Over the years, we’ve had the oppurtunity to work with so many different clients in various industries: the public sector, fashion, travel, industrial, retail and a whole lotta others. We’ve experimented, researched, used and tested many different ecommerce platforms and solutions and optimized so many designs that it’s come to the point now where we know what works and what doesn’t. So, do you wanna know how we do it?

Good morning SEO world. Today I read something pretty interesting on SEOMoz. I’d like to do a little debate/exercise thingy.
- Everyone go to Google.com
- Search for the word “Apple”
- Now what do you see?

The opinions in this post are my own and based on my own experience.
There are a lot of opinions and arguments about the quality vs quantity in the SEO world and the thing that keeps coming up again and again is Link Quality. But frustratingly enough, everyone’s definition of quality varies. We keep pushing for High Quality links but what ARE they? Where can we find them? How do we get them?

A Brief History of Social Bookmarking
Hi! Its me again! I’m back with more social media goodness to share. This time round, I’m touching on the brief history of social bookmarking and the advent of the image bookmarking phenomenon, PLUS a list of 10 image bookmarking sites (and 2 more!) and the seo benefits of image bookmarking. Bargain!
UPDATE 17th May: Rand fishkin at SMX London has just confirmed that image ALT tags weigh more than H1 tags.

X-Cart is one of many shopping cart solutions available on the net (we’ve already worked with Magento and CubeCart) and recent developments in the Blueclaw e-commerce team has enabled us to work with this shopping cart solution and test its capabilities for one of our clients.
Yes, the client may consider using online shopping cart solutions like Bigcartel (up to 100 products only) and Shopify (up to 50, 000 products only at 699USD per month) and think these may be a simpler solution but is it really cost effective?
“Why spend 700USD a month just to keep the site running when you can buy a shopping cart software yourself and get it customized and have full control over it for much less? Isn’t the point of an online store to reduce overheads as much as possible and concentrate more on selling?”

Like all ecommerce solutions, X-Cart has its own pros and cons but right now I’m going to talk about the features that I believe will help clients with
- large inventories
- medium to large customer base (dealing with delivery and returns)
- utilizing different payment gateways
- run affiliate schemes
- and desire a fully customized, stylish and professional shopping website
