Online spending hits £4bn a month. Now, I am sure that’s not done by a few companies e.g 2%. This is the report of 2007.
Wet weather was one factor behind last month’s internet spending boom, said the report, by the Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG), the industry body which represents e-retailers. Online spending hit £4.2 billion during July – up 80% year-on-year.
Sales of clothing, footwear and accessories were also stronger than ever before. IMRG managing director Jo Evans said the online sales surge was surprising.
“This data is sound. It reveals the extent to which the retail sector is being transformed by frictionless e-commerce,” she said.
“Major brands are bringing on-stream the next generation of slick new internet retailing services, and consumers are flocking to use them.”
Electrical goods were popular items last month as shoppers stocked up ahead of their summer holidays.
Since last year many firms had launched or updated their websites and expanded their online shopping ranges to boost sales, the IMRG said.
The online sales data is based on the IMRG’s ongoing survey of UK online spending.
Yes, there are failures but billions are made on the internet by companies who approach the Internet market professionally, who plan, goal set, who approach clientele with personal touch, who have high standard of customer service and who…..tap into a niche market.
It is not the market that is the problem but the way people have yet treated business as business e.g. professionally and with a thinking of “out of the box.”

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name’s originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route…
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a “name party” & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what’s out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I’d try them out first.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I’m not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You’ll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for “free domain name search” and “national yellowpages” and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I have been given a list of over 2000 PR4+ blogs. Will it help my site’s search engine optimization if I read the blogs and comment on the post with a signature? Such as:
Comment: Blah blah blah
-my name
www.mysite.com
Will that help the search engines see me and appear in rankings higher? I won’t spam and say irrelevent stuff like, “Hey everybody, check out my site! www.mysite.com,” but I would comment on what I think about the article and then sign my name and website.

Reciprocal links are where you put a link to their website on yours, and they put a link to yours on their website. It’s a great way of getting more traffic and better search engine rankings. I have been looking for more to add my site to, but I’m only finding a few valid ones, the rest I have gone to are junk.
So far I have:http://www.link-city.com/http://www.linkexchanged.com/http://www.thisusa.com (usa only)http://www.links4trade.com/
and www.zyra.org.uk
Any help? I’d really like to promote my giftshop website so I can get some visitors!

I have several websites all selling the same product. I want to link them all to each other in hopes that it will increase my rankings with the search engines but I have been told that having the sites link to each will have a neutral effect because each site will have one inbound link from a relevant site and one outbound link to a relevant site. Is that true?
