How to hurt Luxottica?

Why does the top 10 not have Oakley , Ray-Ban, J&J and many other better rated sites!

Second I don't think any company is going to pay for common site lures. Like endless text and tons of links.

My 12 year old nephew had a site and did just that, He got about 1000 hits a day and about 50 e-mails. He also got awards for his page and it was just a bunch of links to games and radio stations
His parents made him take the site down because he was getting nasty e-mails from people who could tell it was a little kids site!

Mike..............thank you for your smart and belitteling comments of comparing to your 12 year nephew.

I have set up an optical listing of websites which now has some 420 sites listed. I have done the work without your help................my own time and sweat. It is always easy to critizise others.

Obviously this page seemingly the only one and regularly updated page sees a lot of visitors.........from the optical domaine...........others would not be interested in such a page.

If you would have followed the progress of the site you have seen an Oakley being in the no 1 rank including the others you mention. However these sites are not purely optical and are selling sporting goods. shoes, handbags and all other sort of things. Therefore I set up a special category for sunglass manufacturers were they are all listed and they are on top in that category..

You might not agree with my system of doing it.................just too bad..........

I have watched the SAFILO site creep from about the 25th position into the top ten overtaking the LUXottica site including my own. But I am not showing any negative frustration as your postings on this subject seem to be doing.

Some of our patients have been asking about Spectera as well. After talking with someone who works for a major national company and had VSP, it seems that VSP has raised its premiums so we may be seeing a natural move away from VSP into other insurance providers. Unfortunately, Spectera (and Davis) make me cringe.

I think someone mentioned Safilo's web traffic - that might be because Safilo has an online catalogue and online ordering, so does Marchon.

That is probably correct...............having the website as a catalogue saves time for everybody, the supplier as well as the customer. I can also be updated at any time, and is transmitted instantly onto customers desk.

My big fear is the inevitable price war that's going to go on between VSP and Eyemed, with my rear being caught in the middle. I just can't wait!

"Specterrible" LOL!
