Re: Suggestions Needed. From Bob Williams at Online Portfolio, Search Engine Optimization on 12 April '02 replying to Suggestions Needed. posted by Tom Moore First thing, having a '?' in your URL will be a definitive 'show- stopper' with regards to any effective search engine performance. They will have problems spidering it. Host your info at a regular (cheap) web host with a direct domain name URL to your goods & services. Second, your 'page' is nothing but a bunch of affiliate program links. This also is a non-starter, as you will have an impossible time getting any search engine derived traffic to it. If affiliates are your 'thing', consider researching which are the most often searched for, build a site with lots of related content to one 'genre' and push it that way. Much more likely path to having it work. Hope this helps. Regards
