Search Engine Friendly osCommerce

[author20]

I know an expert who has figured out a way to set up osCommerce in a way that makes it a magnet to Google. Let me advise you about the most important fact in optimizing your page on the Web: if you are #1 in google, you'll be very high in most other search engines, including Overture-powered sites. The time to achieve search engine positioning varies from topic to topic. For instance, if there is no competition (such as a specialized product or new topic), it might be possible to get you to #1 in less than a month, with the launch of the first version of osCommerce. On the other hand, if you require top positioning in an area that is quite competitive, it can take six months or longer, and dozens of design revisions. The good news is, this firm is good enough to get you on the first page of google -- even in a competitive industry. And they will prove it.

The S.F.-based design firm is probably the best in the United States at getting #1 status in google.

This firm uses a mysQL database to monitor, document and track the words in your site, and your competitor's site. The words and positions of your site and your competitor's sites are analyzed. The resulting analysis of your site's performance suggests design approach and words necessary to improve the performance of your site. This process can actually put you in the top position. It takes from 3 weeks to 6 months. They are not free, but they are reasonable. If you want to get in touch with them, let me know.

PS: I am near the completion of an osCommerce enhancement that facilitates the purchase of a paid subscription to a membership site: for educational sites, entertainment sites, membership sites, subscription game sites, auction sites, and subscription content sites (where access to specific pages after payment for specific content-based products). Isn't it funny? Subscription sites make the most money on the Internet - yet very few shopping carts support this simple type of payment.

If you are interested in sharing development costs in exchange for having the ability to deploy the most powerful osCommerce possible -- let me know. E-mail above.
