Vantage has a great point. Lack of categorization can make SEs send shoppers to the same landing page and frustrate the simplicity of online shopping.

Thanks Vantage. I think people don’t realize how crucial product categorization really is. Many just throw it in a category or two without thinking it through sufficiently. That’s to their shoppers (and their own) loss.

Absolutely outstanding reading and critical for those with estores. Not only do the SEs appear to get confused with improper categories they also will end up lumping products into a single category listing vs individual product pages.

Mower is a lawn tool and because it’s electric that makes it a “power tool”. Yes, dang it! I’m right about this!

But you see, my ignorance of such things is exactly why I own a power mower. I don’t want to have to “mix” gas, change oil, change spark plugs, or any such nonsense. I went five years on my first gas mower before changing the oil. And of course, by changing the oil I mean I threw the mower away and bought an electric!

An electric lawn mower considered a power tool? Ahhhh…no.

I didn’t think there was another male more out of his element at Home Depot than myself…however, apparently there is :.)
