A couple of months ago, I was one of the first to post about "Niche Products Monthly", a membership site set up to give you three "adsense style" sites per month (along with a lot of extra features). I have just learned that a number of original buyers subscriptions have ended, and so slots for [...]
Another way that my Blog gets found, is via the (Google) search phrase "my new oscommerce is really slow" – when first installed osC is quite clunky, but there are many ways that you can make into a lean, mean site. You need this eBook that I wrote: This shows a number of ways to [...]

Anyway, I digress, I had a Spam that had a couple of interesting nuggets of information: 1. [...]

Here's how I move osCommerce sites: 1. Purchase a cheap temporary domain name (eg: www.yoursite.info) 2. Select your NEW host, and get the account [...]
