What does an ecommerce job mean to you? Is it a technical job, where someone has skills in HTML programming? Or is it just about any job working in an online business.
This week I've been asking myself just what people mean when they advertise an ecommerce job.
The question has become quite pressing now that I've added an ecommerce jobs page to my www.ecommercereport.com.au web-site.
I find that the jobs I'm listing, which are selectively culled from those listed at the big generalist Australian job sites (like Seek, Careeone, My Career etc, (and some smaller niche ones like LinkedIn) are very diverse.
There are marketing jobs, technical jobs, project management and indeed a wide variety of other management jobs.
Now thats a problem because the people looking for technical jobs, involving programming, coding, design etc, are very different from those looking for marketing jobs, and/or those looking for management jobs.
I'd like to break down my jobs pages into separate sections, so as to make it easier to find those jobs they're interested in.
And I'd like your help to let me know what would make sense.
What should the categories be?

Expired domains - a business worth up to $1.5million?
Dark Blue Sea's chief executive, Greg Platz, has just told me that yes, the expired domains business they've bought is Domain 8.
And yes, he confirmed the purchase price is potentially worth as much as $1.5million if all the earn-out conditions are satisfied.
However he also confirmed that DBS has only bought Domain 8's expoired domains business.
It hasn't bought the entire Domain 8 company, and it hasn't therefore bought the Australian registrar license that Domain 8 holds.
Thats importrant for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Domain 8 still has some very valuable assets.
Its also important because it throws the spotlight on the value being placed on Domain 8's expired domains business.
Dark Blue Sea's deal tells the world that Domain 8's expired domains business alone, could be worth as much as $1.5million if it reaches the profitability targets being forecast.
Now seeing as Domin 8's top selling expired com.au domain thus far has been printing.com.au at $8000, that a big call.
Indeed it raises as many questions as it answers.
Why pay so much, at least potentially, for what, at the moment at least, is such a small such a new business.
Of course, the payment isn't being made in cash; its being made wholly in new DBS shares.
So thats a consideration, as too is Photons latest attempted takoever.
(Any DBS share issuing will dilute Photon's current stake and make it harder for them)'.
Even so, this is a very odd deal.
