Google Checkout

Google have announced that as of November 20th, Google Checkout will no longer be supported and therefore will in effect be closed down. Instead, they are looking to increase, improve and expand their Google Wallet services. It was initially launched in 2006 around the same time that competitors such as PayPal were being launched, but was marketed much less aggressively. This meant that more people chose PayPal as their online payment system.

The crossover from Google Checkout to Google Wallet will not adversely affect individuals selling digital goods, or merchants who sell via Google Play and other marketplaces. However, it sets to be more problematic for merchants who sell physical goods as they will need to find a third party alternative to take care of their payments.

The demise of Google Checkout confirms that PayPal has asserted its dominance in this sector and continues to be the market leader.

Cheap SEO

Cheap SEO Services

The majority of companies will shop around in order to get the best deal on SEO services which makes good business sense. However, companies need to be aware that the cheapest SEO company will probably not be the best in terms of delivering results and helping your website to rank; in fact, using a Cheap SEO Company will generally have a negative effect which may be very difficult to recover from especially as some things can be permanent.

As with all goods and services in life, you only get what you pay for and SEO is no exception. Cheap SEO relies on cheap methods of link building and little actual substance; the methods used are usually black hat. Using black hat techniques can have quick positive results which look great to your business in the short term, however, this is not viable as a long-term solution. This is because Google is looking to eradicate cheap black hat methods of SEO and their latest Penguin and Panda algorithm updates have gone a long way to achieving this.

Bulk buying cheap irrelevant links is a common cheap SEO tactic which can have devastating consequences for your website. The latest Google algorithm updates have refocused the ranking system to consider content and relevance more important than the overall number of links – the aim of this is to improve the quality of ranking websites and therefore make Google a better search engine for its users. As a result, websites using black hat methods in order to rank are regularly being penalised and even delisted from the Google SERP’s altogether.

It is more beneficial therefore to choose an SEO company based on their merits, past successes and current portfolio of results than price. We at Chameleon Web Services have a reputation for outstanding results in Google SERP’s and a fair pricing structure. All of our SEO projects are bespoke and are therefore the prices based on your requirements; we also try where possible to meet your budget regardless of how high or low it may be.
