billybw Community/networking sites
I was considering signing up to some networking services like MySpace, as well as free blogging sites (Blogger) to represent the sites I manage in those areas.
These profile pages/blogs would be "content lite", with their main purpose to refer people to my real commercial sites.
I know this is not a new idea but I was curious to get people's opinions on the effectiveness of this kind of marketing strategy.
Thanks, and good to be here!

[right][snapback]195762[/snapback][/right] Achieving high rankings won't be determined solely on whether you use Miva or not. Yes, you can achieve high rankings with a Miva URL. My Miva URL's are very well indexed by the SE's. But, you'll need to apply the same optimization principles to the Miva URL's as you would apply to a static page. changintimes: Shopping Carts And Search Engines. (Shopping Cart Discussion)
i have a website developed with frontpage, the "buy now" buttons tie into the miva shopping cart for purchases,
i am thinking about simply using a miva shopping cart as my entire website,
i have some templates to choose from with miva,
how do the search engines treat such a shopping cart url with miva information in it?

Thanks in advanced Webseeker: Question On Tracking Conversion Rates (Server Logs and Tracking ROI)
Soon here I'll be asking more questions about tracking conversion rates, but for now I have a question about cookies.
Let's do a scenario: Someone sees my page from a keyword search, my page comes up because I'm on a PPC campaign. They click on it and go to my site.
These software programs that one uses to track these visitors, don't they implement a cookie to track his progress?
In sales it's often said that a consumer needs to see an advertisement 7 times before committing to buy. I don't know any statistics for the online world, but let's say it's similar, in that the consumer may need to come back to the site a few times before making a purchase as they're "comparing prices". Say they come back again, and who knows how many times before, but this time it's about 4 days later and they're at my site to buy, so they do.
Am I safe to assume that the tracking software I will use tracks this buyer through the use of a cookie?
I bring this up because I use a program that helps me regulate cookies on my computer. I can see all the cookies on my machine at the click of a button. Some are automatically allowed by a pre-setting. Many are automatically blocked. In fact, I'll block all cookies if I don't need them to navigate a site.
All this leads me to another question: If others regulate the cookies on their computer as well, and I don't have a clue what percentage of surfers do, but wouldn't this slightly alter the results of the conversion rates?
I've purchased eBooks before and I knew ahead of time it was an affiliate program. I could also tell the main URL of the location of the link and instead of bypassing the affiliate number, I would just click on the link to go where the item is being sold at. I presume from clicking on that link, the tracking will give that affiliate credit for the purchase I made. Correct? I know it's yes, but what if I had cookies turned off? What if I didn't purchase right away, but came back a week later and then purchased, still had cookies off...wouldn't the affiliate lose the commission because I had cookies off?
Just trying to get feel for tracking conversion rates, but trying to understand the technicals first. Your advice would be most appreciated.
