PCWorld.ie is a joke
If you visit pcworld.ie right now, you’ll get an invalid hostname error.
If you visit www.pcworld.ie right now (notice the difference), you’ll see a crap ‘coming soon’ page.
If you visited either pcworld.ie or www.pcworld.ie a year ago, you would have gotten a functional online store.
If you visit either pcworld.co.uk or www.pcworld.co.uk right now, you get a very attractive online store.
Two points here:
- If you have a functional online store already in place, don’t take it down. If you have to take it down, don’t take it down for a year.
- Multinational retailers don’t take Ireland seriously. Not even a little bit.
