    i am new to CJ, i just launched my first CJ store www.thetoolkitshop.com using Joomla. want to hear some feedbacks from experienced cj users. I am quite excited about it.

    i have couple of questions for the cj users

    1. Will search engines index these pages?
    2. how do you promote your store?

    Your store looks nice. I made a tool shop site about 2 days ago using the same wingdings/webdings spanner and hammer ;)

    You using CJ web services?

    Nice domain too :)

    Nice site, but you should cloak url your affiliate link "Buy Now" or set it nofollow, to make it not like an affiliate site by Google spider.

    thx

    pogung177's suggestion of using nofollow is a good one.

    You might also want to change the 'onmouseover' for the links so the affiliate urls aren't so obvious.

    4 links are there in every product, there seems to be already some kind of redirection in it. the urls are like 'http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2588004-10469170?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcj.shop.com%2Fop%2F%7EROLLING_GARDEN_TOOL_CART-prod-30860272-40214858%3Fsourceid%3D23&cjsku=40214858'
    which later changes to 'http://cj.shop.com/ROLLING_GARDEN_TOOL_CART_-30860272-40214858-p!.shtml'

    thanks for the advice i will add noflow in each links. i will have to install joomla moslate for that.


    Thanks again, i am changing the CSS.

    It's a good looking store - almost makes me want to try out Joomla again.
    Good luck with it all :)

    You'd better change it again :p
    I just checked your site - it should be:
    rel="nofollow"
    Code (markup):

    Hi Marsian,

    Your site looks great. I hope it brings you many sales!

    I noticed you used the CJ catalog builder for Joomla. I'm thinking of buying this component, but would appreciate some honest insights from someone who actually used it. Can you please look at my thread here and just let me know what you think of this component?

    I would very much appreciate it!

    Congratulations! Its a pretty nice looking site. Looks like you're ahead of schedule for the holiday shoppers :D

    I wonder if you could use a little bit more color to your site? You should hold a banner or website style contest and get all the talented graphic designers here at DP to jazz it up :rolleyes:
