Your comment reminded me of a Doug DeMuro article where he did just that! "In other words: the Range Rover is a highly capable, brilliant off-roading vehicle with a lot of highly capable, brilliant off-roading components, assuming that you have a comprehensive CarMax warranty to keep these components working properly."

This may work nicely for a subscription business where you have 2 weeks to identify problematic orders. But what about everyone else? Should we silently fail on orders where a customer accidentally mistyped their CC#? Imagine all the extra work involved when you could have had them fix it on the spot.
Completely agree with fweespee_ch. Major CC processors such as Authorize.net, Braintree, etc. offer fraud protection measures but in our experience they do very little to prevent even a remotely-capable fraudster. Typical features offered are IP Velocity & regional IP (useless when the fraudsters spin up thousands of amazon servers), # of transactions per hour (not too helpful when your business already does hundreds/thousands of transactions a day), CVV and AVS credit-card response codes (ends up blocking more legitimate orders than fakes and the fraudsters typically already have this information anyway), etc.

Might be a good idea to put a canonical tag on the old to the new content.

Re:How Googlebot crawls JavaScript on Tuesday May 12, 2015 @01:49PM (#9533550)
you could add an additional URL parameter via pushState and ensure that you're defining the canonical tag only to the main data pages. You could also define the new parameter in webmaster tools and tell googlebot to ignore it
Excellent point Greg, the article does address this though: check the "U/X vs. Googlebot/X" section

Another Chicagoan here, I'm actually the exact opposite. I'd much rather have my package sitting in the lobby of my apartment than going down to Michigan Ave, dealing with a bunch of tourists, and waiting in line to pick up, idk, a big box of paper towels because I'm too lazy to go to the grocery store?

Re:Unplanned interruptions in software development (2012) on Thursday July 10, 2014 @04:49PM (#8017204)
Is anyone else sick of these interruption articles? We get it; writing code requires focus, interruptions are bad. Etc. Etc. Can't that be said about most tasks that take any type of focus?
This. Search for a product in google shopping and multiple merchants will be clustered around one product image that is chosen from 1 of the merchants. That's the main reason, but it also avoids the ugliness of an ebay search where seemingly every other merchant has bright/bold text claiming free gifts or other such offers.

Ask HN: VOIP suggestions for e-commerce site?

We're an e-commerce company with a small-sized call center looking to replace our traditional Nortel PBX phone system with a VOIP solution.I was wondering if anyone had any positive experiences with certain companies or any key features/issues to watch out for. Ideally we'd like to integrate it with our order management system via an API too.Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly...

Re:Search Optimization and Its Dirty Little Secrets on Monday February 14, 2011 @02:37PM (#2218245)
Agreed, if the average-user only knew how prevalent this is. We're an e-commerce site and constantly feel in the minority for not buying links exactly like JCP did. Almost all of our top competitors do the exact same thing and have gotten away with it for as long as I can remember. The only reason we don't is being too afraid of the supposed "wrath" that doesn't ever seem to come to them (that is unless you can get a NYT article written about it).
Re:Google search and search engine spam on Wednesday January 26, 2011 @04:31PM (#2145234)
Not to mention link building via satellite site networks. A competitor of ours has hundreds of keyword-niche sites that link back to their URL but also link to several other legitimate domains on each page. How could Google penalize the domain responsible without penalizing sites that have nothing to do with it?
Re:Google’s decreasingly useful, spam-filled web search on Thursday January 06, 2011 @05:23PM (#2077545)
The Stack Overflow article seems to address the subject of content being scrapped and republished which is certainly a big issue. What about the equally concerning issue of the overwhelming amount of "fluff" content published with the sole purpose of passing anchor text weight back to a domain? Is anyone else noticing an exponential growth of these types of sites recently or is it just me?
Re:Google’s decreasingly useful, spam-filled web search on Thursday January 06, 2011 @04:46PM (#2077371)
Hey moultano, what about specific sites within an industry that abuse big time with doorway pages and link farms? How can we report that to you? IN SERPs these domains are technically relevant to the search-term, but only show up high in the results because of their deceptive practices.
