They are running a special on the flux messenger bag and they just did a hilarious post:

I have a flux messenger bag prototype, and I use it everyday.  You’ll be amazed at what it can hold!

It’s good for carrying all sorts of things.  If you don’t believe me, check out what I had today on my way to the studio!

One of my favorite blogs to read is Seth Godin’s Blog and he just had a great post that I just had to share with you called “Lessons from very tiny businesses”.


Your SEO Friend: The Website Title

rishi

One of the best ways to get natural organic search results on Google/Yahoo/Bing is to put your main keywords in your website title.

Now you can modify the title tags of your store.  Go to Marketing -> Basic Tools and enter in your website title.

Website-Title-UnderBasicTools

What should your website title be?  It should be your store name and what you sell.

Ask yourself: “What do I want my potential customers typing into Google to find me?” - That is what your website title should be.

Feel free to ask me for suggestions on what your website title should be in the comments.
