David,
Ahh… the pleasure of paranoia.
I found this thread doing a search for “ecartstore” because I was trying to get in touch with Nancy and, yes, its server (which also hosts one of my sites, sleepytimestore) had crashed and I couldn’t access the ecartstore site. Moon Lady’s comment was so objectionable that I registered in order to refute it.
I could only wish to be Nancy’s double, or her proxy. She’s much better looking than I am.
But I am certainly biased toward Nancy’s ecartstore because it makes me a lot of money. ??
If you want to find me in “real life,” check out my blog at babytalkblog.org. Please don’t leave any ugly comments though–my mother reads it. ??

Lady of the Moon,

I respectfully disagree with your judgments about Nancy Andrews (“she’s a link builder and nothing more”). I have engaged her as a consultant many times and have spent hours discussing most aspects of ecommerce, including SEO, with her. In fact, I would say that Nancy is not JUST an SEO expert, but also has expert knowledge of link building, conversion strategies, and marketing, and she is an all-around “expert” in building and running solid businesses. I have learned more from Nancy than from most of the so-called gurus running around.

For the record, I love WordPress. But I haven’t found anything that works as well as xcart out of the box for ecommerce stores that sell lots of products.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will also say that I am a very satisfied customer of hers who uses her version of the hosted xcart shopping cart (see https://www.ecartstore.com). And one of the main reasons I use her service is that I know that she stands behind it and can answer ANY question I have–including those about SEO.
