Richard - are you now paying google lots of money to advertise? or is the 'google personalised search' thing that i've just noticed being mentioned when i search on google working quite well?



I keep searching google and at the top of the results list i get 'product search results' listing similar items in the beamends shop.



I'm not sure i like this direct advertising stuff or not! I must have spent far too much time looking up parts on Richards website!



Good god no! Paying for web advertising is pointless!

Nothin' to do wiv' me Guv - it must be a Google thing, over which I have no control I'm affraid. There's no way on earth I'd *ever* use direct marketing as I associate it with crap products that can't be sold by more usual methods.

You're picked up on Google because it finds what's in your etc,etc, and because you have a sensible amount of info in there, too much info in the meta tag area and the search robots ingore it.

That wasnt the search i was doing before as i cant rember what that was for but it illustrates the point. it even manages to get your price!

i think it pulls it from Froogle - who seem to love you rich!

Google have a finger in everything these days! Good on em!

Ah right, I see what you mean! That's from Froogle, or GoogleBase, or whatever it's being called this week. They've finaly got the name right!
