Google Revamps Product Search With Local Availability, Popular Products, And “Aisles” As we enter the holiday shopping season, Google is ramping up its product search efforts. As we know from research data, more than 46 percent of in-store purchases are influenced by online research. The online-research for offline purchases market is huge ($917 billion to be exact), and Google wants to be the go-to destination for holiday shopper this year. Google is expanding its Blue Dot Specials feature (which launched earlier this year on mobile search) by offering more data on whether a product is available in a nearby brick and mortar store. To help shoppers find product on the go, Google is improving its mobile shopping app (which the search giant says has 2.5 million downloads) with new search filters like “price” and “brand.” And Google has added new discovery tools for online shoppers and searchers called popular products and aisles. In terms of product search and shopping, it looks like this is a big week for the search giant.

Product searches are implicitly local; most people want to know where they can buy things near them. Google generally agrees and has just rolled out local product search in a big way (for online and mobile). It’s something of a game changer, not because of the particular implementation that Google has done but because of the fact that Google has done it. Here are the companies that preceded Google in the effort to connect online product search and offline inventory: ClarinovaGoodzerKrillionMiloNearbyNowRetailigenceShopatronShopLocal Pardon the cursory treatment here but I just off a plane.
Killer Strands Hair Clinic MyShape Womens Clothing and Fashion - Dresses, Jeans, Sweaters, Tops Yankees Declaw Tigers in Game 1 of ALDS MANHATTAN — The Yankees roared to a 9-3 win over the Detroit Tigers in the first game of the playoffs Saturday night, a day after play was suspended due to rain. The Bombers were propelled to victory at home in part by a grand slam from Robinson Cano, the team's first in the postseason in nearly 12 years, according to MLB.com. "It's not about one player; it's about the whole team," said Cano, according to the report. "But they put me in a spot that they had to pitch to me. It's good the way that came through tonight. The Yanks put up six runs in the sixth, including Cano's slam to pull ahead to an 8-1 lead. The Yankees' performance at the plate was matched by the pitching of Ivan Nova, who struck out five. "I was so excited; I could not believe it," said Nova, according to MLB.com. The win put the Yankees up 1-0 in the American League Division Series. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but it was suspended due to rain in the second inning.
Blast Open The Doors Via Facebook’s Open Graph For Local SEO This year, Facebook launched a new semantic protocol called the Open Graph, including provisions for local businesses and places. Meanwhile, Google has expanded support for other standards, including RDFa, Microformats and Microdata. As a local SEO, the question is: focus on Google or expand your efforts to embrace Facebook’s Open Graph? On the face of it (if you’ll pardon the expression), we don’t really seem to need Facebook’s Open Graph—we don’t need yet another semantic protocol for location information. Declaring and deploying a whole new protocol without some community involvement seems sort of megalomaniacal and controlling here in 2010—prompting CNET’s Caroline McCarthy to headline her article about the protocol’s announcement “Facebook F8: One graph to rule them all”—a reference to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings wherein the forces of evil sought to obtain a magic ring that would give them omnipotence over the land. First of all, Facebook’s online audience share is compelling.
