big change for some websites. Last Friday, Google changed this rule they had that only two results from a single domain can be shown on one page of search results.

I’ve heard of PostRank a long time ago and I’ve been using it since to track the influence of certain websites in the social web. PostRank makes awesome rang lists for almost any topic you can think of, ranking websites by their social influence. Have a look at the E-Commerce topic to see what I’m talking about.

In this blog post I’m referring to the OldSpice’s hilarious commercial and sometimes even funnier video responses they produced. Although the marketing campaign was mostly recognized by online community as something cool, innovative and fun, there was lots of skepticism in the marketing industry about this campaign bringing any meaningful results in form of increased company profit.

Lets start with a question: What are the chances that an online store built just 5 years ago can compete with the modern solutions that embraced all of the awesome stuff that emerged in the past few years?

First of all, I’d like to say that GetElastic is usually an awesome and very useful blog for anyone that does anything related to eCommerce. Linda wrote hundreds of extremely good posts over there, but this new guest post at GetElastic was kind of dangerous for site owners and I’ll try to explain why, putting it as simple as possible.

By now, everybody that reads this blog has probably heard of upcoming Google TV, a device that is set to revolutionize the broadcasting industry and finally take it to the next step – the world of actual two way interaction. Since we deal with e-commerce here at inchoo, the first thing that popped into my head when I saw what Google TV is was its effect on e-commerce world.

A quick follow-up… I’ve been on a conference yesterday in Zagreb to watch Seth Godin and Alex Hunter (and some other people, not relevant for this story). It was pretty fun thanks to the Twitter wall behind the lecturers.

I had an opportunity to meet Alex Hunter in person. I was holding an iPad and he saw it for the first time in his life, ironically, here in Croatia. Seth told the same old story, so nothing new happened for people that read his books and watched his talks.

Resistance is futile. Ever since I saw the incredible growth of Facebook users in the international market I knew what was coming. It was the dawn of the new age of the Internet, one in which after a decade of Google’s domination we will get a new king. Few years ago, when I first argued with several colleagues at forums regarding the Facebook’s growth and its future they called me crazy. They said no website can ever become bigger then search giants. Oh boy were they wrong. In your face internet trolls…
