We’re all used to seeing online stores and affiliate sites but I was pretty impressed when I ran across ShopWiki.com! Is it a wiki? Is it a search engine? Is it both? I can really describe all it does, you’ll just have to check out some of the pages like this one for Kitchen Appliances where you’ll find a mind boggling array of links to every conceivable type of appliance.
As of today, ShopWiki links to 223,963,832 products. And this is not paid advertising either. As stated in the ShopWiki.com Overview the goal of the site ultimately is to index everything that’s available for sale online. They don’t sell anything – they help you find people with the products you want for sale. So, like a search engine, they crawl the web to index the stores they find.
In the Web 2.0 world, purely indexing items just won’t cut it so as a “Wiki” the site is also a “community”. Have a bad experience? A great experience? You can edit the Wiki yourself and put in your 2 cents. Obviously a site of this sort with so much product could be very difficult to navigate. Thankfully there are “Shopwiki.com Shopping Guides” to assist in the shopping process.
Our readers who operate online stores will recognize ShopWiki.com as a potential boon to their marketing. A site like this can’t help but get plenty of attention from major search engines. Because it’s not PAID advertising, having ShopWiki.com index your store could be a great way to get exposure that lets you “play with the big boys”. Got an online store? Check out ShopWiki.com today and help yourself out!
