ProStores recently improved their eBay interface to offer template design that is unparalleled from previous versions.

The image on the left is an actual eBay listing template we tested for one of our clients listing both to their website and eBay. Once the template is installed in ProStores, you simply click a button on the product in the backend that say “List to eBay” using this template (or any other variation you create).

So YES – ProStores does now have eBay templates that can make your eBay listing stand out in the crowd.

There has been a fair amount of discussion about how ProStores can help your business grow and how friendly it is to use. With the recent changes, we say that ProStores has adapted to become a formidable platform for online sellers with ease of use in many ways.

Many sellers who are trying to list to eBay and an online store will find the new feature easy to use and an all-in-one place to sell online. Not only does ProStores feature this new ditty, but it also feeds directly to many of the shopping portals like Googlebase, Shopping.com etc. This means that in one place you can list your items and sell multi-channel without much effort at all. I’d say that is worth the price of admission.

aGenius offers a store design package that also integrates all the elements of the eBay listing template and Prostores Web Design to make it easier to get up and running beautifully.

It really doesn’t matter what I say, it’s just that I said something.

How many users are out there that are looking for your perspective, more information or something to fodder with in the realm of your conversation. A Lot.

Take an hour and read about it, engage in it, and have it for lunch. You’ll be surprised how fast you can build a network of socials that are looking for that message that you have to offer.

Traveling around doing a little research and looking at “make money online” -I  find a site in the news. I think, Wow, this could be good- it’s got to be the gospel, it’s in the news. Follow the link “thru” http://community2.myfoxaustin.com only to be redirected to spam affiliate income spammer site. Now I’m convinced he is good, because after all he spammed google out of a top position looking like a great news story.

So I do a little research. I see that Fox Austin has about 1700 blogs. and almost all of them are affiliate spammers. I stop and think for a few minutes, hmmm, could put my own spam( I mean link) and have it rank news too. Then .. I think again. Ok Fox Austin, you need to clean up your site! Spam Alert.

And of course Google, take a look: Those blogs  are definitely not news.

Well let’s see, Eddie over at Auctionchex tweeted this out today and it reminded me. I had forgotten.

eBay Picture Hosting will go away beginning in August, which means that if you are hosting using eBay for your images, you have to change.

Here is a breakdown for the image hosting services that we compiled.

Some of the above services come along with auction management services- some don’t. With all the fiasco of the Auctiva switch over to a paid system, and the change in eBay picture hosting, well, there is a lot going on around here.

Check out our latest creation: San Diego DUI Attorney Website. This site is sitting on a great backend that allows easy updates, changes and editing by the site owner. We are currently working with the site owner to do some good SEO (search optimization) in a very, very competitive market. Lawyers are paying as much as $35.00 per click in local markets. With the local market search volume for ONE keyword being about 4000 per month, the cost of advertising in top spots for that one keyword can range an exorbitant $4,000 per month. Couple up a few keywords in the lawyer field and a new lawyer needs a big investment in adwords to make a go of it. New Lawyers are therefore better off investing in SEO and even expensive SEO to get their sites ranked without paying the high cost of just plain advertising.
