should I let my baby cry?

I think some moms are being harsh telling other moms that they are cruel for letting their babies cry. When the baby goes to daycare the provider can't hold them all day just because they want to be held and they are crying. The daycare provider probably has other children to watch as well. So you have to sometimes just let them cry so they know it is okay to be by themselves. I don't think it is being cruel or forcing independence on them it is just letting them get used to sitting my themselves for a little bit. As moms and daycare providers we can't hold them all the time because we would never get anything done.posted 09/15/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
My baby is 7 weeks old. I will let her cry because sometimes it is the only way she will fall asleep on her own. She sleeps a good 7-8 hours at night. She wakes up around 5-8 in the morning and will not take a decent nap all day until I learned the trick. I tried rocking her to sleep and when she falls asleep I lay her in her crib. As soon as I put her down, she's wide awake screaming. So in order to keep my sanity and help her sleep better. I recently started letting her cry a while but only if I know that all of her other needs are met. If she cries any longer than 10 minutes I pick her up and try rocking her all over again. Eventually she only cries a little bit and falls asleep. She just tries fighting her sleep all day that I think she's so tired she forgets how to sleep! I'm glad that she stays up for a while during the day so she sleeps better at night, but I know when she needs to sleep because of how cranky she gets. After all, babies need a lot of sleep!posted 01/09/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
i have a 7 month old baby and he will fuss more than any baby i have ever seen, i change him feed him, rock him, bounce him and he will fight going to sleep. The last couple days and nights I have had to put him in his crib and let him cry for a few minutes. No more than 5 and that takes all i have to let him go that long, and its not a littlewhiny cry either, its a loud cry. I always make sure its nothing more than that, but it kills me. but it wears me out trying to get him to go to sleep knowing he's sleepy and thats why hes cranky and yet he fights it. Anyway i picked him up after a few minutes, quiet him down and then hold him close and rock him or either see if he wants to nurse once more. which he will and he goes off to sleep with a little whimpering but he's now asleep. I hate it.. letting him cry but it seems to make him settle down maybe by tiring him even more than he is so he wont fight it any longer. i think you should just let them know your near.posted 08/25/2010 by Ga_sweetpea_69
My son is 4 months old and I we will rock him to sleep, pick him up when he cries and sooth him when he is upset. This is a child, not an animal that needs to be taught a lesson. We are teaching him that we are there for him and that he can confide in us. I am not saying that he doesnt fuss, but when he cries, you better bet your butt we pick him up. Think about it... if you are upset, you dont want to be alone, you want someone that you love and trust to help you through it. He doesnt have attachment issues because he is fine when we leave him with his grandparents or aunts. In my opinion, there is absolutly nothing wrong with holding and rocking your baby to sleep. To let him scream alone is just cruel, if he is going to cry, then he is going to know that I am there for him.posted 01/11/2010 by JesicaRogers
I have two children, a 3-year-old and a 3 month old. I do believe that you can "spoil" a baby by picking him up all the time. The question is whether or not you want to do that. With my older son, I suppose I wasn't as "maternal" and I did "cry it out" and tried my best to make him independent. At 3 years of age, it's obvious that he hasn't suffered in the least. With my 3 month old however, I took a long time to get pregnant and just desire to hold him all the time. I let him sleep with me if he's having a rough night and I don't let him cry by himself at all. And guess what? He's spoiled! He won't let me put him down now at ALL when I want to go the bathroom or whatever. But I'm happy with my choice this time, just as I was happy with the opposite approach with my older son. Both were good choices. I believe my 3 month old will be as happy and adjusted as my older child. You as a mom have the freedom to choose how much you "let your baby cry."posted 06/23/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Pick that baby up. I held my son non-stop when he was a baby. It took me three yrs. to get pregnant so once he was here i couldn't bear to put him down. He is two now and ge goes down for naps and bedtime with no fuss at all. I say PICK up that baby they are learning who to trust to fufill their needs.posted 05/26/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I am a new mother myself trying to figure this out. I believe though that your baby is crying for a reason, They may need a diaper changing, feeding, have gas, want to be held, any number of things, so you should always go to them. Remember your baby depends on you, they need you there to take care of them, so always go to your little ones and see what they need from you.posted 06/09/2010 by SadieSA
I have to disagree with many of the moms on here. I think its perfectly fine to let your baby cry as long as you are certain there is nothing wrong. Check the usual, diapers, temperature, hunger, etc. And I'm not saying to ALWAYS let your babies cry. But babies can cry, just to cry. One day me & my husband decided to move our 4 month old son to his own room. The first few nights we just let him cry himself back to sleep. Now, 3 months later, he sleeps thru the night from 9 pm to 6 or 7 am. It has been the biggest lifesaver. The first night he cried for almost an hour but after that it gradually got less and less. I work from home & I cannot realistically hold him every second. Sometimes I have to set him down with his toys & let him cry. Otherwise I would never get anything done! Most of them time 5 min later he is playing with his toys & fine. Some babies aren't so fussy but my son will cry & cry unless we pick him up & walk around with him. We just can't do that 24/7!posted 09/24/2008 by mamamaria08
PS: If you know your baby is gassy or in any sort of pain...your comfort will make a WORLD of difference.posted 02/28/2010 by ElizabethMommyETC
Research in development shows that the first year of a baby's life is a "sensitive period". It is a time where the child is particularly susceptible to certain types of stimuli and the effects of that stimuli can endure for a lifetime. That is why it is vital to the emotional and cognitive well being of your child to respond promptly to his/her cries. A baby does not cry to manipulate or provoke. It is their only means of communicating their needs. When a baby cries he or she is saying "I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm over stimulated, I'm cold, I'm wet, I need attention and reassurance." When their cries are ignored the message to the child is that their needs are not important and will not be met. It can cause long-term damage to the mother-child bond and the effect of that will affect the child's relationships for the rest of his or her life. In short, no. You should not let your baby cry.posted 02/16/2010 by Solus

Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev called the $7 billion (5.6 billion euros) inter-governmental agreement signed on June 27th "historic.", as reported SETimes.com .The 2,000km pipeline will have an initial annual capacity of 16 billion cubic metres, and could be expanded to transport other sources of gas.
TANAP is expected to be completed in 2018, around the same time the first gas exports from the Shah Deniz II gas drilling project in the Caspian Sea come online.
In a related development, the Shah Deniz gas producers' consortium on June 29th announced Nabucco-West -- a shortened version of the decade-old Nabucco pipeline project -- would be one of two final contenders to bring Azerbaijani gas to Europe from Turkey via Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary and Austria. The consortium is set to make a final decision next year between Nabucco West and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, which runs from Turkey to Italy via Greece and Albania.
In Ankara, officials anticipate Turkey's role as a major transit country will strengthen its bargaining power vis-a-vis the EU and Russia, while increasing its own energy security and relations with Azerbaijan.

Sports the Killer App for 3D?Tuesday, November 30, 2010
November 30, 2010
By Jennifer Davis
I met Bryan Burns, VP of Business Development for ESPN, at the DisplaySearch USFPD Conference back in March at which we were both speaking. PC Magazine did an admirable wrap-up of his keynote in which he compared the adoption of HD to the focus they are now putting on 3D.
And he hasn't stopped beating that drum. This month, amidst announcements from James Cameron and Jon Landau that Avatar 2 and 3 would be produced in 3D (no surprise there), Burn's announced that "3D is a renaissance that will be fueled not by movies, but by live sports, music and comedy." He went on to say, "the launch of HDTV wasn't a flirtation, it's now pretty ubiquitous, and 3D will be the same." Read ESPN Media Zone's full coverage here.
At his talk back in March, he mentioned that 67% of households would consider buying a "3D TV" if 3D content was readily available. This is why we have been saying for a while that 2011 is the year of 3D in the home. With the announcement of our game-changing and award-winning CSV approach to 3D, we have delivered 3D done right. So, whether it is movies or sports, as Burns proposes, Runco clients will have the best possible 3D experience!

Designing a 3D Theater: A Three-Dimensional Challenge (Part 3)Monday, November 01, 2010
By Jennifer B. Davis
This is the third part in our three-part series on 3D theater design. In the first post, we featured information regarding overall 3D image quality. Second, we tackled brightness loss. In our final installment, we'll handle the variety of issues related to 3D that are likely to affect the end users the most, which are the glasses.
3D Glasses -
The problem:
3D systems of all types for the home require glasses. Some are bulky and require batteries (Active 3D). Others are slimmer and more stylish. In any case, homeowners want glasses that are comfortable and work with the prescription glasses. Also, a lot of the content that is being released are titled intended for children and some of the glasses do not work well on their little faces.
The solution:
Runco's PreciseLight™ glasses are battery-free and light on the nose. We do offer Active 3D solutions as appropriate, but homeowners and industry luminaries prefer passive and it is easy to see why.
The PreciseLight glasses are a proprietary formulation which is unique to Runco. It was chosen for its exceptional stereo separation properties and light management. 6 pairs come complete with every 3Dimension product and additional sets of 6 are available at reasonable prices.
Runco also offers a premium pair that are metal-rimmed and very stylish. They also feature a unique polarizer placement which compensates for the curve of the glass in the frames for even better performance.
Runco also offers children's size glasses for the youngest movie enthusiasts or sports fans.
And for prescription glasses wearers, Runco has two options. First, we offer a clip-on style that can affix to your normal frames and allow for great 3D performance working with your corrective lenses. And in early 2011 we'll be taking it further by offering prescription glasses in this same formulation. Talk about custom video!

