While Google, Apple and Samsung jostle for the premium smartphone segment, Chinese manufacturer OnePlus has managed to grab the biggest pie of the premium smartphone market. According to a report by International Data Corporation's (IDC) Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker 2017 for Q2, OnePlus managed to achieve the top position in the premium segment with 57 per cent of sales credited to its name. The brand has outperformed its rivals and that too with a considerable margin. Apple, one of the favorites in the segment had to satisfy with the second position with a 38 per cent share. The biggest push in terms of sales came from the sales season. According to the brand's official e-tailer Amazon India, OnePlus did exceptionally well during its sales this quarter. They claim that OnePlus 5 was the bestselling smartphone during the Prime Day sale. Amazon offered the device at a discounted price during the sale. The e-tailer has resumed the offer in its pre-diwali Great Ind

Irrespective of how great your business idea is or how your e-commerce store may look and function, achieving your ROI goals majorly depends on the ease of transaction experienced by a customer. A payment gateway is a powerful way to ensure hassle-free payments and to reassure the visitors of your e-commerce store about your trustworthiness.

A bad payment gateway results in bad payment options, ultimately leading to a decline in the total sales. The server can also be a challenge in having a smooth payment gateway and we usually use  Bluehost  or  Amazon Web Services .

WhatsApp for Business is yet to officially launch, but it is only a matter of time. WhatsApp has even come on record and announced that it will start the service in India soon and that India would play a crucial role in the earlier days. In the latest update on the WABetaInfo, the WhatsApp beta for Android is supporting Verified Business accounts, which will see a green tick mark beside the profile. According to the FAQ page on WhatsApp, "If you see a green badge next to a contact's name, it means that WhatsApp has confirmed the phone number of this contact belongs to a business account." The new update lets businesses set working hours. If you call a business account and they are not available, you will get an 'away' message. Businesses can also manage their automatic messages and customers can block businesses which they do not want to be contacted by. In case you have a business's phone number saved in your address book, the name you will see is t

Hi Bloggers, I've recently had to deal with several indexing problems that a few clients were experiencing. After digging deeper into the problems, I figured I'd write a post for Moz to share my experience so others don't have to spend as much time digging for answers to indexation problems. All it means is that your site, or parts of it, are not getting added to the Google index, which means that nobody will ever find your content in the search results. Identifying Crawling Problems Start your investigation by simply typing site:yoursite.com into the Google search bar. Does the number of results returned correspond with the amount of pages your site has, give or take? If there's a a large gap in the number of results versus the actual number of pages, there might be trouble in paradise. (Note: the number given by Google is a ballpark figure, not an exact amount). You can use the SEO Quake plugin to extract a list of URLs that Google has indexed. (Kieran Daly m

Obviously, everybody’s idea of a full-time income will be different. My own number was $3000/month when I first started out, which equaled to $100/day. For our calculations in this post, let’s also use $100/day, as that seems to be one of the biggest milestones people want to reach with their own websites. When I see people talk about Adsense, I see a lot of discussion about profitable niches, costs per click, making a full-time income, etc but I never see much discussion about traffic. I see forum threads everyday of people wanting to learn how to reach $100/day with Adsense. At the end of the day it’s all about traffic. There are many factors that affect a site’s overall income, but lots of traffic is the common denominator. So how much traffic do you really need to get to $100/day with Adsense? For me, I was able to reach a full-time income when I was consistently getting over 150,000 visitors per month. I wasn’t just getting that with one website though. Traffic was

Recently I made the shift to freelancing full-time, and it’s led me to participate in a few online communities for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners. I've noticed a trend in the way many of them talk about SEO; specifically, the blocks they face in attempting to “do SEO” for their businesses. Again and again, the concept that "SEO is too hard to stay on top of... it’s always changing" was being stated as a major reason that people feel a) overwhelmed by SEO; b) intimidated by SEO; and c) uninformed about SEO. And it’s not just non-SEOs who use this phrase. The concept of “the ever-changing landscape of SEO” is common within SEO circles as well. In fact, I’ve almost certainly used this phrase myself. But is it actually true? To answer that question, we have to separate the  theory  of search engine optimization from the various  tactics  which we as SEO professionals spend so much time debating and testing. The more that I work with small
