Happy Monday! The weekend always goes by too fast don't you think? I got a lot of my stuff packed up so I'm happy about that. I am also happy that it is supposed to be above 60 degrees today. Of course, it might snow later this week, but that's Kentucky for ya. Time to get on with the update, have a great afternoon! :)

Our featured post today comes from estabahn. He has an ecommerce site that is 9 months old, the site content has been up for 4 months. Google has indexed 225 pages, Yahoo about 100. He says 40% of the 3 to 5 of visitors I get each day come from search engines, the other half from social bookmarks. He says he is seeing the site show for a few long tail search terms, but no traffic. Is he wasting time trying to build traffic on such a new domain? Would he be better off buying a related domain with content that is 5+ years old? Click here!

As for the remaining posts, the first wants to find out if someone submitted his website to Google. The second ask about xml sitemaps . The third is looking for a shopping cart.

Would I Be Better Off Buying An Old Domain?

 Would I Be Better Off Buying An Old Domain?
I want to redesign my site navigation, right now it is generated with javascript so it is easier to manage across hundreds of pages from a single file.

I've started an e-commerce site that sells lingerie. The domain is 9 months old, the site content has been up for ~4 months. Google has indexed ~225 pages, yahoo about 100.

40% of the 3 to 5 of visitors I get each day come from search engines, the other half from social bookmark links that I've put on stylehive, digg, delicious, furl, spurl, propeller, reddit etc. For a total of about 80 backlinks. I work on the site 5 nights a week, adding products, content, tweeking the layout etc.

I'm seeing the site show for a few long tail search terms. But no traffic to speak of. I realize that the domain is still sandboxed at this point. But I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just wasting my time trying to build site traffic up on such a new domain.

Site for Review http://gossipgirl.download-tvshows.com/

It is developed recently so process of building links would not be correct i think. I want to make necessary changes on it so any suggestions would be great.

Can Someone Submit to G Base in My Website Name?

Go to Google Shopping and search for "checkoutproductdata".
You'll see a bunch of stuff that links to different websites.

I found that they are listing something to our website.
The entry that they list is absolutely nothing that we would have ever used! The link goes to our website. (Include the word "gawdy" in your search to find it.)

This is making me nervous as to how this can happen.

Recomended Shopping Cart NOT Store Builder

I'm looking to weigh up shopping cart solutions. When I say shopping cart I don't mean store builder and shopping cart such as Magento, Erol, Actinic and like, but something like Roman Cart.

The reason being I have a database shop that I have built in php specifically for our needs. Coding my own shopping cart seemed bit excessive so currently I use a free shopping cart called CartIt. The advantages of CartIt is that it runs on our own server driven by cgi scripts so the address bar always shows our domain.

However CartIt is a free piece of software, so development and support ceased a few years back. It also is not compliant with Google Checkout so I'm not eligible for a Checkout badge on my Adwords ads. So I'm currently accessing alternatives such as Roman Cart.
