Show 09-24-06: Amazon’s WebStore, PPC Blues, Scanner Nirvana, Hitwise Christmas Projection, Dynamic URL’s, PPC Increase, Cellular Barcode, EC21, Toll Free Spelling
In announcing their new WebStore service, Amazon appears to have abandoned the internet standard racial rainbow of smiley-happy people for a more pensive, Ronald-from-Accounting persona.
Hitwise retail data analysis indicates that the fourth quarter’s tank is half-full. Amazon debuts a new WebStore service that upon further investigation yields some not so surprising GAPING HOLES. E-Auction-Air begins a rambunctious segue onto a new blog platform.
What you don’t know about dynamic URLs can and will definitely hurt you…this and other tidbits from the world of SEO. PPC keeps getting more and more expensive and its only going to get worse…find out what 85% of searchers say about paid listings. Motorola buys Symbol Tech… why barcode readers might be the next tool you add to your cell phone.
More competition for Jack Wa and Alibaba; this time its EC21….why there is a great opportunity for a third party to step in and make oversea’s sourcing practical for small businesses. If you’re taking your sweet time shipping or returning e-mails, you are definitely on the wrong side of retail history. A site that will help you s-p-e-l-l out toll free numbers your customers can remember.

I give out alot of good info but who has time learn it all? Plus answer all the emails right away, plus phone calls. For a one person operation like my self it not possiblem. Plus run auction on ebay, follow what other seller are doing.
I know about EC21, and Alibaba, I want do deal with them in part 2 of my import/export business, there one or two site like I can give if you want to know their URL. Part 1 is on ebay. Keep up the good work.
