I have done many research thru godaddy, and the total amount that i have to invest for this purpose is about $700 usd? this is includes:
1. Bulk Domain name (5 domains) = $ 20.67/year
2. Certified Domain = $4.99/year
3. Search engine visibility = $35.88/year
4. Quick Cart Hosting = $29.99 x 12 = 569.88
5. Website Protection Scanner = $59.94/year
6. Premium SSL = $49.99
Do you think the amount is over price or reasonable? i have done bit more research on top host provider too, and their price are cheaper? why is dat so?

free traffic thru SEO... but I'm not what you call very skilled and expert on that technique. As a matter of fact, I'm tweaking everyday on my personal wordpress blog coz I'm having difficulty with their technical settings, etc. You know, trial and error phase. But I have no choice since search engine loves WP. Anyway, as to using e-commerce, it came as part of my action plan before but I decided to modify it into a product review website. Basically, product-based affiliate marketing is my direction of learning and I wanna do things the old-fashion way...

That is a lot since my .com website works me out acout $5 per month. So I think that it will waste if you arent well prepaired...
arent there alternatives? and please tell what a certified domain is? I am unfamiliar with this term

certified domain means,the domain has been validate,from my understanding, i am suppose to get a online certificate to upload on my site. I think it is necessary for e-commerce websites to gain customer confidence on their transaction.. but i dunno if it is actually essential to have my domain certified.
