B2B Website Marketing

How business-to-business companies turn a corporate website into a working part of the sales process rather than a brochure.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

B2B website marketing is the work of getting the right businesses to a corporate website and arranging that site so the people inside those businesses can evaluate you and act. Two neighbouring disciplines get confused with it. Digital marketing is the larger category, and much of it never touches your site: a lead form completed inside LinkedIn, a placement in a trade newsletter. Web design is the craft of making pages.

Website Marketing

The full discipline of marketing a website: getting the right visitors to it, and getting them to act once they arrive.

• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

Website marketing is everything done to get the right visitors to a website and to get them to act once they arrive. That website marketing definition is deliberately narrow at both ends: it excludes work whose destination is not your site, and it excludes the product and pricing decisions that determine whether anyone wants what you sell. Three things are routinely mistaken for it. Digital marketing is the wider field — a lead form completed inside LinkedIn, a podcast sponsorship, a call from a map listing.

B2B Marketing Strategy

How a B2B marketing strategy is actually constructed — from segment definition and positioning to channel selection and budget.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_strategy

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

A marketing strategy is a small set of decisions that constrain everything the team does afterwards: which businesses you are trying to win, which you will decline, what you will claim about yourself, and which activities you have chosen not to fund. The campaign calendar, the channel mix, and the content plan are execution that follows from those decisions.

The B2B Marketing Funnel

What the B2B marketing funnel models, where the metaphor breaks down, and how to use it without deceiving yourself.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchase_funnel

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

The marketing funnel is a population model. It describes a set of potential buyers narrowing as they pass through stages, and its real content is the conversion rate between one stage and the next. It is a counting device with a shape. It gets confused with three other things. It is not a description of how an individual buyer thinks; nobody moves cleanly from awareness to consideration to purchase. It is not a process, though sales stages are usually bolted onto it.

The B2B Sales Cycle

The stages a business-to-business purchase moves through, why it takes as long as it does, and what marketing owes each stage.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_process_engineering

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

The B2B sales cycle is the elapsed time and the sequence of stages between a buying organisation's first qualified engagement and a signed contract. Measured, it is a duration; described, it is a set of stages. Both senses are in common use, which is the first source of confusion. Three things get mistaken for it. The sales process is what your team does — the internal playbook of steps, criteria, and exit conditions. The buying process is what the customer's organisation does, most of which you never see.

B2B Brand Strategy

Why brand matters in B2B even when the buying committee insists it is being rational, and how to build one without a consumer budget.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

A brand strategy decides what you want to be remembered for, by whom, and in connection with which buying situations. It is a set of choices about memory: which problems your name should surface for, which claims you will repeat until they stick, and which visual and verbal assets will be used consistently enough to become recognisable.

Keyword Research & Keyword Phrases

How to find the keyword phrases a business audience actually uses — and why the highest-volume terms are usually the wrong target.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyword_research

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

Keyword research is the work of finding the words a market uses for a problem, a product and a purchase, then deciding which of them justify a page. The keyword phrases themselves are the visible output; the valuable part is the map of who says what, and why. It gets confused with two other activities. The first is exporting a tool's suggestions and sorting by volume, which produces a list rather than research. The second is the counting exercises — keyword density, exact-phrase repetition — that stopped describing how search works years ago.

B2B Website Design

What separates a B2B website design that supports a long sales cycle from one that merely wins design awards.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_design

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

B2B website design is the arrangement of pages, words, and evidence so that several people with different jobs can each get what they need from one site and then agree with one another. That is a different craft from visual identity, and different again from information architecture, which is covered under B2B website architecture. The confusion worth clearing first is between design and decoration.

B2B Website Architecture

How the structure of a corporate website determines what search engines can find and what buyers can navigate.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_architecture

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

Arguments about site structure go wrong because three separate things share the word. Information architecture is how content is grouped, labelled, and related — the conceptual model of what exists and what belongs with what. Navigation is the subset of that model exposed as menus, hubs, breadcrumbs, and in-page links. It is a presentation of the architecture, not the architecture itself, and can change without restructuring anything. URL structure is the set of addresses.

B2B Website Content Strategy

Deciding what a corporate website should publish, in what depth, and how to stop producing content nobody in the market needs.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

Content strategy is the set of decisions that determine what a website publishes: which questions this company is the best available source on, what depth each deserves, who is qualified to write them, what the site refuses to publish, who reviews what already exists, and when a page is retired. Every one of those decisions has to be made by someone and defended. A content calendar is a production schedule. It answers when a thing will be published and by whom. It never answers whether the thing should exist.

