Shop Wiki

I am very intrigued by the Shop Wiki concept; the idea of a user editable shopping engine seems like a great idea. But from an SEO point of view, it looks like there is a lot to be had from this concept. It’s too hard to get to products from a spiders point of view, since most of them have a difficult time searching for products. This could be without a doubt a great addition to the shopping community sites out there, such as Epinions.com, Pricegrabber.com and others.

A few of the features that I really like:

User submitted video reviews, how cool is that?

Crawler based updated content. Still needs work, it missed my own darts website. This site is friendlier than the average for crawling.

What it needs in my opinion?
User Forum
Blog – Tell us more…

On the SEO side, only 125 links to this site. Get out there and do some PR!

Just my 2 cents.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Aaron Shear
Location: San Francisco, California, United States

I have been in the search industry since the late 90’s, no not 10-20 years. My career started early in the search Day’s at Inktomi, where I supported large search portals. For example, MSN, AOL, iWon, Hotbot, CNet too name a few. After Inktomi I became a freelance consultant. I consulted for a few of the Top SEO’s around 2002 time frame; obviously the market has changed since then. After consulting I joined a small SEO firm called SEO Inc as the CTO. At SEO Inc. I successfully optimized some of the largest clients including IGN, Sony, VEGAS.com, Beaches and Sandals Resorts to name a few. Even though SEO Inc was a ton of fun, I still wanted the ultimate SEO challenge. I moved on as the global head of SEO for Shopping.com an eBay company. This challenge was an interesting one, how do I optimize a site with 50 million products? Every month I helped the business grow by leaps and bounds. I am now consulting for mostly enterprise e-commerce clients. Yes there is more too me than this profile shows, but you will just have to ask.
