Welcome back Rankers! Off to The Internet Conference this week, so looking forward to that Gold Coast sunshine. Thought I’d do a search for eCommerce to see what’s been in the news this week. Didn’t find a great deal except for a great featured answer picked up by Network Solutions. My search did show a […]
Welcome back Rankers! I’ve been flat out preparing presentations for The Internet Conference, which is on next week. If you haven’t got your tickets I believe there are still some available. Go to www.internetconference.com.au if you are interested. If you are in Australian retail, you really need to attend. It’s going to be chock full […]
I think I need to change the day I do the show as Google seems to make announcements as I’m uploading. Today is no exception. I’ll have the vid out a bit later today on unrelated matters but I wanted to quickly tell you about Google rich cards, which of course was announced today! What […]

Welcome back Rankers! I’m sitting here in Chennai, India, all dressed up in my wedding outfit which I’ll be in trouble for wearing early if I get caught. We’re over here to attend the wedding of one of our team, Vandi. It’s a wonderful place and we’ve seen so much already, we’re having a ball […]
