Dear Mike & Katie,

Motorola today because of a bad quarter, has suspended a tremendous number of programs which benefits dealers like me. These programs allowed me to apply tremendous savings to customers, based on quantity discounts.

As more and more industries tighten their belts, because of the inability to get raw materials to produce their products, this leads people like me, who have been online for at least 25 years, and rely on the Internet for their primary business, up to 98% in my case, to make sure that we are notices by potential customers.

I posted a similar thread some time ago, and I now need to revisit this again because I want AbleCommerce to know what a jewel they have with the ability to have BLOG content in their shopping cart. Although it is extremely basic currently, just simple enhancements can make this even a more powerful tool.

Of course if I had all the money in the world, I would constantly be using pay-per-click and many other forms of paid media, to make sure that my customers, and potential new customers are aware of my products. But I don't have all the money in the world, so I must rely on organics. And Google loves a good BLOG article. Here are just some examples of what I've been able to do just in the last three weeks with the extremely limited Blogging tools in AbleCommerce.

Search on Google:

- Motorola price increase - we ranked # 4
- Motorola increasing pricing - we ranked #5 out of 90 million, give me a few more weeks I'll be in the top three
- Just play with the term Motorola and price increase, and we ranked in the top 10.

- What about CP200D and construction industry – were ranking in the top five
- Motorola Supply Disruption - #1 out of a million
- Motorola Supply - #5 of out 40 million

And we're just getting started, Any tool that can give customers the ability to create high-ranking organics, must be developed to their maximum capacity, AbleCommerce has such a tool, but it still in its infancy.

Please review Drop in Blog, learn what they have to offer, and please apply some of these features inside AbleCommerce for a future release.

If you really want your software to shine and offer a differential from all the other shopping carts on the market, please explore this uncap opportunity.

Many Thanks,
-Ray, kicking ass using AbleCommerce

I am pleased that you listen to my viewpoints. I consider myself unique in the fact that besides being a C# newbie developer, I am also a user, but most important, a business owner with a lot of experience.

My perspective may not be the normal developer's perspective because they don't use the software in that particular fashion. I'm happy that there will be some improvements to the CMS.

About to update to 9.0.5.

The more I can get my name out there, and do so without cost, by taking advantage of organics, the better it is for my business.

So, thank you for listening.