A law enforcement official says New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was on board the plane that crashed into a New York high-rise Wednesday. And other officials say both people on board were killed. There had earlier been reports that two others also died.
Lidle was an avid pilot who got his flying license during last year's off-season. His big-league career began in New York with the Mets -- and that's where he returned this season, in a trade from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Yankees. In nine big-league seasons, the pitcher compiled a record of 82-and-72 with the Mets, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Oakland Athletics, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies and the Yankees.
Lidle was married and had a six-year-old son, Christopher. The 34-year-old was a high-school teammate of fellow Yankee Jason Giambi at California's South Hills High.
The airplane he was in crashed into a high-rise residential building on Manhattan's east side in New York City. A witness said the aircraft hit and was followed by a huge explosion.
The 50-story building is located on 72nd and York Street. The FAA is reporting it was a general aviation "fixed wing" aircraft that was flying under visual flight rules, and was not in contact with the tower. Emergency officials are on the scene. Norad has decided to put fighter aircraft over several U.S. cities as a precaution, but the FBI says, "there is no indication of terrorism at this time."
A federal aviation official says the plane that hit a Manhattan apartment high-rise was a Cirrus S-R-20. And according to the company's Web site, the two versions of the model are largely aimed at entry-level pilots.
One is billed as a "practical and affordable" option for people looking to take flying lessons. That one has a base price of about 250-thousand dollars. The other version of the plane starts at around 335 grand. Cirrus bills it as providing "entry level luxury" at a price "that makes indulgence affordable."
Both versions of the S-R-20 carry a maximum payload of just over 900 pounds, and can cruise at up to 156 knots.

It sounds to me that the comic is following the questline in the game, more or less, as per Blackhawk003's post.
I just hope Blizzard keeps Onyxia in the game somehow, because the questline is *awesome*.
Its seems very do able; maybe change some of the dialogue in the turn ins in stormwintd to something like 'thanks for your help [character]! Matters here keep me busy- please go save [insert new character now trapped on BRD]' and report on what you find there'
instead of 'you shouldn't listen to those silly local politicians' (or whatever Prestor says).
They could even include a new NPC who is a hidden black dragon stooge of Onyxia's in the same room who serves the same purpose- to turn into a big dragon when the truth comes out, because it turns out that even though Prestor has been kicked out, she still has a dragon buddy in the court that is still trying to mess with the humans.
Ok, now that I write this, it does sound far-fetched, but I just hope they don't get rid of the quest chain! It is absolutely one of the best in the game.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We moved into the area two years ago and have been very impressed with Spanish Oaks Elementry. The principal Mrs. Tingy has been fantastic! She has a great understanding of what is going on in her school and relates very well with children and parents alike. As far as the teachers, well maybe we have been fortunate but Mr. Bradford and Mrs. Equinto are incredible! They are able to make learning fun for the students and will go out of their way to address parent concearns. Over all this is an excellent school with great leadership.
This school is typical in the area, if a kid shows up with half their homework done they get an A. Nice teachers everyone is polite but I have 2 slacker children there and despite the fact that I know they blow off their homework regularly, they still get great marks. Please just make kids work and learn. Also let children know that they need to account for being lazy.
While I don't feel my daughter is being challenged enough here at Spanish Oaks, I must say that I am impressed by other things the school does. I like the fact that the older kids work with the younger kids and that classes do service for one another. I think teaching the kids to be kind to one another is so very important! It seems that most schools outside of Utah just don't care about that. I am happy that my daughter has thus far not had some of the horrible experiences that I had as a child growing up outside of Utah and hope she never does. As with any school there is always room for improvement and I hope Spanish Oaks will work to do that, but I think they are heading in the right direction.
The school is only a couple of years old but is ran by a inexperienced principal and doesn't act upon concerns from parents in a timely manner. Some teachers are excellent where others are very weak. The Speech program is insufficent and the teachers are very inconsistent and have no working relationship with parents. Parent input is not important.

