Yahoo's version of Froogle - Yahoo! Product Search and Yahooseeker/1.0


After I inadvertantly made a World exclusive on Webmaster World http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum11/2186.htm I thought I'd best mention it here where if I'd realised what it was, I'd have kept the information here.

Yahoo! Product search is an attempt to make product comparison available on Yahoo making it a mighty contender to Froogle, Kelkoo, Pricerunner and Dealtime to mention a few. You can see the beta test here: http://products.yahoo.com/

The reason I spotted it is that I was looking for more robots to put in BBClone - PHP web counter and spotted the thread. A quick search in peoples logs found
thise: IP 216.109.126.143 and reverse DNS sh19.rmi.shop.dcn.yahoo.com YahooSeeker/1.0(Mozilla4.0;MSIE5.5;http://search.yahoo.com/yahooseeker.html)

So the interesting thing is that they also have a crawler to pick up information from sites, whether this is concentrated on the ones giving the feeds or something else I'm not sure we'll just have to see.
