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

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,
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!
