My CPA opined that, since Intuit had finally patched QuickBooks up to miminal standards, it was not worth my trouble to move to Peachtree (I did consider it). <br /><br />I&#39;ve already reluctantly purchased QB 2009, although I haven&#39;t needed to install it yet. Apparently disabling the auto-updater prevented Intuit from crippling my 2006 program -- it still seems to be fully functional, anyway. I will probably install QB 2009 next week regardless. One must keep up.<br /><br />I don&#39;t think Google gives Blogger users access to meta tags or any HTML other than posts. I only ever use the WYSIWYG editor and drag-and-drop templates, so I&#39;m not sure about that. I&#39;m weak on the technical aspects. <br /><br />Thanks again for taking an interest in my business. I hope that you&#39;ll continue to enjoy reading Curious Business. And if Intuit hasn&#39;t reformed their arrogant attitude by 2012, I might still switch to Peachtree the next time they force the issue.The Mayorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04151768797194526672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31036985.post-85567711211300887642009-06-04T12:52:07.736-04:002009-06-04T12:52:07.736-04:00Ken, it looks like May was unkind; I hope the summer improves. I’ve been randomly reading some of your blogs and have a few thoughts. <br /><br />While you’re not in spending mode now, I agree with your SCORE rep that investing in SEO would be useful. Here’s how another business did it.<br /><br />Have you thought about adding some complementary keywords and description Meta tags to your Curious Business site? You might try opening your store link in a separate browser window so people can toggle back and forth.<br /><br />You said that you don’t want people selling to you; however this could be a good time to consider Peachtree Accounting. Yes, our obsolescence policy is the same as QuickBooks, but Peachtree Complete Accounting 2009 got 4 stars on Amazon.com and our latest release (not yet available on Amazon) got 5 out of 5 stars from The CPA Technology Advisor.<br /><br />In the last two years we’ve addressed some of the concerns you listed for QuickBooks. <br />• You can register your Peachtree product online<br />• Information is available for GL and financial statement reporting purposes for all closed years<br />• We’ve enhanced payroll setup and employee recordkeeping <br />• The cash flow manager and Peachtree Business Analytics tools provide more insight into your business<br />• And, yes, we keep adding features, but we make it easier for you to customize the product and get to the info you need faster <br /><br />Want more info? Read what our users are saying on the Peachtree Community. And learn about switching from QuickBooks to Peachtree here.<br /><br />I’ll be following your progress and hoping for a great summer. If nothing else, your garden should be great! <br /><br />Shari Willman<br />Peachtree Product ManagerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