B2B Website Migration

Why website and domain migrations destroy search equity when they go wrong, and the sequence that protects it when they go right.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

A website migration is any change that alters the URLs a search engine has indexed, the infrastructure serving them, or the identity of the site as search engines understand it. That definition covers projects with almost nothing in common.

Website Privacy Policies

What a corporate website's privacy policy has to account for once the site runs forms, analytics, advertising, and visitor tracking.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy

Relations:

• PART_OF → Strategy & Foundations
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

A website privacy policy is a public, factual account of what personal information the site collects, why, who receives it, how long it is kept, and what rights the people described in it can exercise. It is not a terms of use document, which is a contract with the visitor; not a cookie banner, which is a consent mechanism; and not a data processing agreement, which is a contract between organisations. Copying a policy from a competitor produces a document describing their vendors, their retention periods and their tag stack.

B2B SEO

Search engine optimization for a business audience, where volumes are small, intent is specialised, and the buying committee is plural.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

B2B SEO is the practice of earning organic search visibility among people buying on behalf of an employer. The mechanics are the ordinary ones: a page has to be reachable by a crawler, held in an index, and judged the best answer to a query. What changes is the shape of the demand. A consumer category can generate hundreds of thousands of searches a month. A category like industrial process instrumentation or claims-adjudication software may have a worldwide audience of a few thousand qualified people, a few hundred of them looking this quarter.

Search Engine Marketing

Paid and organic search treated as one discipline — how corporate marketers use both to occupy the results a buyer actually sees.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

Search engine marketing is the work of acquiring visibility on search results pages, by paid and organic means together. The term arrived as an umbrella: everything a company did to appear in a search engine. Through the 2000s, as pay-per-click advertising grew into an industry with its own platforms and job titles, SEM drifted in trade usage toward meaning paid search alone, with SEO cast as a separate sibling.

Paid Search & Sponsored Listings

How sponsored listings work, what advertisers are really bidding on, and why high-intent B2B clicks cost what they cost.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-per-click

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

A sponsored listing is an advertisement on a search engine results page, labelled as such, and won at auction rather than earned through ranking. The advertiser picks keywords, sets a bid or a target, and pays on the click. Paid search advertising is the practice; sponsored listings are the units the buyer sees. Two confusions matter. The first is with organic search: no advertising spend buys a position in the unpaid results, and no search engine optimisation affects the auction. They are separate systems sharing a page.

Paid Search & Sponsored Listings | Corporate Website Marketing — published by CorporateWebsiteMarketing.com

Search Engine Listings

The listing itself — title, description, structured data, and the AI-generated summaries now sitting above all of it.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

A search engine listing is the block a search engine builds to represent your page on a results page. On Google it normally consists of a title link, a snippet of descriptive text, the site name with a breadcrumb trail in place of the raw URL, sometimes sitelinks or an image, and — where markup and eligibility allow — a rich result element such as a review rating or an event date. Above all of it there may now sit a generated summary citing sources of its own. Two misunderstandings recur.

B2B Content Marketing

Content marketing aimed at professional buyers, where the job is to be genuinely useful rather than merely present.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_marketing

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

B2B content marketing is publishing material that helps a professional buyer do part of their job — diagnose a problem, compare approaches, size a project, defend a decision internally — with the commercial expectation that the company doing the helping gets considered when the buyer acts. Three other things get filed under the same heading and behave nothing like it. Blogging is a publishing format, not a strategy. A blog can run for years without a post that helps anyone buy anything. SEO content is material shaped around a query.

B2B Inbound Marketing

The inbound model applied to B2B — earning the enquiry instead of interrupting for it, and where the model quietly fails.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness

Inbound marketing describes a programme built so that buyers find you while they are looking, rather than being interrupted while they are not. The term is widely credited to HubSpot's co-founders, Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah, who used it in the mid-2000s to name a specific contrast: a company blog, search visibility and social distribution, set against cold calling, rented lists, print advertising and trade-show badge scans. What it originally described was narrow and concrete — publish, be indexed, be found, convert.

