New eStore online

My new software eStore is finally online at Dryice Computing. There are not many products in there yet, but it's early days. I expect to be adding at least one new software product every week over the next few months.

I decided that it was better to get my site published and in the search engines now, rather than wait until I had a large range of products.
I suspect that this approach will also have the advantage of being search-engine friendly in that its content will change every week as I add more products.

I have now started work on the new site for my eBook store. I already have a lot of stock for that, so it's going to take a while to write all the pages for it. However, I'll probably take the same approach as the first store and get it up and running with a small stock and bring in others on a daily basis.
Hopefully I'll get my template-based eStore Builder program running soon, and all that hard work will be taken away.

On the subject of search engines, I just looked at the Alexa rank for 7 sites (4 of my own and 3 others) that I regularly monitor and every single one of them has fallen slightly by an average of about 500 places. That's nothing compared with the rises they have experienced recently, but it seems slightly odd to me. Perhaps Alexa have been doing a bit of housekeeping over the weekend.
