Internet shopping carts have quickly developed (and continue to develop) to make online shopping completely seamless - turning online shopping, for some, the “Ultimate Liberating Experience” - Wayne Miller, E-commerce Times.
This summarises another one of the articles I would like to bring to your attention. The article, over at Ecommerce Times, describes how and why it is possible for us to “live at a level of comfort and convenience that medieval royalty could never have imagined”.

I’m continually bumping into really interesting articles i’d like to share with you, and this one over at Stephen Spencer’s blog is one of them.
It’s a great post about why incorporating a forum into an eccomerce website can be great for customer interaction and also search engine rankings. Online integrated forums can generate lots of individual pages on a website - each post becoming a keyword-rich, fresh page that ends up in google, MSN, Yahoo etc. If a forum is set up correctly for SEO, an active forum can capture a lot of traffic mainly because of the various related key terms being used by users on such a regular basis. Forums can be the beginning of a long tail search engine optimisation strategy.

PayPal have recently announced an optional two-factor security key to help combat online fraud. More confident customers is surely great news for us shopping cart owners.A lot of phishing e-mails now target PayPal and eBay users, largely because they are such a huge demographic (over 123 million customers at the end of last year), but also because PayPal is designed to make it easy to move money around.Surprisingly, however, phishing is not a large financial problem for PayPal or its customers, but customers receiving phishing emails lose confidence, so PayPal’s two-factor efforts should help with some of these worries.In order to combat phishing attacks that could include questions about the new six digit code, PayPal have integrated a feature that means users have only a short time to access the account before the code changes.
As well as introducing two-factor, PayPal is responding to this drop in public confidence by introducing a new green light system where users of Internet Explorer 7 will see the browser flash green if the site is safe.
‘One of the other things we are doing is heavily pushing digital signature and email signing technologies so that all PayPal and eBay outbound email is digitally signed,’ said Michael Barrett, chief information security officer at PayPal.

Web content management software provides non-technical users the ability to add content to a website - this is possibly their main benefit and reason for implementation for most businesses. But, without any IT involvement can CMS deployment have a damaging effect to the find-ability of your content and search engine rankings?
As outlined in this very informative article at CMSWire, non-technical users can contribute to search engine friendly content and effectively build traffic to a website if a few careful decisions are made when selecting and implementing the web content management product. Amongst many factors, the software should support search engine friendly features such as search engine friendly URLs, Meta tags and effective content structuring such as search engine friendly URLs, Meta tags and effective content structuring such as < H1 >,< H2 > tags, and RSS syndication.

In part 1 (Choosing the Right Shopping Cart Software and Web Content Management Software - Part 1) we looked closely at some of the features in shopping cart software to help you identify what you may or may not need from your software.
To help you evaluate some of the features you may need from your web content management software to run your online business, it will be helpful to think about how important the following features are to you. The level of demand for each of these features will depend a great deal on how experienced you are with web content management software.
Product Growth
As mentioned in part 1, some shopping cart software can limit the number of products a website retails, while others can support unlimited products.
This is the same for web content management software - some systems or versions of the software can limit features available to you and if you plan to grow your business it is important that your content management system has room for growth and can support the growing amount of information on your site. Software that supports a limited amount of content may be fine for a short time, however may become a problem as the website develops.
Similarly, one of the main purposes of content management software is that it allows a number of administrators to organise and handle the information that is uploaded to one website no matter where they are located. This means that separate departments can handle the information on one website from the same system. Some software can limit the number of administrators that have access to the content management system, therefore if you plan on expanding you may want to take this into consideration.
