Just curious Bruce, what competition did you enter and who were the judges that awarded you the No. 1 position ?
Regards Ben All About Movies Pty Ltd From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Monday, 3 March 2014 11:33 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Have you been buying from us for 16 years? Then you will remember this! Have you been buying from us for 16 years? Then you will remember this! Sometime in 1998, even though I was the #1 movie poster dealer in the world, I realized I HAD to have a website. So I hired my uncle, Eli Post, to create one, which I stupidly called "brucehershenson.com" (this would create major problems years later; see below). Here is the earliest screenshot I can find of that site, from December 12, 1998 (of course, some of the links don't work, but surprisingly, many do!). http://web.archive.org/web/19981212023407/http://www.brucehershenson.com/ <http://web.archive.org/web/19981212023407/http:/www.brucehershenson.com/> After I changed my website name from brucehershenson.com to emovieposter.com, I naturally wanted to switch brucehershenson.com to emovieposter.com. But by that time I had a zillion links all over the Internet to "brucehershenson.com" addresses. So I had all those pages re-direct to the same named emovieposter.com pages. Well, Google, in its infinitely wisdom, saw this as some kind of scam, so all pages on both sites were greatly punished in "natural search" even though I was far and away the number one vintage movie poster site! But over time, the massive content of emovieposter.com (around a million images, and a massive amount of valuable content) eventually overcame this, but still it was a sad problem for a long time. -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
