The response by Google to a New York Times story detailing a callous e-commerce business was rapid. In the story, DecorMyEyes was talked about in very unflattering tones and deservedly so. The discount eyewear vendor’s odd behavior was abusive and classless against its customers and Google pretty much admitted that the story showed that its current page ranking and search algorithm had a definite weakness. Quickly, they worked on their search algorithm and looked at sorting out the issue of bad publicity and complaints ranking a business highly. The results of that were speedy to say the least. The brand new search algorithm was ready and implemented in next to no time and small businesses will have to be very wary of the way in which they deal with their customers if they are to be ranked highly within Google. Being bad never should be good for business, and this is what Google is looking to achieve with its new search algorithm. Of course, Google won’t say what they have changed with  [...]

So, you have a online business and you laugh at the poor souls that have to pay rent each and every month. Well laugh all you want, but running an online business is no walk in the park either. Let's take the example of Daniel Hallac, who runs a site called Kidmondo. Since the inception of his online business, he has discovered that keeping a hold of credit-card information is not something that is up his alley. He'd rather leave it to the specialists, as also customer service and the evolution of a sales strategy. Marketing and confidentiality of the information it creates is perhaps the largest challenge for online businesses in an interconnected world. Malls, for instance, will be able to generate foot falls by using the name of the brand store's it has. But how do you do that for an online business?

People work hard to earn money and gain the respect in the society. These three terms feels so synonymous and completely dependent on each other but in practicality, they are so indifferent.
