BaseOp Service - Currently in Alpha
A few of you know that I’m rolling out a service. For those of you that don’t, let me tell you a little about it.
First, it’s tentatively called BaseOp.
Secondly, since my time during the day is very limited (yes, I have a full time job), David Brown of Neo1SEO.com is going to take care of all the customer service aspects and setup contact.
Once you’ve talked to David (at 509-218-3200), he’ll have an idea of what products you’re looking to list. Those which we see the most potential with will be first in the queue (all products can sell through Base optimization, but only some will sell in mass quantities). We’ll have you place a bit of code on your product pages and on your checkout page.
We will be maintaining the feed, taking care of the scheduling the uploads, and doing all the optimization work. Your end of th deal will be logging in and validating orders which were placed from visitors through the feed. Canceled orders won’t be billed, but all others will be a percentage of the sale.
What does it mean we’re in Alpha testing? Simple : I’m testing it via a couple of websites that I have a bit more control over already, making sure the technology is working. The next stage will be a limited beta, with about 20 sites being selected. We’re still building a list of potential candidates, but we have most of the spots selected. If you’d like to be considered, call David.
The final phase will be a roll-out to more websites. We have a few people that will be learning the optimization techniques from me during the beta phase, and that will help with scaling this when the full program is released.
I should have a link next week for people to sign up to be considered as well, but for now the phone is the only option. Any questions or suggestions, let David know or email me at advertising [at] oneboxer.com.

David told me this week on Webmasterradio chat that adding your 1800 number to your company name results in a lot more clicks.
So I did, but next day nothing changed, so I uploaded one of the product file to base, and now I have two one box results for the same search phrase. I guess base tags the company name at the time of uploading the file, so old files with similar products don’t have the number displayed yet. Resulting in two onebox serps for the same company. First time I seen it like this.
Here is a link my screen shot so you can see for your self.
