The Difference Between White Hat and Black Hat SEO- Guest blog by Rand Marketing

The Difference Between White Hat and Black Hat SEO- Guest blog by Rand Marketing

Monday, November 20, 2017Lauren Macdonald

Back in the day--before the advancements of color TV--one of the best ways to determine the ‘bad guys’ from the ‘good guys’ at the start of a show would be to look at the hat they were wearing. If the hat was black, you could assume that they would be the ‘bad guy’ of the show, and if the hat was white, they were most likely the heroic, good character. This was especially true in the case of cartoons and old Western films. However, once color TV took over the film industry, this tactic was used less frequently. Nonetheless, the representation of light and dark still remains quite a popular theme in many Hollywood films. Believe it or not, just like the old, classic movies, there’s a ‘good guy’ and a ‘bad guy’ within the realm of SEO; we label them as White Hat and Black Hat SEO.

Wishing you could integrate ShipStation with CommerceHub? We can help!

Wishing you could integrate ShipStation with CommerceHub? We can help!

Tuesday, October 31, 2017Lauren Macdonald ShipStation is one of the best platforms out there for enabling eCommerce merchants to import, organize, process, package, and ship their orders. It also comes with a wide range of features such as automated order importing, custom hierarchical rules, product profiles, fulfillment solutions, and more.

One thing merchants are noticing, however, is that ShipStation does not currently integrate with CommerceHub. This means a lot of manual data entry to and from ShipStation for those merchants who sell their products in big-box retailers like Home Depot, Best Buy, Staples, and many others that require CommerceHub EDI connections.

For nearly 25 years, eBridge Connections has been in the business of simplifying EDI for retailers just like you. We have pre-built connectors for all of the leading big-box retailers who have strict requirements for EDI in order to stock their shelves with your goods. CommerceHub customers’ included!
