No kidding! I hope Mr. James catches up to our pal Rusty and gets some answers, since he''s obviously not willing to share them voluntarily with us!Date: 6/8/2008 7:29:57 PM

Oh we got quite an education all right. Some of us saw that coming like a snake oil salesman in a covered wagon
As somebody who is new to the Price Scope forum, perhaps Randy is not aware of what a powerful advertising medium it can be... An advertising medium which can be quite beneficial in terms of promoting brand name recognition for a product. One of the challenges that many vendors face when they first begin to represent their product on Price Scope is the feeling of being completely exposed to the public, after all those of us who choose to wander the halls of this forum find ourselves living in a glass fish bowl of sorts where it becomes necessary to operate in a mode of transparency which would seem odd under normal circumstances in the business world, but which is an upcoming trend in business which tends to gain the much needed respect of the public. I encourage Randy to be as forthright as possible when representing his product on Price Scope and to answer the questions posed to him as thorough as possible.
If by chance Randy is not familiar with the marketing power of Price Scope in terms of search engine ranking, I suggest that he Google various diamond related terms to see how close to the top that Price Scope topics tend to rank. For instance, a Google search for our niche product "ideal cut diamonds" indicates that we are currently in the top position (today) for non-paid positions, followed by two other well known vendors. Price Scope is Ranked Third for "ideal cut diamonds" without paying a dime for keyword placement. I attempted to attach a screenshot of the ranking titled ps_idealcutranking.jpg to this thread and it appears to have uploaded to the server but I received an error message and don''t know how to attach pictures which have already been uploaded to the server so perhaps somebody else with more experience can attach it to this thread as a visual reference.
At present Life Gem is ranked in the Number One position for its product and they pay for keyword placement so they are ranked in the top positions for the paid advertisement positions for their product name, however if experience is an indicator, I don''t think that it will take long for this thread to find itself ranked in the top positions for "Life Gem" on Google and other search engines and at present I believe that the thread raises more doubts than answers in the minds of consumers who may happen to run across it when trying to learn more about the Life Gem Diamond Product from the internet. Today''s consumers more educated, not less. If we don''t provide them with the answers that they are looking for, they merely assume that there must be something to hide. Translucency is the key to Consumer Trust on Price Scope and the internet.
Jeez, I''m beg. to feel like his professional liason to PS.
Hey Clark,
Me too, Wink, I am eagerly awaiting updates to this thread! What an amazing discussion so far. As a consumer I do not typically think about the potentially huge repercusions of this forum for people in the trade, but this thread certainly highlights the benefits, and potenital pitfalls, of venturing into PS-land for people acutally working in the inductry. We consumers are all anonymous, but of course, you tradespeople are all identified by name! I love it!
I guess we are getting somewhere regarding Megus'' question about quantity but do u have anything to add regarding the above posed questions?

Interesting info about how lab created diamonds are grown.
Sooo, if Gemesis (who certainly is a subject matter expert in created diamonds) cannot exactly predict the size or color of a lab grown diamond, you have to wonder how those LifeGem folks are able to do so?
I mean think what a big bummer it would be if you paid thousands of dollars to wear dear old dad or precious mom, and they turned out to be a .15 ugly brown stone
You have to question how LifeGem is able to predict that each ''loved one'' produces a flawless big diamondWowee, they must have some awesome skills huhMore education that LifeGem does not pass the sniff test.
