Hi, I'm Anonymous (that's my handle anyway :-D).

Congrats, your site is so good that for many search queries for audio products, Google shows your page even before the offical product page. Problem is, once a user is on your page, there is no way to the official product page. Like here:

http://www.macmusic.org/news/view.php/lang/EN/id/3177/

I'd like to see a link to "http://www.wavearts.com/Panorama5.html" on that page. But there is none.

If you would add those links regularly, your page would be even of more value to casual _and_ regular users.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! :-)

We moved from your proposal which was the case sometimes ago to the manufacturer/editor link for known websites in our database. It's way simpler for us (just a pop up away) and the direct link is sometimes not reliable. Websites do change their structures… sad.gif

You have still the manufacturer/editor website URL though the following page. Now It can change in a little while when we'll overhaul the site (it's in the workshop, bending steel, cutting wood wink.gif but I don't want to spoil the fun.

Hi, I'm sorry I don't understand you. What do you mean by "following page"? I don't comprehend - is there a subsequent page for every page and the url is there or something like this?

News which don't have a big bottom link like "more on WhatEver" have a small manufacturer link right under the title like this one:

Music Hardware > Roland

(I have not entered the link)

You follow this link to the manufacturer page in our database then you can see all the relevant software if there's any and jump to the manufacturer site. it's handy for updates as you have the direct link to the software usually. This is when it is in our database. wink.gif wink.gif
