Is That Magento Extension Really That Popular?

Posted on November 2, 2012 by admin

If you want a cool new weather app for your iPhone you pop on over to the App Store, type in “weather” and get hundreds of apps to choose from. But how do you decide which one to get?

For most people, the reviews make the difference. You look for the most popular product in your price range, read a few reviews to see what people say, and powered with that information you can make a decision. We’ve talked about the power of reviews before and their value isn’t going away anytime soon.

Now, If you’re looking for a cool new Magento theme or extension among the sea of software at MagentoConnect you may think to do the same, but you’ll notice something is different. Where you might expect to find just reviews you’ll also see a flame icon that represents “popularity”.

Popularity is intended to track the number of times a Magento theme or extension has been downloaded. The problem with popularity though is that people have figured out how to game the system. Just look at the numbers. Does 350,000 downloads and only 6 reviews make sense?

Magento is on to this trickery and working on a solution, but it highlights an important fact. Reviews matter! Nothing is more insightful than what other users have to say and you can learn a lot about the capability and quality of a product in just a few minutes.

So with all that said you may find yourself asking, “What are the best REVIEWED programs on MagentoConnect?” Well, if you sort by Most Reviewed you’ll find that Commative’s flagship Ultimento theme with built in extensions is not only the most reviewed theme on MagentoConnect, but it’s the most reviewed paid program on all of Magento!

We don’t mean to brag, but Ultimento comes with great support and includes multiple themes and over 15 individual extensions, all rolled into one easy to install package that we’re pretty proud of. We think it’s worth checking out, and from all the reviews it sounds like we’re not the only ones.

Magento Runs 1 In 3 Ecommerce Sites

Posted on September 17, 2012 by admin

It’s an amazing statistic, but Magento now runs nearly one in every three websites (31.4%) in the Alexa top million! This is an incredible share of the market given the number of competitors offering their own ecommerce solutions.

Magento is by far the fastest growing company in the ecommerce space, due much in part to flexibility of the platform. Magento has also been widely adopted by outside developers who make thousands of themes and extensions making the software more dynamic than any other.

Google Launches Trusted Store Magento Extension

Posted on August 31, 2012 by admin

Google has a little known program called Google Trusted Store that allows online stores to be rated for customer satisfaction. By integrating sales data with Google your store can collect metrics on shipping rates, complaints, and overall quality so that customers can get a better idea of who they’re dealing with.

Now Google has released a Google Trusted Store Magento Extension to help automated this integration, making it easier than ever to give your customers piece of mind when buying. The extension is free and well worth considering if you want to increase conversions and repeat rates.

We can’t stress the importance of reviews enough. Reputation regularly trumps price when it comes to online sales and everything you can do to assure the customer helps. A product or site with lots of great reviews is invaluable to being successful online.
