The purpose of an ecommerce website is to take it one step further and to allow
your visitors to purchase your products or services directly from your website.
Eyes
on your eCommerce Website
In a recent article I talked about Google AdSense placement based on eye-tracking
research. However, research by The Poynter Institute, Eyetools and the Estlow
Center for Journalism and New Media has a lot to say about more than where to
put an AdSense block.
What
Makes Your Online Ads Persuasive?
The first impression that the people get from your ad decides if they click or

Amazon's
New Shorts
 By
Chris Crum
Amazon.com is now offering a new service called "Amazon Shorts" from which customers
can sample the work of new authors for 49 cents each.
Through the Amazon Shorts service, customers receive digital samples of the works
of authors in many different genres and formats. Check out their press release
to see a list of the authors included so far.
 Amazon's
New Sample Service "Amazon Shorts will help authors find new readers and help
readers find and discover authors they'll love," said Steve Kessel, Amazon.com's
vice president of Digital Media.
"We hope that by making short-form
literature widely and easily available, Amazon.com can help to fuel a revival
of this kind of work," added Kessel.
Amazon makes a point that customers don't need any kind of digital rights management
software for Amazon Shorts.
Customers can choose from three options to read each work including a "view now"
option, a downloadable PDF file, or they can choose to simply have the piece emailed
to them. .
