dLook’s new “More information” feature for listings
During the week dLook are expecting to release their “More information” pages for all business listings to provide additional information to visitors.
This detailed page – accessible through a prominent icon within search and category listings – will include a ramp-up of business data including:
- Phone
- Fax
- Address
- Website (only available to premium listings)
- Email address
- Mobile number
As well as, and here’s the treat…
- A localised map; not a Google Maps mashup
- Company blurb
- Business trading hours
- Accepted payment types
- Qualifications/affiliations/associations
- Products and/or services
- Coupon for premium listings
Mobile accessibility is just around the bend with the launch of dlook.mobi – Dlook’s mobile search interface – expected this month; stay tuned.
I’ve updated dLook’s directory listing on Australian online business directories to include differences to other online directories; provided by Co-founder Meg Tsiamis.
Tracking Data with Server-Side Redirects; Google Analytics
Google Analytics Support sent a fantastic reply during the week to my query over how Analytics tracks traffic across 301 Permanent Redirected/302 Temporary Redirect pages (eg. http://www.michaelvisser.com and http://michaelvisser.com.au).
Support recommended to enter the same tracking code (eg. UA-692602-1) on the redirecting page as well as subsequent landing page. What needs to be established is whether Internet browsers redirect before the JavaScript call from the code can be made; it would make sense not to as browsers interpret the error code before calling for the page data.
In cases of redirects, the redirecting page becomes the landing page’s referral. For example, if a user searches for a specific keyword, such as’used books’ on Google, there will not be any referring data showing that this keyword was searched on Google. Instead, the referral will be shown as the redirecting page.

This squashes concerns over a loss of 50% of tracking data for redirected pages.
