GoodRelations is a standardized vocabulary for product, price, and company data that can (1) be embedded into existing static and dynamic Web pages and that (2) can be processed by other computers. This increases the visibility of your products and services in the latest generation of search engines, recommender systems, and other novel applications.

-- apologies for resending, the original message was not delivered -- Dear all: FYI - see attachments. We are currently in contact with Yahoo trying to find out if it is just a matter of time until our showcase page at http://www.heppnetz.de/searchmonkey/product.html will appear in the Yahoo results with price and product picture - or whether there are additional technical problems to be mastered. In general, it will likely help if you a) register your sites in the Yahoo Site Explorer at https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ b) authenticate your page by the respective procedure requested by Yahoo (either uploading a special file or inserting special markup provided by Yahoo).

Cached Data Does Not Match The data stored in the Yahoo! Search Index doesn't match the data just retrieved from the live version. This is normal if you just changed your page — simply wait for us to recrawl and reindex your page." So are you sure that " the cache is now in sync"? If so, why are the price and product image not shown in the www.yahoo.com search results? I can see only the review meta-data, but not the price etc. By the way - if that helps: I noticed that the sub-site had not been properly authenticated in the Yahoo Site Explorer, but that is now fixed. Do pages have to be properly authenticated via the standard Yahoo techniques for their meta-data to be displayed in the search results? Best wishes Martin > > Best, > Evan Goer > Yahoo!
