Does anyone have this experience?
Jan 20^th, 2010, 11:38pm

Hi Everybody!

I have put my gallery's name on Google search to find out how many links were there to it and I came about a bizarre situation or at least something I did not know before.

This URL

http://www.reminderspot.com/shopping/cb.asp?art_id=132144

has a link under Artcor7 (my gallery's name) and once we click on the link goes to a card created by another artist

although at the left top has something saying more results for Artcor7

I have found several of these links.

Is this common? Do you have the same experience with your gallery?

I would appreciate your feed back, because I am a little puzzled.

Thanks so much,
Leonilde

Never sold any directly on Lulu. I don't promote or stock them anymore. I wouldn't selfpublish ever again, but it was an adventure. I don't have a following like you do so perhaps you'll do great!

It's not clear exactly what link you clicked on as a result of your Google search. Google picks up pages for a combination of related and unrelated reasons.

The URL you have provided shows 132144 in it which is the artist id number for the GrilliesGillies thus all of this artist's cards displayed on the page.

Was this more like the actual page that you landed on when you clicked from Google results?
http://www.reminderspot.com/community/viewdetails.asp?pid=357927&page=1& cid=6688&title=Cliffs%20of%20Moher&ref=cb_card_title

The above link was found on page 5 of Google results for search term "Artcor7". On this page Artcor7 in the upper left corner and the featured card is GrilliesGillies.

Tom and Mindy,
Thank you very much for your input.

I really appreciate your wonderful collaboration.
I have no idea how did it happen, but I really did have a different experience with the link. It must have been some kind of glitch, but I feel much more comfortable after your answers. I am not at all savvy in the Internet and this forum has been quite a resource for me to navigate it.
Thank you for your support.
Leonilde
