My headaches this week, iIE6.0. and product feeds

This week has been a bit iffy to say the least with www.justsalou.co.uk.

First the increase in traffic for the new year surprised me a bit, not massive traffic, but a massive increase on what there was. A bit of tarting up around the website and a few menu changes, Opera o, Firefox ok, IE7.0 ok, I was soon told of IE6.0 and no content showing, Ahhhhhhhhhh, a day or so and this was fixed.

Next up I noticed a big increase on clicks on a couple of products, but no sales. Checking this out I notice a content with is showing one price but on click through the price rises from £39 to £50, checking anouther supplier and notice the same increase, but also notice the product completely removed from the feed. On the price issue surely the content windows should be updated the same? does not look good.

On correcting the price issues (removing them) two sales followed for that product within hours.

As a travel website, justsalou has the usual flights, hotels, car hire, transfers, it also has tickets for the local theme park. 90% of the traffic to justsalou is for either theme park tickets or transfers, the odd 1 or 2 hotel room is booked but thats it, no flights, no car hire. So its tinket time again to see if I can get traffic and clicks on the other items on the website.
