OMG! Off to SF for OMW!

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Ignore the title of this post, it just sort of happened…
Tomorrow… actually, a little later this morning (I can’t sleep), I’ll be heading to the airport and off to the west coast to attend the Online Market World conference in the Moscone Centre in Sunny San Francisco (IS it sunny in SF?)

1ShoppingCart Buttons

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

 
Periodically we receive requests for the ability to remove the ‘continue shopping’ button from the shopping cart checkout page.

Online Ads Work

Friday, September 5th, 2008

 
This week I’ve been dabbling my toes in the perpetually ongoing ‘Online Ads’ debate.
Specifically looking into the ‘do people really click on ads’ portion of this multi-armed octopus.
And then it hit me… even I click on ads all the time!
