Iza - I just checked and you are in the Breeder/puppy Classifieds. I think the problem may be that Pam probably looked for Iza Ackerman and not Iza Kabuska and it is listed with your kennel name Karizma.. Tish In a message dated 12/14/2011 7:17:24 P.M.

If you didn't find it, then perhaps I should get a refund ???? I guess I better check it out myself, since you didn't see my name. -----Original Message----- From: Pam Stoesser Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 6:34 PM To: izaackerman@xxxxxxxxxxxx ; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] search engine GSD I type 'German Shepherd Puppy' in Google and come up with the 2nd slot on the page. When last checked, every thing anyone mentioned for 'German Shepherd (fill in the blank)' came up in the top 4. Google has a 70% market penetration so we've concentrated on that. Bing/Yahoo has recently changed the way they index websites and I am looking at what adjustments are needed for that smaller search engine market. If you look up the word 'Webmaster' on GSDCA.org, I believe my name comes up. Bill Pfeiffer hasn't done the website for over 5 years and a lot has changed since then in the web world. I would be interested in knowing what search engine you were using. I looked to see if you were advertising on GSDCA.org's breeders pages but didn't find you. GSDCA.org gets more than 16,000 visitors per month, many of whom are looking for puppies. Many member-breeders find those ads to be useful and renew over and over.

What gives with that ? Lots of breeders listed, but not the GSDC of America. In the past, I know, that the Parent Club site came up, but it doesn�t appear so now. Anyone know anything about this ? Who is responsible for this ? I know when Bill was doing this, the Parent Club came up right away.
