Best of the best web hosting ecommerce sites, the search begins.

OK! I'm decided I need to setup an ecommerce site for some products products I own resale rights to but I don't know enough about the ecommerce hosting sites to choose one. So I need to dig a little and maybe find a good ecommerce hosting provider, one that will not charge a lot for web hosting as I do not have a lot of money to spend and need every feature you can imagine, I'm a software developer I need it all.

Step one research I don't even know what web hosting companies are out there I have an idea, GoDaddy, 1and1... See I already ran out, what's that say. I need to do a Google search that's what.

But before I do that let me lay down my hosting requirements this way I won't go back and forth between a Linux host and a windows host. Actually never mind I like nopCommerce, they write good, easy to read code and not to mention they don't charge anything for it. No special payment provider component needed to make sales no nothing or at least as I write this they don't.

Alright enough with the blah blah, where's the best of the best web hosting ecommerce site list OK here goes.

Ahh, one thing I didn't think of when I started writing this is that I need to know what my payment provider is going to be.

I'll come back to this once I made a decision. 

If you can read this I never finished the article but meant to before releasing it. drop me a line I'll pick it back up.  I'm tired.

Introduction

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.  Search engine optimization techniques support website visitors in easily locating the products and services they seek and effortlessly navigating your website content.  Search engine optimization uses advanced keyword management to ensure that more of your website visitors arrive at your site and find exactly what they’re looking for.  More...

Search engine optimization (seo) is a high priced keyword for a reason, so many people want free organic traffic this is done in part by search engine optimization (seo). Typically, the earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine, plain and simple.

Search engine optimization (seo) involves doing the following this is only a partial list for now but I'll keep working on it.

1. You keywords are in the page title and the domain if possible
2. Use meta tags
   1. name
   2. title
   3. keywords
3.  Use H! tags for section titles

Tools

1. Google Website Optimizer

more to come

well... it's been canceled. it just didn't live up to my expectations. There are so many other open source projects out there do exactyl the same thing.

 I'll just keep working on my project.

I'll release it some day.

going to launch a new site (http://www.psdsale.com/) soon (with in 3 months) using nopCommerce

every time I look at nopCommerce it just amazes me every time.

There are a least 125 social bookmarking sites. 

Just found a blog post that lists 125 different social bookmarking sites

check them out here

now the question can I automate submissions to them?

I just read Top 10 steps to optimize data access in SQL Server. Part II (Re-factor TSQLs and apply best practices) and thought it was a great read check it out http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/RefactorTSQLs.aspx

I found I new and practice a lot of what the article was teaching but found some stuff I didn't know.

ahhh.

I decided to inprove my page manager and brook my web part admin section.

oh well it needed to be done

the previous api didn't support long urls, the new api does.

now I just need to find the bug.... where oh where did I put that bug.... ahhh

Sinergia is an Asp.net help desk website developed using asp.net, the Workflow Foundation and the Windows Communication Foundation.

There are some good screen shoots and web casts.

You can learn more about it here

Update

The project has been put on hold while I research BlogEngine.net and get my website to where I'd like to have it then I'll come back to application development.

Original

It's taking longer that I thought to get out the first release. ahhh.

 I've got the whole day tomorrow, hopefully I'll upload it.

The idea is simple, a public help button that can be used by any application developer giving there application a way of displaying help or infomation to there users.

First let me define the problem, it seems to be a public problem as well.

So many applications public, open source or even commercial apps don't have help/information systems in their application.  I'm even to blame I don't have help notes in most of my apps. It's not that I don't want too; it's just that I add them as the need arises, obviously this is a problem. More...

I just added a new BlogEngine.NET extension to my blog that adds socal book marking to get the extension go here

The extension adds a button that will list links to all the major bookmarking sites, it does this using AddThis.com.

AddThis.com helps website publishers and bloggers spread their content across the web by making it easy for visitors to bookmark and share content to their favorite social destinations.

... and the dreams contine.

Kobe Starter Kit sounds very interesting, pulled the following off the kobe home page

Project Kobe is a getting started resource kit for planning, architecting, and implementing Web 2.0 applications and services using the Microsoft Platform. This resource kit is targeted toward technology decision makers, hands-on solution architects, development managers, and developers in the aspiring web startups community and in enterprises and businesses looking to invest in new Web 2.0 application/service development projects

That just sounds great and I can't wait.

I went searching today and found a great post on "Project Kobe community feedback" and I wish this was on the project home page at at microsoft things would have made a little more sense.

I've enjoined following Omar's Dropthings project he is very generous to release an open source project like this and as far as I know it's the only asp.net open source start page of it's kind.

Now that he's done an overhaul I'm going to take another look at it and see what he's done.

I learned a great deal from the first version can't wait to see what's new.

Check out his book here

Read more about the overhaul here

Excitement then disapointment... they took kobe off line and I don't think that was necessary, maybe a warning but not offline.

The Kobe project sounds like a dream come true. I stumbled across it in the asp.net downloads section followed the link watched a few videos and that's it... I'm so unsatisfied.
