Why eCommerce is a Lot Like ICanHasCheezburger
Ecommerce websites upload product pictures and descriptions. Etailers speak gibberish like "average conversion rate," "landing page optimization" and "Geo-IP targeting." A lot people shop online when they're supposed to be working.
Today's post is a tribute to online retailers and cat lovers everywhere. For each ecommerce topic, there is a Cheezburger pic and a link to a related article (most on Get Elastic, a few from our blogger frendz). Hope u likez.
