Who's Using Fresh Store Builder?

[Alien]

Found a lot of issues with the third party CSS code on a couple of the templates, whereby they are making calls to non existent files and also adding margins that are overriding the main styles.

(USING most recent update)

Yes, I've noted that too - there are some issues. At the moment we're basing our customisations on another template already supplied, but in the near future we'll be creating our own, original template from scratch.

Hi

I purchased the software and have started to build a site, i cant get the logo to load and need the autopopulate to grab more products.
Anyone know an easy way to grab the products ASIN in bulk to copy and paste. I must admit the replies from support seem slow thou.

@carey

can you confirm that the tracking codes are working? For the last few months I have had a pretty consistent conversion rate of around 1 sale per 4 clicks . This month (s1st / today) over 70 clicks, no sales.

am I just unlucky or has something gone wrong?

Cheers,

WW.

Hey WW,

Did you manage to clarify this in the end out of interest?

Second site gone live inflatable tents, changed it from little WP site I had. Needs more work on it but index updated and it stayed on front page of G so happy with that.

Work to do

logo
rewrite product content
add more inflatable tents from other affiliate programs because Amazon stock 2 , should have checked first.
learn and change CSS
promote

Still really like FSB

Nice site Aiden
I think it looks very good.

I'm currently building another FSB store using this theme (Stafolshop)

Just wandered if anyone knows how to change the footer links?
Can't see any options to do this.
I want to get an external link in there.

Anyone know?

Thanks
Mike

How about the product descriptions, are they automatically being spun?

Hi ProDomains

I have tweaked a few but need to do a lot more to avoid duplicate content as still a lot via Amazon, in fairness the spun stuff is OK but needs the personal touch!

How's everyone finding search engines reaction to these stores?

I haven't jumped in to it as yet - but I can design and develop ecommerce stores myself. I had a script designed for me to do something very similar but after Panda, sites operating from it started getting knocked about a bit, which has warned me off 'shop builders'

From what I've heard, people are getting indexed on G - anyone seeing any search engine issues?

It does look like it to me yes.


Have you got the spinner...
Any thoughts?

Thanks Mike

I think it's better than my previous WP effort and a great foundation to build on. Sorry can't answer your query as I only signed up a couple of days ago.

Cheers

I have only done 2 and they need more work, IMHO if you put the work in on the original content then don't see a problem. I am not sure what % needs to be original but as a platform I have stumbled upon a number of FSB sites during normal searches so they are being indexed.

If they get hit then I suppose I still have the original content to put on a WP site so all is not lost.

Its still way to early for me to really say.
Only had the site up for several days - but it is getting indexed.
Pulling up for a some products (longtail keywords) & converting a few sales.

No doubt the biggest obstacle is the product descriptions IMO.
Looking at a few keyword searches google already seems to know I'm similar to Amazon.. Just by the way its displaying the results.
I think no doubt in time sites will easily get knocked for this if left alone.
(just my opinion)
I intend to work alot on the descriptions (aswell as other content) & I don't see any reason why that shouldn't work.

I've got the spinner - but not sure thats adequate yet.
Needs alot more work from me to get the best out of it. Or at least try.
If not I'll revert to adding my own unique descriptions. But ideally a mix of both.

Anyone getting good results out of the spinner?

Hi Mike,

Not at my PC at the moment, but if you edit the template php file you can manually edit footer links in I expect. I think it's prob default_layout.php

If not will check on Monday.

I went live on a brand new domain with no history three days ago.

Added design and unique content. Day 1 - 5 UVs, Day 2 - 40 UVs, today when I checked several hrs ago, was at 80 UVs. 4 orders too via the reports on site. All from search engine results. Time will tell though.

Yep your right! ... Its Layout_default.php
All done
Thanks for that, been scratching me head over that one.

This looks interesting. One question though if anyone can help?

Is there an admin panel for each site or is there someway to manage multiple sites without logging to each one? Won't be a problem if you have just a few but if you have 100's it's going to be time consuming to login to each and make changes.

 

[chippyb]

You have one login for each site, i think there was talk of a multi login but dont think it will happen soon

Thanks, kind of scuppers deploying it on any large scale but I think I'll take a look anyway.

i've noticed an annoying bug. not sure if it's just me. if i goto the change templates page and hover over the view/enable pop ups it appears to actually change my site. twice now i've then gone to my site and have a php error looking for another template fruitbox or something like that.
