Advertising Oversight? Zazzle Offers Personalized Nazi Products
Sometimes when a company reaches a certain size certain small but important details seem to get overlooked. During some research of few culturally sensitive search terms for my Banned T-Shirts blog I found Zazzle right there as the second result in Google for “Nazi T-shirts”.
I am not here to make judgments on Zazzle’s design […]
Zazzle Chooses SEO over Usability, Community Recognition, and Overall Experience
If you raised $17 million is this how you would design your homepage?
Personally, I think this just looks like Zazzle hired some SEO firm who convinced them they needed more text links on their homepage because its the right thing to do for SEO. It isn’t inviting, it isn’t pretty, it is just a […]

I am not someone who gets excited about avatars but they are big business. I was reading a few months ago the revenue for avatars on the internet and I remember being blown away at how much folks were making off these simple little images. Avatars more than just cute pictures. Avatars are representation of […]
Zazzle’s Affiliate Program Moves from CJ to Performics
It is official, Zazzle sent out their last emails informing affiliates that they are moving from Commission Junction (CJ) to Performics at the end of this month.

Personalized M&M T-Shirts at Zazzle - WHY!?! - Another Zazzle API Example (and rant)
