Google and Comparison Shopping at marketamerica.com

Wow! What an exciting time at Market America. As a web merchandiser, I have been working to make the experience on your portal the best it can be for you and your customers. It’s been an amazing journey to see the new portal come to life! We’ve partnered with the biggest name in search – Google – to make shopping on your portal a breeze.


Now that you’re back home I hope you’ve had a chance to dive into the Google search and all the new features on the portal. We have the hot deals section (just click on the hot deals tab at the top of the page) where you can find exclusive offers for Market America customers. Don’t forget if you need to book your travel to click on our “Travel” tab powered by Travelocity (use your ma credit card to earn even more IBV!).


One of the most exciting enhancements to your portal is comparison shopping. No more going from site to site to find the best deal, when the product is sold at marketamerica.com by more than one store – we tell you the best price! Simply use the Google search on marketamerica.com and you will find everything you can possibly imagine – ALL ON YOUR PORTAL!


Not to forget, customer reviews are now available on marketamerica.com for Market America products. There’s no better way to sell a product than to let it sell itself, so be sure to use the customer review area to let everyone know how wonderful our products are.

There are only more great things to come, so I better get back to it!


Happy shopping!
Misty

At convention we were shown how when you type in "health and nutrition products" on google, we came up first. I tried it when I got home and was so excited that it worked!! I have since tried it again (today being the most recent time) and we are not even on the first 10 pages. Any reason for this? Was it sort of a convention gimmick to get us excited about when it becomes a reality? I have a little egg on my face from telling people to try it and have it not be true.

We are all ready to fire up after our convention, so hurry up !!

High Misty Jones! The Google Product search is wonderful, and a great way to save money. I was in the market for a new wireless router for my home-office, and used the search to find a top notch router (Netgear WNR834Bv2 RangeMax)that was refurbished, and sold by TigerDirect.com. I got it for less than half price, and it arrived via UPS in just 2 days with online tracking. I had only paid for the standard 3-5 business day mail feature. It works great, and I can't wait to tell friends how to save money using our Google Search Engine. Spread The News. Shopping at our Ultimate Destination is a Smart Choice.

Anonymous: Due to the new category restructure, we've switched from old URL's to new URL's (website addresses for individual pages) for our category and product details pages. We've lost some rankings when we dropped the old URL's to make room for the new ones, unfortunately, it included the old category page for Health & Nutrition. Google took about a week after the launch of the new left navigation to "realize" our old page that ranked well no longer exists. My team's currently working on SEO efforts for our new category structure and product details pages.

As for "Health & Nutrition Products" in Google, I'm currently working on creating some pages just dedicated to that, please be patient with us and check back in 2-3 weeks.

Thanks,

Where can you find the customer reviews? I tried looking on the page and couldn't find it. I tried searching and that only gave me products. Could you make it a little bit more prominet?
