Ebiz updates

Friday, May 16th, 2008

It's been a few days for Ebiz#3 and I'm finding out that I'm not getting enough traffic simply through Google Adwords.  I will have to add a blog to this store to get some SEO love. Volusion says that they can set up subdomains but I'm having trouble doing so now.  ...
