News about Google developing its Google Product Search service turns up every now and then. But what caught my attention was the organic search results for online store products, that is, for product pages.
The thing is, a great many online stores, unfortunately, list products they don’t have and can’t even get. To attract traffic, obviously. I don’t know how this irritated traffic converts, but I think Google, guardian of clean search results, would definitely be interested in ranking such product pages properly. I don’t think there are any technical obstacles. An “Add to cart” button is easy enough to tell from the words “Out of stock”, even for a spider :)
But maybe there’s something I don’t know.
