Warmest Greetings,

:: Friday, June 20, 2003 ::

Cre8asiteForums moderator, Sally Falkow, has a written an article on ecommerce called Finding the Pot of Gold on Your Web Site that includes quick reminder lists. I LOVE those types of articles! Quote: "Monthly reports from the National Retail Federation/Forrester Online Retail Index show that about 15.5 million households shop online every month, spending an average of $272 per person."

Do you submit pages again, even if they're already indexed by an engine? Is auto submission better/worse than hand submission? A look at SearchEngineCommando brings out the questions, and one of SEC's engineers too!

That was fast! Kalena races to test out Google's new AdSense promotion. You can see how it works on her site here >>> SearchEngineNews Blog

"Search Engine Vanity occurs when a company seeks to obtain number one search engine positioning for the simple purpose of one-upmanship on their competitors. Traffic data, click-thru-rates and conversions are all secondary considerations compared to the desire to ensure that when an Internet user searches for a product or service, their company website is listed above that of their competitors." We don't know anyone who suffers from "search engine vanity" do we????

Andy Beal writes Search Engine Vanity for SearchEngineGuide.com, whose owner Robert Clough ALSO has those danged GoogleSense ads humming along on his site.

Can I help it if I'm too BUSY to get to doing my own?

Black Knight, aka Ammon Johns went out to lunch and returns with a tattoo. He says so! It's buried in this thread about it being Friday. (See It's Friday.) This is what people do when SEO people get bored.

Now you know.

Recently said in Cre8asiteForums, when someone asked if FLASH would become the standard, replacing HTML. "One doesn't ask ranchers who need to tote bales of hay around to use compact convertibles."
