Here at CQout, we love new emerging technologies, especially ones that work to improve the experience of our users.
Introducing microformats, the hot new trend that CQout has been eager to adopt. Microformats are small pieces of compound HTML that can be used to tag web pages with Metadata. If this seems like too much technobabble, it simply means we have improved the design of the CQout website under the hood for the benefit of search engines.
We use search engines such as Google and Yahoo! to help users find our online auctions, and these search engines are able to read and understand microformats. Search engines possessing the new knowledge of CQout auctions can then extract and display rich snippets of auction content within their search results alongside listings.
This means that whenever you search for a listing or auction within search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, among others, you will be able to see and take advantage of the rich new content that will appear alongside CQout listings.
Siamak Bashi, Managing Director at CQout, says:
"Our Buyers and Sellers are what drive CQout. That's why we need to keep ahead of the game, and adopting microformats is a great step forward.
Thanks to microformats.org, Google and Yahoo! for their great technologies.
Our goal of using microformats when working with Google and Yahoo! is to improve your user experience at CQout, demonstrating that we really do care about giving our users the best service we can."
What Does It Mean For Sellers?
The introduction of microformats benefits Sellers as well as Buyers. Search engines power the internet, driving users to web pages based on their needs. What microformats offers is an improved approach towards marketing our online auctions means that Sellers will benefit from increased exposure of their CQout listings, so directing a greater numbers of prospective buyers towards their auctions.
