Reports suggest that 50% of purchases start on Amazon.com, and Amazon wants to keep it this way. Yet, businesses and merchants increasingly want to sell their products via their own DTC (direct to consumer) site, retailers' websites, Facebook, Instagram, and more. Due to this, Shopify, which powers many DTC and retailer websites, is a growing thorn in Amazon's dominance of retail. Shopify reportedly helps power more than 30% of online U.S. retail sales.
Amazon not only hurts small stores when it steals their customers, but it also hurts small stores by disrupting their websites. Amazon and businesses that host with Amazon (on AWS) send bots to crawl competitors' websites. These bots take up bandwidth and create errors that delay real users from accessing the sites.
In the example shown, we see Amazon or one of its clients using AWS to crawl the indie store Dalton Brody and create an error that only a bot would create.

The organic shape and hammered texture offers a traditional look, or a sophisticated, modern elegance. Mix, match and play, the 13 stunning colors complement each other when layered. Simple, timeless and pure perfection definitely describes the Cantaria Collection. Handcrafted in Portugal of ceramic stoneware, the ...

When we think of Valentine's Day is it about romance? Gratitude? Love, or just Love of chocolate ? I keep calling it Mother's day, so we pose the question: Is this a psychological slip? As I am a mother, is this just wishful thinking? Can we include Mom's? Anyway, it is coming up on February 14 and we wonder if you have thought about what to give your dear one, be it a lover, a family member, or a friend , (other than a foot massage or three un-interrupted hours of&...

My colleague Josh sent me this book and no joke sent it via Amazon. When asked why, he said so could save $1 off the retail price and get free shipping. Hmmm... And, why is the author selling his book on Amazon in the first place? I was half expecting to open it and find it full of empty pages. What else should one expect in receiving a book about how bad Amazon is from Amazon? Who knows, maybe the Amazon warehouse staff licked it.
Dear Amazon and author: Please don’t tempt ...

Why is Bridge Wholesale Better?
Speed: Bridge Wholesale reduces the number of steps&
When reading about Bed Bath & Beyond's 20% off coupon, I learned that BBB was started in New Jersey, right around the corner, in 1971. The coupon, which first appeared for a 4th of July promotion in that late '90s, was an easy way to cut out other expensive advertising avenues.
