Motorcycles have been a popular sort of transportation for at least a hundred years. The first motorcycle of any kind was devised in the United States in 1867 by a man named Sylvester Howard Roper, although it ran on by steam, not petroleum. As with early automobiles, it took German engineers to come up with a two-wheeled vehicle that would run on petroleum.
In 1885, Gottleib Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach came up with what was really a motorized bicycle, but that was enough! By 1894, motorcycles were available for purchase by the public and the love affair began. In countries all over the globe, people found motorcycles to be an efficient, reliable, and definitely exciting means of transportation.
With the unfortunate high cost of fuel, motorcycles are becoming even more popular, as they generally get significantly better gas mileage than larger vehicles. However, the rising number of accidents is not a good result. Motorcycles have always been involved in a lopsided number of crashes in comparison to the number of car accidents, and the injuries sustained tend to be worse. There are four times as many fatal motorcycle accidents as there are car accidents.
Therefore, it pays to wear a helmet, keep your tires well-maintained, to completely avoid drinking alcohol before riding, and to educate yourself on motorcycle safety. If, despite all your best efforts, you have a wreck, you need to know what to do. Collecting the proper information from the other driver involved is critical, as is getting checked out by a doctor, even if you cannot tell that anything is wrong. Reporting any accident to your insurance company is advisable, but as far as the hassle of trying to collect your settlement is concerned, it is often wise to seek the help of a motorcycle lawyer.
Motorcycle lawyers know all the ins and outs of dealing with insurance companies and courts, and they can usually get a greater settlement for you. Best of all, when you hand over everything to a lawyer, you do not have to suffer the annoyances and red tape that go along with any accident settlement. With a lawyer who only charges a fee after the settlement of a case, it really makes good sense to let someone else fight for you.
On more than one occasion this painful journey has seen their site suppressed in search engine listings with whole sections of their ecommerce platform dumped out of the active search results.
Many search engine guidelines were breached and Spammy pages were sent into search engines such as Google to further undermine the brands Internet footprint. In fact at one point at a Christmas past the official statement for a drop in Internet sales was on the lines that there was a downturn in consumer confidence and spending, the real cause was the whole website bar the homepage had been dumped out of Google and so nobody searching for products could buy anything.
Of course this is largely not the fault of Dixons, in the main they have been duped time and again by their suppliers of SEO expertise and the site developers who clearly have no understanding of what makes a site work for search engine spiders.
However, there is significant blame in my opinion that should be placed at the head of the marketing department, getting it wrong once is perhaps excusable, after all the SEO industry is full of bad practitioners on the bandwagon. But getting it wrong time and again is perhaps less excusable, worse though is getting it wrong when the company decides to take itself out of the High Street and wholly online.
This last point really shows how poorly led the marketing team must be, the management took the business wholly online without any understanding of how to tap into the most lucrative channel for sales, without a facility that could deliver a proper online sales profile and with even more bad expertise delivered from yet another ill informed SEO agency.
Of course they are in great company, the absolute debacle of Sainsburystoyou is an ongoing shameful series of blunders that is unforgivable for a company such as Sainsburys, especially when they are losing market share to Tesco. Where is the accountability I ask, after contacting Sainsburys many months ago to try and give them some free advice I was told there was currently no marketing director?
Anyway its a year on since I last looked seriously at Dixons and was hoping for a pleasant surprise, this time I thought I would approach it from a consumer perspective. So I went to Google and typed a search for digital camera no sign of Dixons anywhere, another big seller was Plasma TV again no sign, so I decided to make a far more focussed search.
This time I searched for Kodak Digital Camera and again there was no sign of the brand that had taken its business out of the High Street and onto the Internet.
I once again analysed the website and nothing has really changed, the site is a mess and so is the way the code is presented to search engine spiders, no doubt that the overall cut in staff and premises has enabled some shift towards profitability after the demise of the High Street stores.
Of course there are many internet sales channels not just organic search traffic but surely the Chairman is a brave man if he has decided to ignore this lucrative driver of traffic and sales, or maybe he just doesn't know?