B2B Social Media Marketing

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media_marketing

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

B2B social media marketing is three activities usually budgeted as one. There is organic publishing from brand-owned accounts. There is paid distribution, which shares almost nothing operationally with the organic work. And there is what the company's own employees and executives post under their own names, which has the most reach and the least management attention. Social media for B2B is routinely confused with its consumer counterpart, and the differences are not cosmetic. The addressable market is small enough to count.

LinkedIn Marketing for B2B

LinkedIn is where most B2B professional targeting happens — and where most B2B budgets are wasted. The difference is the offer.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

LinkedIn marketing covers two things that share a logo and almost nothing else: organic presence — a Company Page, and posts from the personal profiles of the people who work there — and advertising bought through Campaign Manager, whose distinguishing feature is targeting by professional attributes that no other large platform sells. Both are routinely confused with a third activity.

B2B Video Marketing

Video on a corporate website — product explanation, customer evidence, and the video results now occupying search pages.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

Website marketing videos are recordings placed on your own pages to explain, demonstrate or evidence something a buyer must understand before they can proceed. That is narrower than the industry's usual definition, and the narrowness is deliberate, because three adjacent things get budgeted as if they were the same activity. The brand film — drone footage, staff laughing in a corridor, a strapline at the end. It is an internal morale product and answers no question a buyer has.

B2B Digital PR

Earned media as a marketing channel: how coverage in trade press and industry publications compounds into search visibility.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_relations

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

B2B digital PR is the practice of earning coverage and citation in online publications your buyers read, by producing material a journalist has an independent reason to publish. It overlaps with two neighbouring disciplines and is routinely confused with both. Traditional PR is broader and older: press relations, announcements, spokesperson preparation, crisis handling, analyst and investor communication. Its measures are reputational, and its channels include print and broadcast.

B2B Retargeting

Advertising to people who already visited — the channel with the most flattering reported numbers and the least understood lift.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_retargeting

Relations:

• PART_OF → Reach & Awareness
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

Retargeting shows advertisements to people who have already interacted with you — visited the site, watched a video, opened a form, attended an event. Google calls the same practice remarketing; in B2B the words are used interchangeably. The audience is defined by past behaviour rather than by attributes, which is the distinction from every other kind of targeting. It gets confused with three neighbouring things. It is not account-based advertising: targeting a named list of companies reaches people who have never heard of you, which is prospecting.

B2B Lead Generation

Generating business sales leads from a corporate website, and the definitions that decide whether those leads are worth anything.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

A lead is a person who has taken an action that gives you permission to contact them about a commercial matter. That is the whole definition. Score, grade, stage and temperature are interpretations your organisation adds, and the interpretation is where the arguments start. Lead is the most abused word in business-to-business marketing. It is used interchangeably for a newsletter subscriber, a badge scan, a whitepaper download, an inbound enquiry with a stated budget, and a name bought from a data broker.

Account-Based Marketing

Treating named accounts as the unit of marketing instead of individual leads — what it requires, and when it is overkill.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Account-based_marketing

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

Account-based marketing treats a defined list of named companies as the market, rather than treating individuals as leads to be collected. The account is the unit of targeting, of measurement and of the plan; it may generate no leads for a year and still be progressing. The term was introduced and named by ITSMA, the Information Technology Services Marketing Association, in 2003. Bev Burgess, then head of ITSMA's European division, is the person most commonly credited with coining it.

B2B Email Marketing

Email remains the highest-leverage owned channel in B2B — and the one most easily destroyed by treating a list as an audience.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

Email marketing is the practice of sending commercial or editorial messages to a list of addresses you hold, under a lawful basis you can document, from infrastructure you control. That last clause separates it from every other channel: a social following, a search ranking and an advertising audience are all rented, and your access to them is revocable without notice. Three things are routinely confused with it. Marketing automation is software that sends email, not a decision about what to send.

B2B Webinars

Webinars as a working B2B channel: what makes people register, what makes them attend, and what the recording is really for.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

A webinar is a scheduled, single-session presentation delivered online, gated behind a registration form, and preserved as a recording that continues to be watched afterwards. Those three components are the product. The presentation is why people register, the form is the commercial mechanism, and the recording is usually where most of the value ends up. A virtual event is a different product: multiple sessions, session-level rather than event-level attendance, different registration behaviour and a materially different cost structure.

