Comment on Tech and social media news opinions – Pinterest and Google’s hardware foray by Christopher Allen

Sounds like you had a dud. I’ve had numerous Motorola products and they’ve been among the best I’ve ever owned. Motorola Surfboard Routers are consistently among the best out there. The Motorola Slvr and Razr I’ve owned took a licking and kept on ticking. I literally dropped them each over 50 times with no effects. They ended up immersed in the pool or river and were able to be rescued by replacing the battery and simple drying in a bag of rice. The Slvr even rolled down a large asphalt hill a number of times without effect. All of this was 3 – 7 years ago when they were making thicker aluminum alloy encased phones. Google made a great acquisition with Motorola.

Comment on Image SEO – host images on subdomain or subfolder? by William

- Hello, not sure if this page is still relevant. -

For SEO purposes, would it help much to have the html file on the sub domain as well?

OR do the images themselves only need to be on a sub domain?

example. “www.domain.com/work/gallery1.html” – While the images on this page are located at http://www.images.domain.com.

Just curious if either or mattered for speed and seo. Thanks ahead of time.

Comment on My SEO Review of the Volusion E-commerce CMS by David Tierney

Amazing when you share something on your blog how you can end up on the front page of a google search for a search phrase that one would think would have much higher competition. But here you are. I typed in “Volusion cms”.

That is, I have a potential client who mentioned the system to me and I had no idea what it was. I even clicked on the volusion.com website in the google add space and their site did not come up.

Anyways, thanks for the info. Best of luck with your project.

I like the cuddly cute sheep pic and the practicality of this post. Probably a lot of people wonder about this. Keep up the cuteness and usability.

For 90% of my projects I use my own bespoke store, that I wrote myself. Simple to use for my clients and doesn’t have, frankly, all the crap that is included with volusion. It’s also not based on classic ASP, like Volusion. For the other 10% I use opencart due to it’s ease of templating and speed (again, totally unlike Volusion as it’s a totally hosted solution, so makes templating a total pain in the ass to honest)

So do a winning on Amazon video? That’s a good idea. Might have to get on that tonight.

Good, but I’d like to see more of the WIN or FAIL type stuff – maybe an SEO WIN | FAIL series. Also, I’d like to hear your voice or watch videos on your site of you explaining this stuff.

Keep it comin’!

It’s really hard to get straight answers out of people trying to sell you software. I’m having the same problem with Facebook App companies right now. Thanks for sharing your perspective. What do you use now?

I’d like to echo your points on SEO above, but also add my own.

I was forced to use Volusion for a client, who wanted a bespoke design/functionality from myself, but wanted to use the actual Volusion shopping cart as a base (not my first choice as it’s based on classic asp) – they liked the look of the admin area – not a great initial reason to use a shopping cart

So, I promtly gave Volusion a call to ask a few questions in order for me to quote the client for the work. First question I asked – can I develop the site locally on my computer and then upload, the chap on the phone quickly said yes – in fact he said there is literally nothing Volusion can’t do. Great, I thought. 4 days later I sit down to integrate Volusion into my design and instantly run into a problem. After a lot of digging on their site the Volusion system is a hosted solution – meaning all source code is hosted remotely, meaning my only option is to use their slow and nasty online template editor.

I really wish Volusion had been honest with me from the off. Since this, the client in question and another client has totally moved away from Volusion, as in reality, the software isn’t as flexible as they make out.

Granted, when you call them, you do get to speak to someone pretty quick though.
