Thanks again. Very helpful explanation.
I’ll use analytics to track what’s going on and that way can come to a useful, dollar-and-cents-based conclusion.
I will make site #2 as similar as possible to site #1, also.

I’ll check out the GoDaddy prices – sounds like a better deal than what I was quoted.

Thanks for your reply – makes good sense.
We are still anticipating sales, so can’t answer the question with data.

What kind of disruption occurs with the redirect? It takes longer, I assume, or may look to the customer like something is wrong, perhaps?

I have found some help on this review page: https://wpcanada.ca/plugin-reviews/plugin-review-genesis-widgetized-archive/

Would appreciate comments from others who have used this plug-in.

Thanks for the input about Alexa. I will keep our paid time with them short. Would like to be far enough along on this learning curve to even think about bragging rights(!)
What else should we be paying attention to? Your best resources for learning?

Thank, and just to be sure: Alexa wanted their code in the header to “claim” our site, then in their instructions say to put it in the body for the certify process (which we pay $9.99 for a month).
Is Alexa a good thing? Thought we’d do the certify (paid) route for a few months only. Your advice?
