Hello Everyone,
The following enhancements and bug fixes have been completed today:
Google Base
We began sending Google Base a bulk upload file containing all MIM (Make It Mine) auctions. We expect that sellers should start seeing their MIM Overstock.com Auctions items in search results on the Froogle and Google websites. (depending on the search criteria used)
Auctions Headers Now Match Shoppings Headers
The Overstock.com Shopping site revamped their tabs last week. In order to remain consistent with Shoppings homepage, we updated the codes for our tabs to match those displayed on the top of Shoppings homepage.
Search Results Fixed For Terms Including Characters
When doing searches for terms which include characters such as the & symbol that should return several pages, users have only been able to see correct results on the first page. For example, when a search was done for Rock & Republic, the first page showed results for auctions including the term Rock & Republic. When trying to view the next page, it would contain results only for Rock. Now when doing a search containing characters, the correct term searches will appear in the results.
O-Tracker Watch List Corrected
Some of our users informed us that the numbers they were getting back from Sellathons O-Tracker appeared to be incorrect. When we looked into this further, we discovered that every time the same visitor viewed the item on his or her watch list, Sellathon was counting it as a unique visit. We have now changed the variable that we send to Sellathon so that the number of watches will reflect the number of unique visits.
