We have few updates this April about business, SEO, digital marketing and COVID-19. Talking about business section, The New York Times have wrote an article about Amazon not been reliable. Newsletter also shows you heatmap from Awin the coronavirus updates for affilaites. Lastly we have a list of free SEO tools and Chrome extensions for SEO.
Amazon is it still reliable company?
Amazon cannot any longer get us all we need apart from that
the delivery times have greatly increased. How will Amazon and their problem
affect our shopping habits? The main question would be will customers move to smaller
e-commerce brands instead?
Buying from Amazon seems to be a deeply entrenched behaviour
for many. The article author talks about longer delivery times and many
products not been available in US. Looking at Amazon UK we have noticed similar
issue especially to bigger cities like London. The delivery times have extended
and many products are overpriced or not available at all.

The first – Heatmap – is presented in a treemap format to show different sized rectangles for each of the sectors that comprise the four main verticals the Awin Group reports on: retail, finance, telcos and services, and travel. The data reports on the percentage increase or decrease of each of those sectors. This data is then visualized in a series of bar graphs in the second tab – SubSectors. “
