3: I think choosing a good managed shopping cart is an important step, but it's not for everybody that easy to find the correct one for his/her eCommerce. 6: Testing is also a very important step to relieve you're customers from annoyances like during checkout the process errors out or so.But I think testing involves re-reading as well, spelling misstakes can be really annoying. 10: not only at startup but regular promotions keep people interested and coming back.
Hmm, "off the top of my head" really: http://tycoontalk.freelancer.com/1160933-post4.html Someone else seems to have posted the EXACT same thing off the top of their head already. And they did it MONTHS AGO.