B2B Marketing Automation

The platform layer that routes, scores, and follows up — and the reason most implementations underperform the brochure.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_automation

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Demand Generation

B2B marketing automation is software that captures form submissions, records what a known contact does on the website and in email, applies rules to that behaviour, and hands records to a CRM with a score attached. Marketo, HubSpot, Salesforce Account Engagement (formerly Pardot), Eloqua and ActiveCampaign all sit in this category. Underneath the feature lists they do four things. A contact database holding behavioural history against a person, not an address on a list. A form and landing page layer that writes into it.

B2B Landing Pages

The page a campaign actually lands on: what it must contain, what it must leave out, and how to test it honestly.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_page

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

A landing page in the campaign sense is a page built for one offer and one action, reached by traffic you sent there deliberately. That last clause carries the weight: you know the source, you know the promise made before the click, and you control everything the visitor sees after it. Two other things get called landing pages and are not. The first is any entry page in analytics — GA4 reports a landing page for every session, so your homepage qualifies.

B2B Lead Capture Forms

Form length, field choice, and the trade between volume and qualification — decided with data instead of opinion.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

A lead capture form is a transaction. The visitor gives you information and permission to contact them; you give them something they want. Every field you add raises the price you charge and, if the field is a useful one, raises the quality of what you receive. That trade is the whole subject. It is routinely confused with a contact page — which serves people who have already decided to talk to you, and should be blunt — and with a content gate, which raises the separate question of whether the content is worth the price.

On-Page Website Optimization

Optimizing an individual page for both search engines and the person reading it — including how many keywords one page can carry.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

On-page optimisation is everything inside a single page that you control and that affects how the page is understood and acted on: the title element, the headings, the opening paragraph, the body copy, the internal links pointing in and out, the images and their alt text, the URL, and any structured data. It is bounded by two neighbouring disciplines. Off-page covers links and mentions you do not own. Technical covers crawling, rendering, indexing and speed, which are site-wide properties a single page inherits. It is routinely confused with both.

Conversion Rate Optimization

Systematically improving the share of visitors who act — and why most B2B sites do not have the traffic to run the tests they run.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_rate_optimization

Relations:

• PART_OF → Capture & Conversion
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

Conversion rate is the number of visitors who complete a defined action divided by the number who could have, over a stated window. Conversion rate optimisation is the practice of raising that proportion deliberately, using research and controlled comparison rather than opinion. Three things are load-bearing: the action is defined in advance, the denominator is stated, and the improvement is demonstrated rather than assumed.

B2B Marketing Analytics

Measuring B2B marketing when the cycle is long, the committee is plural, and the revenue lands in a different quarter.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_analytics

Relations:

• PART_OF → Measurement & Optimization
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

B2B marketing analytics is the collection and interpretation of behavioural, campaign and revenue data about business buyers, in order to change what the programme does next. That second clause is the discipline. A report nobody acts on is bookkeeping with charts. The test most reporting fails is easy to apply and uncomfortable to run. For every recurring number in the monthly pack, name the decision it informs and the level at which that decision changes.

B2B Website Visitor Tracking

Identifying the companies behind anonymous website visits — how it works, how accurate it is, and what it obliges you to disclose.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Measurement & Optimization
• PART_OF → Website & Conversion

B2B website visitor tracking, in its mainstream form, matches the public IP address of an anonymous visit to an organisation, then joins that organisation to a firmographic record so a dashboard can report that a named company viewed particular pages. It is account-level identification. Nothing in the mechanism identifies a person. That distinction matters more than anything else here, because two different products are sold under overlapping names. Account-level identification infers an organisation from network data.

Marketing Reports & Dashboards

Building marketing reports an executive audience can act on, and retiring the metrics that only ever flattered the team.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Measurement & Optimization

Marketing reports exist to move a decision from opinion to evidence. That purpose sets the format, the frequency and the contents, and it is why a single marketing dashboard rarely works: different decisions need different numbers at different intervals. Separate two kinds of metric first, because most packs mix them without labelling. An activity metric describes what the team did: emails sent, posts published, campaigns launched, impressions bought.

A domain name registration is a contractual right to use a name for a term, held against a registrar under a registration agreement that incorporates ICANN policy. The party named in that registration as the registrant — the Registered Name Holder — is the party with control. Registries and registrars act on instructions authenticated against the registrant account. They do not act on evidence of who funded the purchase. Three things that feel like ownership are not: Paying the invoice. The billing contact on a registration confers no control at all.

Every image on a company website is either licensed, created in-house under a documented arrangement, or an open exposure. Copyright attaches automatically on fixation — 17 U.S.C. 102(a) requires no notice or registration for the right to exist — and the right a web page engages is public display under 17 U.S.C. 106. A stock purchase is a licence, not a sale of the copyright.

