Thread: Sugestive Selling - How to set up Information Architecture?

Ok, although i am still tring to get the site up. I am looking already at the site and what it could need.

On suggestive selling, Does anyone have any experience in setting up the information architecture within a site that allows and internal search or code pull things related to a product and serve it in the cart? As I did some google searching which wasnt yeilding very good results I did pop by information tagging.

So, should I look into product tags to serve relevant products? Isn't this how youtube serves relevant videos when you are watching something?

Jon, thank you for linking that (odd TFLTM.com is now on their site, i guess they serve the incoming links... pretty cool) I am going to research recommendation engines tonight and report back.

Two things quickly noted -

#1 I thought Strands was a pay for service... but i just downloaded the OSC API.... so i guess its free? It does seem to go where i want it in the shopping cart section though.



#2 I wonder how possible it would be to serve up ads on image based systems like facebook and myspace, and incorporate a system like this that serves relevant products to a page rather than bidding or searching the keyword. It would almost be dynamic.... Does that make sense?
