GoodRelations - The Web Vocabulary for E-Commerce

This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

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.

[goodrelations] Yahoo integration with Bing: Impact on GoodRelations Markup

Dear all:

Many of you have waited for a definite answer on what will happen to  
Yahoo's support of GoodRelations markup to enhance organic search  
results.

Here is Yahoo's official announcement:

    http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2010/08/api_updates_and_changes.html

In a nutshell (as expected), the free SearchMonkey development  
environment and the Yahoo BOSS API will be closed or much more  
restricted soon.

But the good thing is that despite the fundamental change to Yahoo  
search technology (now relying on Bing's main index), they kept  
fetching and storing GoodRelations markup and will continue to augment  
the rendering of your page in the organic search results, if  
GoodRelations markup is available in the page:

Quote: "Yahoo! Search results pages will continue to show enhanced  
result templates from websites’ page markup and structured data feeds  
along with Microsoft’s organic listings."

So Yahoo's support for GoodRelations has survived a very critical time  
in Yahoo's history.

Best wishes

Martin Hepp