Copyright in a work vests initially in its author. That is what 17 U.S.C. 201(a) says, and nothing in the Copyright Act makes payment a transfer. A company that engaged a firm, approved every design and paid every invoice may still not own the code and design files it paid for. The point tends to surface at inconvenient moments: diligence on a sale, a migration to a new agency, or a former developer taking a position on what the client may do with the site. The routes here are ordinary.

Marketing & SEO Agency Contracts

Deliverables, guarantees, account ownership, and what a company keeps when the engagement ends.

A marketing or SEO agency contract allocates three things: services, control of accounts, and control of data. Companies negotiate the first and skim the other two, and the disputes are almost entirely about the other two. Services are comparatively easy to specify and easy to replace. A campaign that underperforms is a commercial disappointment.

These disputes turn on a distinction most commentary collapses. Buying a competitor's brand name as a keyword and putting that brand name into your advertisement are different acts, treated differently by the platforms and analysed differently in law. The keyword purchase uses the mark as a targeting instruction inside the advertising system, and it is never displayed.

A company facing a domain name that trades on its brand has two established routes.

The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, at 15 U.S.C. 1125(d), is a federal cause of action decided by a court. They are genuinely different instruments. Different elements have to be proved, they reach different conduct, and they award different things.

Website copying arrives in four recognisable shapes, and they call for different responses. The first is wholesale duplication: a site mirrored page for page on an offshore host, sometimes with the company name and logo intact. The second is scraped structured data — part numbers, specifications, prices — republished on an aggregator or marketplace. The third is a competitor lifting service-page copy, occasionally verbatim, more often reworded around the same structure.

The definitional provision, 42 U.S.C. 12181(7), lists twelve categories of private entity treated as public accommodations, every one framed in terms of a place. The statute does not mention websites; it was enacted in 1990.

Tracking, Pixels & Privacy Claims

Session replay, advertising pixels, and chat widgets, and the wiretap-style theories being brought against the companies that deploy them.

• PART_OF → Website Legal Issues

The legal argument is built entirely on technical facts. A typical corporate marketing site loads third-party JavaScript from more sources than anyone inside the company can name. Advertising pixels — Meta, Google Ads and GA4, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, Microsoft UET — fire on page load and on conversion events. Session-replay scripts record mouse movement, scrolling, keystrokes and form-field entry, reconstructing the visit as something close to a video. A chat widget passes the conversation to a vendor, which may pass it on again to a model provider.

Advertising Claims & Disclosures

Substantiation, testimonials, superiority claims, and the competitor lawsuit that is usually the real risk in B2B.

Section 5 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45, prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The analysis asks whether a representation, omission or practice is likely to mislead a consumer acting reasonably, and whether it is material to a purchase decision. It reaches express and implied claims and is assessed on the net impression of the whole page, so a footer disclaimer does not cure a false headline. "Consumer" is not limited to individuals buying for personal use, and the marketing site is not outside the sales process.

Are Your Terms of Use Enforceable?

Clickwrap, browsewrap, and why the terms most companies publish would not bind anyone.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Website Legal Issues

Online terms are contracts, judged under ordinary state contract law rather than any special internet doctrine. Two elements are examined: reasonably conspicuous notice that the terms exist, and an unambiguous manifestation of assent to them. Both have to be present. Notice without assent fails; assent without notice fails. Most corporate marketing sites publish terms of use as a footer link and nothing more. Nobody was shown them, nobody agreed to them, and no record exists of either.

A corporate website produces a continuous record of what it did and what visitors did on it, spread across systems owned by different teams and companies. The set that turns up in disputes is consistent: analytics data at event and user level; server, CDN and firewall access logs; advertising account data, including change history, ad copy versions and disapproval notices; Search Console performance data; CMS revision history and permission changes; tag manager container versions; consent platform configuration and records; form submissions and chat

Websites & Domains in M&A

What diligence should ask about a target's website, domain portfolio, and the licences buried inside both.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Website Legal Issues

A target's website is not one asset. It is a domain portfolio held under registrar agreements, a set of third-party platform accounts governed by platform terms, a code base assembled largely from components the target does not own, licensed images and fonts, and contracts with agencies and developers that may or may not have transferred anything. Each of those sits with a different counterparty and moves on different terms.
