excuse me. I already said we are not taking on clients. I’m not selling anything.

I was expressing an opinion.

Fair enough.

I do have on caveat on using WP for e-commerce. If you selling a single product (say an information product) WP would work fine for e-commerce. It’s just that when you get into even 5 to 10 products; managing inventory, shipping costs, order status, product options, returns, credits, accounting, etc. can get to be a royal pain unless you have a cart to help you manage your business.

There are lots of good carts on the market, and you can attach a WP blog to any cart.(even Yahoo store).

I’ll stop now. I couldn’t help myself.

You’re right this is a WP blog, and I love WP, but blogs are better suited to content than to product catalogs. I wouldn’t buy a Porsche to haul lumber. I’d probably something designed to haul cargo.

I can’t argue your logic about Nancy.

How absurd to think someone would know anything about SEO that got to the number one position in less than a year(when the site was a Yahoo store, it moved to xcart in Nov), and has held #1 through several algorithm changes. Especially since everybody with 1000 links is #1 for their main keyword phrase. Right?

Did Nancy wrong you in a different life?

Opps, I guess Nancy can defend her own honor, but I knew that ??

Geez, people are jaded! Mr. Corbett is a customer, and we are helping Paige get started in the business.

Funny thing how that nameserver thing works… when the site is hosted on our server they use our nameservers.. how odd.

In order to get the top of Google, I guarantee that you need to know just a wee bit more about the SEs than how to get a link. Believe me Nancy is a very intelligent woman that knows a hell of a lot more about SEO than many of the people selling e-books, and keeps on learning.

We know we aren’t “owed” a number one spot, and have fallen out of the #1 spot several times; the point is we keep coming back. You don’t do that by being a “One Trick Pony” or ignoring the ever changing SE landscape.

As far as your e-commerce question; for Christ sake, go a buy a copy of x-cart or some other SUPPORTED shopping cart. An X-Cart license is for life, it has real support. If $185 is going to break the bank, you don’t have enough capital to start a business in the first place.

Just so you understand I’m not trying to drum up business. We aren’t taking on new customers. We have a very small base of customers that we know personally that’s it.
Thanks for trying to pitch us anyway (rcorbett and Paige).

I just posted to defend my wife’s honor. (I’m so gallant)
