Ok, so I've been busy working on some new development. This time, it looks like EcommerceForEveryone.com will be going international. We've recently launch some sites for Canada, France, Germany, UK and US (sorry Japan). We're still working enhance things a big, but for the mean time, they are doing ok.
I've also been inviting people to come check out Amazon Associates forum. There is discussion about all things e-commerce and Amazon.

Investment In E-commerce Technology This Season
It's good to see that the hit to our economy has not stopped investment on innovative new website technologies. Many websites are investing in the user experience in attempts to keep and get new business.
One notable site this season is babyage.com . They have steamlined their look, and included a healthy dose of ajax. I like the quick info function they made, it's an easy way to get some product information, while still browsing through the category. Target.com has been using that feature for a little while now. I did my own version of that feature a little while back on one of my older (2yrs) sites.
I hope this holiday season brings in the kind of sales that retailers are looking for. I'd be very bad for business for the holidays to be a sales bust. Times are hard right now, just ask Circuit City, lol. While I've been working hard to crank out some new features, I think that just some basic site improvements, will improve convertion rates, and really thats all any retailer could ask for. If you focus on pleasing your customer, you'll do well any time of the year.

Coding Through The Holidays
The last two weeks have seen some decent days of coding. I worked on my new site editor for the e4e control panel, also I worked on the ability to shop by browsing brands, actors, directors and authors.
This gives people easy access to the favorite brands that they like. Personally, I enjoy that because I'm always looking for quality items. I bought some Dunkin Donuts coffee (stupid commercials), and it kept me on a good caffeine high while I was getting my hands dirty with some php. I must have stood up until about 4:30am the other night.
This is a new year, so I guess I should say something about it. Watch out..... I'm coming through. I guess that's all I had to say about the new year, lol. On to better things. I'm helping my step-son run his first "hello world" script, lol. That was fantastic. I bought him his first computer this Christmas. I'd been wanting to get him one earlier, but because he managed to get into trouble at home or school, it never quite seemed the right time.
He's been using computers at school and the library, and once in a while, his mom will let him use hers so he can go on myspace and other wastes of time, lol. I told him that I'd teach him to program php over the summer (teach a man to fish...).
I'm going to work on finishing up the style changer for e4e, and it will soon be ready to come out of beta.

Improving The Shopping Experience
Recently OrderItOnTheWeb.com has been on a mission to improve it's overall offering by adding an e-commerce blog to keep shoppers current with the site's activities, as well as a new shopping forum to make shopping social again.
This holiday shopping season has seen a sharp rise in traffic and sales. I believe that the various efforts to improve the site quality for the visitors has made a significant impact, or at least Google has noticed.
Site traffic jumped upward tremendously after the cyber monday shopping rush strangely enough. The best part about it, is that it's non-paid traffic from the search engines. The increase in traffic has been consistent for at least the last 8 days, with hopefully many, many more to follow. I guess the big question I'm facing right now, is "will the traffic actually last".
During the last major Google update, OrderItOnTheWeb.com web from a pr3 straight to pr5 skipping 4 altogether. I've never seen that before, so it was quite shocking and obviously I was elated by the fact my site's ranking was going up. Not so much because the extra green in my toolbar, but because hopefully it will mean a better and deeper indexing of my site.

E-commerce For Everyone
I've just launched my new e-commerce websites service for amazon associates, it's called E-commerce For Everyone www.ecommerceforeveryone.com . I've spent the last year or so doing development work and I'm finally getting closer to being completed anyways.
The sites are looking good and the features are good for version one. I've been posting in a few forums and doing a little ppc to drive traffic to the site. I wrote an ecommerce article that went up on ezine articles the other day.
I hope that amazon associates can use the service and make good money from it. I was advising a client that they need to market the site, which is about the only thing they need to focus on outside of making sure they're site looks good.
