Website Magazine Not Accurate
We consider ourselves Ecommerce veterans and we typically read Website Magazine cover to cover.
Last night I passed around the Top 50 Ecommerce review (page 16) and was sorely disappointed in how the information was gathered and ranked based on the site traffic and basically no other metrics?
We have reviewed, Installed, and hosted several shopping carts and one of the grandaddy of problematic shopping carts, X-Cart, made by a Russian group is ranked 14? OSCommerce ranked 6, has been a derivative of X-Cart. X-Cart and similar ones should not even be on the list… but it is… Open source, ok, yeah I get it.
In short and I am certain that the Website Mag guys know that Ecommerce carts should be ranked based on Security, Reliability, Installation, SEO, Usability, Features, customers needs, etc.
Note: I think very highly of Website Magazine and it’s writers and I hope they will be more cautious next time.