3 Factors To Consider Before Investing In Natural Resource Stocks
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
If you are interested in buying shares of natural resource companies, there are several variables to consider: (1) diversification, (2) market (ie. supply and demand) trends, and (3) multiples. In this article, I provide a look at 3 companies with these variables in mind. Specifically, I make the case for investing based on risk/reward preference and buying into the uncertainty only when the long-term market trends are stronger than recognized.
A Look At Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO)
Southern Copper is an integrated miner that has gained 26.7% for the year to date. According to Citigroup, the firm is a "buy" for its Tier 1 copper assets that require minimal capital expenditures to sustain. These low-cost operations are particularly noteworthy in light of copper supply shortages that will hit an accelerating Chinese economy. The emerging market is on track to double its growth in global consumption of the metal. A shortage of 316,000 metric tons in the first half of 2013 will provide for strong prices and cash flow ahead of the surplus expected to emerge in the second half of the year. Bear in mind, however, that the company is trading at a premium to peers with a 7.1x book value versus 4.3x for the industry average. Return on invested capital is still 1,206 bps greater than the industry average at a stellar 36.5%. And, of course, there's the obvious 9.7% dividend yield.
Analysts are still largely uncertain about Southern Copper. Only half of the reporting analysts rate the stock better than a "hold." And this uncertainty will increase with the strikes planned at the Toquepala and Cuajone copper mine and Ilio smelter operations. Labor is protesting management's decision to deny the proposed 15% annual wage hike. Management has instead offered a 4-year deal with a 5.5% annual wage hike. Negotiations have been evidently tense--in late August, the company announced that it was holding its third round of talks. This may create complications for short-term investors, but I encourage investing based on the long-term. Although EPS fell 67% y-o-y in the third quarter, volume was still up 11.2% y-o-y, and "world economies are getting prepared for a period of growth." Refined copper's global demand is expected to rise by around 3.5%, which outpaces a 1% expected supply growth.
Freeport (NYSE: FCX) Vs. Goldcorp (NYSE: GG)
Investors have long looked at Freeport as a solid copper play with some added gold exposure. But with the decision to enter the oil & gas industry, Freeport has fallen 28.8% from the 52-week high amidst a wave of shareholder anger. Why the anger? Freeport acquired Plains Exploration for $6.9 billion and McMoRan Exploration for $3.4 billion. Wall Street has turned against conglomerates since the '80s under the belief that the market can better value assets when they aren't forced to bundle them with other unrelated assets.
The absence of a shareholder vote on these two deals, which represent two-thirds of Freeport's market cap makes the matter much worse. Further, the $12.5 billion loan package for the buyouts are facing bank pushback--the banks find that that their share of the the bridge loan is too small. According to Deutsche Bank, however, investors will put aside their hostility and come to accept the oil & gas exposure as a way to gain leverage to high growth potential in the Gulf of Mexico. And, in terms of financial position, this deal is good in the longer-term. Moody's still rates the company three notches above "junk" and argues that Plains will add incremental EBITDA and cash flow to easily pay off the interest.
In light of this diversification, investors may consider backing more of a purer play, such as Goldcorp. Though the stock looks relatively expensive at 19.5x past earnings, analysts have a consensus $57.12 price target. 15 of 19 reporting analysts are calling the stock a "buy" or better, and none say "sell." In mid-October, Barclays came out with an "overweight" report and a $62 price target, which is at around a 75% premium to the prevailing price. With such a large margin of safety, a clean balance sheet, and 50% less volatility than the broader market, Goldcorp is an ideal investment for those worried about Freeport's risk.

