PICKS API WHICH FACILITATES DYNAMICALLY INJECTING CONTENT ONTO A WEB PAGE FOR SEARCH ENGINES

摘要

A system and method are disclosed automating the provision of social media product recommendations in an electronic commerce environment. A search engine submits a request for product-related content, such as a product page, to a merchant web server. In turn, the merchant web server submits a server-side request to a search engine optimization (SEO) application programming interface (API) for processing. In response, the SEO API returns Picks markup content that is associated with the requested product-related content. The merchant web server then combines the requested product-related content with the returned Picks markup content to generate a product page. The product page, which includes the dynamically injected Picks markup content, is then returned to the search engine where it is indexed.
