I've also learned a great deal from your site, blog and comments. Thank you!! Sounds like a broken record, but you are the most knowledgable seo/sem expert I've encountered...and definitely the most articulate and understandable. Again, thanks! In this post you mentioned keyword tracking and measuring results. Are there any particular methods or tools you recommend? I sometimes find myself preferring to do it by keeping a list and checking by hand (seeing is believing), but it's tedious and time consuming for multiple sites. Any suggestions? Thanks, Max Hi Dan,

After examining American Bridal and comparing it with your teachings in chapter 3 of SEO Fast Start Book, it all made sense. I would highly suggest providing a case study with your chapter 3 lesson. The technical process became clear having a production website to compare and contrast your suggestions. Viewing the source code for www.americanbridal.com, was very helpful. www.seofaststart.com has been the greatest resource for SEO techniques.

I have a content site and I'm considering using something similar to your cross-selling strategy to encourage site visitors to stick around the site longer and read more info. I just ran one your urls through the iWebTools Search Engine simulator ( http://www.iwebtool.com/spider_view )and based on that, it appears that Seeach Engines can indeed see the content in the iFrame. Hope everything continues to go well for you in your venture. All the best. Ant Hi Shirley,

We use this you may also like as a cross sell feature, not for internal linking purpose,although its probably does help for SEO purpose, but first and foremost is what would be relevant to the user, our goal is to have them add the cross sell item to the cart in addition to the page they're already looking at...a true cross sell instead of offering product substitute (that the new goal - so we have to change out some of the old you may be interested ) regarding the iframe - we use to have these related products show up in massive links on the bottom of the pages.. and they looked really ugly so we contained them into the i frame box... now... because they are in iframe, I'm not sure if we're getting any SEO value for them...Dan could probably answer this question. Again, thanks everyone for your kind words and support. hi Everyone and Ant:

I'm suspecting (like Jeff) that Shirley is using the links in the mentioned sections for internal linking and indexing purposes. I've checked the backlinks of the pages in the "You may be interested in these products:" sections and they have many internal links and the only place she appears to be doing internal linking for the product pages is in the "You may be interested in these products:" sections. Not to menioned she has really good rankings for the pages included in the "You may be interested in these products:" sections. Well I'll keep my fingers crossed that she comes round soon. Regards Ant Hi Dan,

It's in an IFRAME (that's why it scrolls) so it's not actually part of the content that a search engine sees on the page.
