More Thomas Register bashing
Now that I'm aware of how TR handles linking to their client's sites, I've found another problem. Perusing their Internet marketing book they gave me at lunch, I found this call-out-box :
Internet Users Bookmark Suppliers
57.3% surveyed said: "After finding a supplier at ThomasRegister.com, I often bookmark the site."
But if the TR is framing the supplier site, the user isn't actually bookmarking the site they found, but the TR frame page. Of course, as a user, I hate framed pages for this exact problem. How do I escape the frame so I can bookmark the found site?
And as a side note, I nearly had a heart attack when I used the number one search term (according to my stats) for my product line when I searched on thomasregister.com. The major category for my products use a different term in TR, so it didn't come up. I thought...what happened, is the TR database screwed up? TR, of course, has many redundant category names, so one that sounded appropriate with just two listings showed up in my results. Now the IQS postcard makes even more sense.
