Buying & setting up GWP (Global Web Page)
So my wife went to the Nuskin office in Seoul yesterday and bought GWP. It took us a while to find a name that we liked and was still available. We settled on FAQ, so our Korean Nuskin page is located at: http://faq.mynuskin.com/cgi-bin/gwpweb/igwp/splash/splashInit.jsp although typing in faq.mynuskin.com is just fine.
Now as I complained about before, Nuskin, Pharmanex, and Big Palnet web sites like GWP are pretty bad for search engines. Even for humans. If you want to switch languages, there's a drop down menu in Korean. So, if you want to see our page in English you have to read Korean! How stupid is that?
It is possible to add recommended links, and I'll try putting a link to the English version of our page there. It might not be easy though. A link to our English Nuskin page has a URL like this: http://faq.mynuskin.com/cgi-bin/gwpweb/igwp/splash/gwpFrame.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1370046850.1100662382@@@@&BV_EngineID

It does not work because of the session ID. That means I can't even link to my English pages (There may be a way, and I'll try to figure it out, but my point is that Nuskin makes it very very hard).
You might also see a broken image on our Nuskin home page. Well the image has to be 100 x 130 so I went into my graphics editor and resized one, saving it as a jpeg. Then my wife tried uploading it numerous times and kept getting the "try again" message. After about an hour the image uploaded and we went to bed. Something happened overnight; the image doesn't work anymore.
Nuskin charges a lot of money for GWP, and the monthly hosting fee is way too high considering how little traffic our pages are likely to get since they will never be indexed by search engines. Considering how badly they are overcharging us for this website, you'd think the least they could do was make it easy to upload a picture and then display it properly all the time.
