Hi I have read about google cookies and well they keep track of us. I have a shopping site for floorings and will these benifit me? Apparently the cookie can be set for a number of days to expire and this enables tracking in applications like google analytics' to be more precise - How it can be set to 90 days? Some marketing companies want the cookie to never expire and therefore get a better deal when charging clients to place PPC ads for them - but I have no experience with any of this? Secondly, i have been using hitslink for my other sites to track the traffic but it doesn't provide the login name of the user. Now the DNN cms for the shopping cart will keep track of the user login but for that it also makes the links complex and inconsistent. If I turn off this feature, the links become simpler and can be made more consistant which is good. If this is doen I need a third part program that tracks the traffic on the shopping cart. Which is the best option. regards Salman
You can't do anything with the cookies google sets. It is possible to track visitors to your site using some analytics software or a hit counter. Regarding your CMS you should make sure the URL's are not displaying session ID's to the search engines.
thanks. Well the cms is a free share ware in DNN and I don't know how am I going to see if it is sharing sessions with search engines . any tips on that? thanks for the reply
Go to google and search for site:www.yoursite.com and see if any of the indexed pages have session id's in the url.
Hi i was using dnn version3. it was very slow and the home page was not properly indexed. i did a 301 redirect. now the new main page is not yet indexed. I don't know what should i do. Perhaps go to google and submit a sitemap with new links and the main page to speed up things a bit. Thanks for the tip regards salman
