PALM BEACH -- Commerce Online Inc. (www.800commerce.com), a leading company specializing in both bricks and mortar and online merchant payment solutions, today announced the initial launch of its certified B2B portal www.800Commerce.com. The first of its kind social networking and certified online business directory will offer a bundled package of merchant services for bricks and mortar and online business including website development, hosting, merchant processing through its alliance network, and online marketing through the Google AdWords program. Programs will start at $49.00 a month, where new online or existing businesses will be provided a customized website, hosting, credit card services, online marketing and traffic through the social networking and certified business directory.

"We believe that www.800Commerce.com will become a leading destination for business services for both start-up and existing businesses online. According to the Yankee group, close to 5 million small businesses in the US alone don't yet have a website. Through 800Commerce.com, a business can be operating within three days through a new website, hosting, accept and take credit card transactions, and can cut costs of customer acquisition by being part of our certified business directory. CMIB is in a unique position to actually certify all our 800Commerce.com merchants within the directory and ensure a quality customer experience and guarantee satisfaction of products and services by our vendor listings, as 800Commerce.com will seek to provide merchant and credit card services to all business listings, knows their credit worthiness through our screening and application process, and will release customer funds only upon verified financial transactions," stated B. Michael Friedman for Commerce Online. We are looking at a strong residual income model just for listings alone, add income from merchant services and credit card transaction fees through our alliance program, and larger online marketing budgets from our business listings at their request, and it becomes clear that we expect 800Commerce.com to be a major driving force and revenue generator for CMIB," added Friedman.
