This week I review myfind.com and why it can’t be found in “Pages from Australia” . Myfind.com is the recently launched Myer online retail site that has been a reaction to apparently low 2010 Christmas retail sales as Australians flocked online to take advantage of the strong AUD. The site really suffers from a lack of SEO and attention to how Google sees it. I’m not sure how they intend to get traffic to it as it has no Facebook presence that I could find nor does it rank well for even it’s own name.
Retailer Harvey Norman has also announced plans to have a major online retail presence by this time next year. It must be massive if it’s going to take that long to build. CEO Gerry Harvey, has said today that he has no choice but to “cannibalise his stores”. Maybe he should diversify and acquire a courier company. They seem to be one industry that is really doing well from online retail without selling anything online themselves.
Finally today I do an SEO review for another viewer. Love to know if you’ve used myfind.com or know how they intend to get traffic to it.
Jim’s been here for a while, you know who he is.
