We have been using the Maxmind minFraud service for a long time now, over 10 years. It is a cheap and effective service in preventing online fraud (costs as little as 1/2 cent per order to screen for fraud). In the early days we built our own modules to use their API and screen web [...]

Well, it was an interesting evening following the events of Click Frenzy last night. I was keen to see how much traffic they got, and it was obviously lots (2 million visitors?). Enough to bring their site to it’s knees in seconds. I do feel for Grant and the guys at ClickFrenzy, and for the [...]

Been a while since I posted anything. But that is only because business has been busy, which is a good thing! I thought I would highlight a small event coming up called “Spend A Day With Internet Retailing Masters!” organised by a good friend of mine (and co-founder of Internetretailing.com.au) Mark Freidin. On Thursday 2nd August [...]

As Magento Developers and consultants it is always nice to meet people interested in [...]

For some time now, the shopping.com comparison shopping site just hasn’t converted well for my own retail sites, or those of many of our clients and friends.