GENEVA, Switzerland — Angelina Jolie roughly diminished to tears Monday as she honored a Yemeni aid group at an awards ceremony which also identified her works around the previous ten years as a U.N. refugee agency goodwill ambassador.
Jolie took the stage to praise the Geneva-based agency and Yemen's Culture for Humanitarian Solidarity, which won the agency's best yearly award for helping countless numbers of Somali refugees and migrants who take off for Yemen in smuggler's boats across the risky Gulf of Aden.
"The desperation fueled by a vicious combination of drought, famine and conflict has driven tens of thousands of people from the Horn of Africa," Jolie said.
"And we must not forget what is happening in this part of the world," she said. "We must try to imagine how desperate these people must be, when their only alternative is to risk death at sea and put their lives in the hands of ruthless smugglers."
Somalia has had transitional administrations for the past 7 years. But it has lacked working central authorities since 1991, when warlords overthrew a longtime dictator and then crooked each other, dipping the poor nation into disarray.
The transitional federal government, backed by African Union troops, has been fighting from al-Shabab insurgents — Islamic militants who abandoned Mogadishu in early August but still maintain a lot of southern Somalia, in which tens of thousands are measured to have starved to end and countless people have fled or experimented with to flee in the hope of finding foods.
Jolie mentioned the 290 staff of the Society for Humanitarian Solidarity, as nicely as its founder Nasser Salim Ali Al-Hamairy, are worthy of a lot credit score for risking their own lives to save countless numbers of other individuals every single year.
She said she's looking forward to representing the UNHCR and its personnel for another 10 years.
"Most of all I'm so grateful — I don't want to cry — to the refugee families that I have the honor and privilege to spend the last years with," she said.
"From them I've learned so much. I've learned to be a better person, a better mother. They've inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit."

I've seen a few big shopping cart no-nos lately, so I just want to alert Grok readers to them–they're pretty easy to avoid:
Hopefully, you've skimmed these two issues and they don't apply. Pat yourself on the back and maybe focus on testing and optimizing your cart instead.
I am guilty of the 'add to cart' and then sending them to the shopping cart page, instead of allowing them to keep browsing. I think I will work on this one, after Christmas.
I'm still amazed that I find companies who spend lots of money getting me to visit their site, optimise everything for the perfect experience, then ruin it by trying to coerce me into letting them spam me with email. the sort of sites where they say:
Uncheck this box if you do not want to be contacted by us.
Dont tick this box if do not want to receive mailings.
I still cant believe Companies do this.
They should let me decide whether you have something worthwhile that I'd like to hear about in the future.
So desperate are they to add me to their CRM database they forget they might actually lose sales because of this tactic.

And add to this the cardinal sin of asking to log in or create an account (arrgh!) as soon as you click checkout, and before you have an idea of all costs involved in the transaction!
You are 100% spot on here Brendan, but honestly it's almost a toss up as to who to blame. We a few exceptions big companies don't "get ecommerce" so they pay no attention to the "customer experience."
If you own your own ecommerce site, it's really important to find out what your cart software can and can't do BEFORE you commit to them.
The "continue shopping" issue is a very interesting one, and one that is being tackled in many different ways. Some are better than others. Get Elastic did a great blog post on this topic back in February, http://www.getelastic.com/continue-shopping-usability/
(it seems that their blog post was motivated by "Grok's Biggest Gripes")
I agree with you that just dumping the visitor back on the homepage is not an optimal choice for someone who wants to continue shopping. However I'm not a huge fan of what Amazon does either. When I have been shopping there in the past and added an item to my cart, it reloads the page with a floating cart on the right side of a cross sell page. This leaves me wondering, "what has happened". I was expecting to see a cart page that would allow me to prevue shipping cost before I continue shopping. I have been conditioned to expect a shopping cart page and have been confused and frustrated by not landing on one. I personally find it a little presumptuous that they expect that I want to buy more than one item. They could accomplish a similar goal by trying to cross sell me in a shopping cart, and provide a "multiple links" strategy that Get Elastic illustrated in their blog with Drs Foster & Smith and J Crew.
Yeah it is unfortunate when large e-commerce sites just get over complicated and turn off the visitor so much they just leave or get in their car and buy it at the mall.
I would agree with your comment on multi-item purchase, BUT if you are a site with a Units Per Order around 1 – 1.5, it might not be optimal to not dump the customer in the cart.
The continue shopping button point is very valid. How many customers actually came in through the homepage, and why would they want to end up back there? Additionally, most site logos already link back to the homepage.
I advise people that often their are some useful learnings to be drawn from shopping in the real world.
Imagine you are in Wal Mart or Tesco and after placing every item in your shoping basket you find yourself deposited at the entrance to the store. Or perhaps find yourself at the checkout as they think you've finished shopping?
wouldn't happen in real life….

