    Yikes! That’s just brutal! I’m sure they’ve spent thousands of dollars running those very useless campaigns.

  2. Audio Bible Says:

    very good screencast.

    do you have any articles (what are the URLs) on best suggestions on how to setup the website header or web site navigation?

    thanks……………

    Hi Anthony,

    I really like the screencast concept. Great concise informative tutorial. Well done!

    I took a look at the same search and noticed the following:
    http://www.petco.com/Shop/petco_ProductList_PC_productlist_N_23+107+30+4294957007_Nav_206.aspx?cm_ven=GoogleP&cm_cat=Litter_Automatic&cm_pla=automatic%20litter%20box&cm_ite=Phrase+Ad_704377393%7C-%7C100000000000000039423

    Seems like one of those odd web gremlins hit the site during your search.

    Great tip though, no products on a search = no sales. Just like you mentioned “you have to do the basics”.

    John

    John,

    I checked this several times today to see if it was corrected. Looks like it finally was. To me that is just as valuable a lesson to learn from Petco. We know they are great listeners and they respond quickly.

    Hey Anthony:

    Your landing page suggestion for the ‘handy shopping guide’ is one of best ideas I ever heard!! I love the idea of a landing page that also educates in a targeted way, I wish I thought of this one!
