I'll have to check out the Google 5cent thing, as many of the serious, geek sites, which disucss placement position on Search Engines, have discussed this but I don't recall what was decided.
Basically, keeping up with the Tech Geeks is my husbands responsibility, since he is a Tech Geek himself.
But, will certainly investigate, although I can't complain about the amount of traffic our 4 web sites get.
I'd like to see more traffic to our eBay store, but will also have to look into that also. We get a goodly amount of eBay Store buyers now, and we are pleased with it.
Thanks again!

Neglus - Yeah - I can sub in JPb buttons - I just get burned out on Photoshop doing photo editing and haven't gotten up the motivation level to create 20 new buttons.
JWP - I'll try to make it a little clearer...
Lets say you sell rings. You have gold rings, platinum rings, and silver. You asign a code to each term...
Gold = gld
Silver = slv
Platinum = plt
Since your rings have stones you also want to make them searchable be stones...
Diamond = dmn
Emerald = emr
Saphire = sph
then you have solitaire, dinner rings, interlocking, etenrity... you get the point.
When you type up the description of each of your items, at the end of the description you insert all of your codes that apply to that particular ring.
Now you create the searches by entering a code (ie Gld) into the search box of your store, copy the URL of the search results, and paste it into your html code as the destination of your link to "Gold Rings".
Once you complete ths string of searches you can paste them into a left side navigation box in your store as well as insert it directly into your auction template.
The ongoing queston when it comes to isertng the code into auction templates s whether or not you should use an image as opposed to a text link.
Did that make any sense?

Sounds somewhat paranoid, but I know that 99% of the switchblade sales on eBay are illegal. That is, because we carry such on one of our web sites, and have been in that business since 1991, and 99% of those listed as CA Legal size are no more CA Legal size than I am a poached egg!!!
The few times I risk attempting to put up a knife on eBay, I was immediately shut down, yet the others easily get away with it by lying. Wonder who turned me in? I am sure it was not the eBay customer who would have wanted such a unique knife. I am just as sure that it was one of the major automatic knife sellers on eBay who did not want the competition.
Just a thought.

JW - Google counts UNIQUE clicks. You want your competitor to sit the and click all day. You only pay for the one but in the meantime think of all the customers he ignored

Comics - For various reasons, I don't post my selling ID. There is an old thread around here where someone posted a store link that gave me the idea... I'll see if I can find another example for you.
