Shari,

If you scroll right down you see a link 'about us' :
http://www.bigdates-solutions.com/consumer.asp

it shows all the partners.

Corrie

 
I went to all the partners 1) BigDates 2) Birthday Reminders 3) Reminder Spot 4) DateBoxx 5) GCU & 6) Best Reminders and did a search for Holidays - Christmas to see where my mom's Holiday Cottage (painting) Card would show up.
 
On Birthday Reminders, Reminder Spot, & DateBoxx the card shows up at 1st.  However on BigDates (which it use to show up as 1st) & Best Reminders, it is no where to be found.  On GCU it shows up as 5th on the 1st page which use to be 1st on the 1st page.
 
Why are they not the same on all 6 partners?  What decides the most popular and are they displayed in consistant order on all partners or what?
 
Thanks for the help in this clarification. Huh

Hi Shari,
 
All of the sites use the same data to sort the most popular cards, but there's about a 24 hour lag in what you see on GCU and what you see on the other consumer sites.  So something that's the 5th most popular on GCU today might be 5th most popular on Birthday-Reminders tomorrow.  
 
Most popular cards use a sorting formula made up of a combination of factors like sales, clicks, number of times added to cart, rating, comments, favorited, GCU pick, and more.
 
The selections that you saw on BigDates yesterday were not up to date because we were in the process of moving the site to a new server, but the site is updated now and does match what you see on Birthday-Reminders, Reminder Spot, DateBoxx, etc.
 
We are investigating the sorting on Best Reminders right now.  This should be corrected in the next couple days.  
 
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
 
Shaun
