You new product and site is ready for a big day, everything looks fine on your side, but are you 100% sure ?

1. Cross browser test

Open your site in all browsers you have and check is everything fine.
Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari are most popular and you must test your site in all of them.
Install Web Developer Firefox Add-on and test all screen sizes.
Use browsershots.org to preview site in many other browsers and resolutions.

2. Server availability check

Visit host-tracker.com and check is your server available all around the world.
If not, contact hosting support or change server (I would change it).

3. Payment processor test

Set test price for your product to $0.01 and try to purchase it.

4. Product delivery test

Free mail servers like Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail could block emails from small hosting companies.
If your customers don’t receive product in next few hours after purchase, you will be in trouble with refund requests, comments on forums and email contacts.
Open one free email account on each of these services and test it.

Write small php code:

<?php
mail(”test@yahoo.com”, “Email Test”,”Email Test”,”From: your-email@your-domain.com” );
?>

Save it to mailtest.php , upload to your server and visit your-domain.com/mailtest.php
Change “test@yahoo.com” to your new free email and repeat process for each email.

On “Thank You page” mention what is subject of your email and explain that it could be in Junk box.

5. Backup server

During first few days high traffic can crash your server or jealous competitors could make DoS attack.
One DoS attack may take about 48 hours and in that time nobody can see your site.
You need to make copy of your site to another server and in case your main server is down you can quickly change DNS settings inside domain register.
I use PowWeb as backup server because they host site on multiple servers which is more secure for DoS attacks.

Save NS1 and NS2 settings for backup server in online email, so you can react fast.

Update (just my small comment on this post):

This table and graphs show only web traffic on each forum.
Real value of each place in my opinion is different.

WarriorForum WSO
This place made me the highest profit in selling digital products.
Also I learned a lot about IM, reading forum and WSO reports.

SitePoint Marketplace
I didn’t have success selling digital products and services on this forum,
but I made nice income selling web sites.

DigitalPoint (Buy, Sell or Trade)
This place is also good for selling sites but I used it at most for finding cheap resources.
Few months ago I bought image pack for $40 on DP and made custom site with it
and after 3 months sold it for $1200 on SitePoint…

Each forum can convert well depends what are you selling and how.
Try all !
(I used adtrackz to track my sales, but you can find other similar scripts)

I would like to hear your experience about these marketplaces.
What kind of product or service is working the best on which forum for you?

Post comment about your experience.

If you sell online any products or services, live chat on your sales page could help you to increase conversion rate and talk with visitors.
I have tried many solutions and found these two as the best:

# 1 - phpOnline script

This is PHP/MySQL/Flash chat script that is hosted on your server and there is destop application with admin panel.

# 2 - Meebo Me

Meebo Me lets you chat with anyone who comes to your blog or Web page. Visitors show up in your Meebo buddylist so you can strike up a conversation, answer questions, or just keep tabs on guests.

If you use some low shared hosting plan, this solution is better than phpOnline because of server resources.

I found pingdom free online tool that can help you to optimize a web page.

How it works

The Full Page Test loads a complete HTML page including all objects (images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes). It mimics the way a page is loaded in a web browser.

The load time of all objects is shown visually with time bars.

You can view the list of objects either in load order or as a hierarchy. The hierarchy view allows you to see which objects are linked to in for example a CSS file.

Every test also shows general statistics about the loaded page such as the total number of objects, total load time, and size including all objects.

3. HTML VALIDATOR (based on Tidy and OpenSP)
   HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon in the status bar when browsing. The details of the errors are seen when looking the HTML source of the page.

   The extension is based on Tidy and OpenSP. Both algorithms were originally developed by the Web Consortium W3C. And now extended and improved by a lot of persons. Both algorithms are embedded inside Mozilla/Firefox and makes the validation locally on your machine, without sending HTML to a third party server.
