If you are looking for e-commerce software to meet these goals:

• SEO friendly (keyword, and urls)
• Easy to use (template driven)
• Low cost (under $200)
• Ownership (not leased or rented software)

Then I would recommend using CubeCart. I found this CubeCart review very helpful as well.

Here is some quick php code to help with paid links. If you have a paid link on your site with a set expiration date, it can be hard to remember to remove the link after the date. Here is some quick code to put in place when you place the link, so you can set it and forget it! (as they say)

<?
//set your link expiration date here.
$expiry = strtotime(”8/12/2008″);
$today = strtotime(”now”);

if ($today > $expiry) {
$new_status = ‘<p>non-paid link info</p>’;
} else {
$new_status = ‘<p>paid link info</p>’;
}
echo $new_status;
?>

Simple, right.

Anyone know anything about this bot?