It's strange to see this sort of post (so basic) but it's true, it really is necessary. As a shopper it amazes me how many sites miss the "basics" despite having wonderful ajax checkout processes and great interfaces.
In relation to the add to basket/ checkout item, I've also seen a few major sites immediately changing their interface on the cart page to look like that of their checkout process (i.e. no navigation, no promotions). This strikes me as a similar and huge mistake as well. Afterall, if there's no navigation it doesn't matter what you call the page or what's on it, people shouldn't have to click "back" to get back to browsing.
My Yahoo store does this and theirs no way to change it that i can see. Looks like i need to find another service or wait years for them to fix it.
I think people are often led by the tools / technology (witness all the talk around social media this, social media that) rather than taking a deep interest in the behaviours of people.
In the era of AJAX and other dynamic presentation technologies, I'd argue a visit to the shopping cart is outdated. Why take a user from their shopping results to show them what they know they just did? you could just pop a layer right over the top of the page they added to the cart from that lets the user manage, close it or select a checkout option. If they close it, they're right where they left off, with no complex results caching solutions required.
Getting rid of the cart as page can really improve the ecommerce experience, IMO. It's more like a cart since it follows you through the store.
thats a very good point.
In a real shop you don't pick something up, think "thats what i need" then suddenly get trasnported to the checkout.
"oh sorry sir, we didn't realise you still wanted to buy other stuff. Good luck finding your way back to where you just came from".
Good post.
The cross-sell and up-sell elements in the buy-flow process are extremely important, but they're flawed.
The consumer will never be fully happy with the online shopping experience until the shopping cart issue is addressed.

hi all,
It's also very helpful to over inventory because you can choose your products inventory according to the consumption.
in my opinion its best online software for your business. every item in your shopping basket you find yourself deposited at the entrance to the store. Or perhaps find yourself at the checkout as they think you've finished shopping?
The continue shopping button is an important page element on shopping cart pages. Potentially, a good design can increase the average order value of websites (or decrease it J ). Therefore choosing the name of the button, the position and the selection of colors and size may affect the defined KPI of the page displaying it. We analyzed 102 continue shopping buttons from well know websites and we put the collection on our blog. Have a look and leave a comment.
re: #2.. why do sites do this.. c'mon!! =)
As a website developer I can say that there are a lot of things wrong with many ecommerce sites. However, the problem usually resides in the software used. Coding an ecommerce site from scratch would take a very large budget, so most developers start with an open source application like zen cart or magento.
Seeing better ecommerce sites really has to begin with the communities that create the platforms.
My site have shoping cart and I alway try check bug on it. thank
# My site have shoping cart and I alway try check bug on it. thank

I agree with idea.
I agree with idea.
I advise people that often their are some useful learnings to be drawn from shopping in the real world.
Thanks for the "testing and optimizing your cart" link.
I absolutely hate the "homepage dump!" That has to be the most disruptive thing you can do to a buyer.
Great Article. I have do some improvement to one of my site. But developing from the int ital stage it will take time. Thanks for sharing thought.
Thank you for your suggestion. I am trying to practice it when I start to run affiliate business. All the best.
I completely agree on these mistakes. I bet they're ruining their conversions by making shopping online so arduous. Such a shame…
1 and a half years later, and i have been on websites that still make these mistakes~
we have a blank column on the left hand side of the page under the menu which is always empty for some reason … because the page on the right is longer than the menu on the left i have found a use for it now we'll make it the on-page gumballs shopping cart so people can stay on the same page… thanks.
I think it is one of the hardest things to create the perfect shop, there are many more mistakes one can make. I am still working on the perfect shop desin. What is important for you guys in a simple shop design?
It's hard to focus on testing and optimizing your cart when the link is broken. Perhaps, a common blog posting mistake overlooked?
@Mike: thanks! the link is now fixed.
I believe we could just pop a layer right over the top of the page they added to the cart from that lets the user manage, close it or select a checkout option. If they close it, they're right where they left off, with no complex results caching solutions required. With the help of Ajax, I don't think it will be difficult.
Good article,
But it will be depend on customer it self.Some of the potential buyer don't bother with the chart.
In my experience , amazon and shopping.com is the best place to shop.
This is very helpful. I think so many conversions are left in abandoned carts! Why go get more traffic when you haven't cleaned up your conversion process? Good post!

One by one, your dreams are torn
until you're left hollow inside.
There can't be happiness for you
because it's slowly melting away.
Castle walls are made of sand,
memories and dreams ebb in the sea.
You start to feel the exhaustion
and soon you'll waste away inside;
nothing can stop the relentless waters.
