Thanks. There is so much out there that doesn't cost (except time), that it is hard to justify $299 (of course in the bricks & mortar world that is the cost of a typical one-time Money Mailer or newspaper ad). I've been doing directories related to my site too.
A major women's magazine requested some of my dishes for a photo shoot and will credit my site. I will be curious to see what happens with that. It won't be out until December. I will post the link when I see it. I don't want to jinx it. Kim
Hi Kim,
You're #1 for the keyword phrase "decorative dishes" and "retro small plates".
What other keywords have you been optimizing for?

I got some interesting info from another forum. MSN Live is not showing up in stats. Maybe I didn't fall off... Kim:

From that link:
Quote:So MSN Search Switched to Live.com the other night. Guess what... Live.com is not passing referer data. I.e. you will not know what type of traffic you are getting from live.com. You won't know you got 10 or 100 or 1,000 visitors from Live.com. You won't know what keywords they searched on in Live.com to find you in the free results.
They're taking lessons from ebay. Gotta pay for everything.
Hi Fiber - Yes, I did my own searches after I read that and I am there afterall - I guess you can't believe your stats. I just got alarmed when I dropped from 50/day to 0
.
I guess it wasn't planned by Microsoft:
Quote:MSN Says Live.com Referral Bug "Not By Design"
Friday we reported that Live.com Is Not Passing Referer Information, the realization about this in the SEO and Webmaster community sent ripples throughout many of the forums. MSNdude replied to the thread at WebmasterWorld stating that this was a bug.
"This is NOT by design. We're looking into it. Thanks for telling us."
So rest assured, I am sure there will be a fix pretty quickly. Well, not over the weekend, but hopefully some time today or early this week.
