Warmest Greetings,

:: Friday, July 25, 2003 ::

The proof is in the pudding... "Thank you Cre8asite"

"As a result of acting on some of the great and actionable advice I got, our qualified site traffic has more than doubled, and our sales are up dramatically vs. last year. Because we've gotten so much more business from our website, my wife has had to put off the Ebay component of our business to keep up with order fulfillment on our retail site."

Robert Clough of SearchEngineGuide has launched an Information Service. I really like Robert. He works quietly in the background of SEO-Land offering support and encouragement. His website has been a trusted resource for years. Good to see you still going strong Robert!

One of the areas I test for in usability evaluations for websites are links, labels and navigation structure. This article by Jared Spool is a favorite and may shed some light for you or offer inspiration >>> Getting Confidence from Lincoln - "What makes links work?"

Do you ever see things that make no sense whatsoever and you wonder how in the heck the people in charge let it remain there, or how it got to be there in the first place? Then you'll like This is Broken - "Monitoring the customer experience, by Mark Hurst."

Now here's something you won't see everyday and probably could care less about, but *I* got a real kick out of it so I took a picture. You can see Eric Itzkowitz's website (which is jam packed with SEO resources and companies) here >>> SEOlist.com



Do you use Opera? If so, Cre8asiteForums has Questions for Opera Users. Developers may be interested in the answers too.
