hProduct parsers and crawlers, rejoice — there is an even better reason to use bby.com shop URLs… if you knew what they were. A while back, a forward-thinking gentleman had the insight to put these human-readable URLs on the site, which deliver a result set of products, based on term. Now that an experimental version of hProduct has made it out to the site on some pages, it could be a nice asset for people to use.
In simple terms, a query looks like this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/shop/term
Some examples:
http://www.bestbuy.com/shop/cartman
http://www.bestbuy.com/shop/eee
More complex example with additional search parameters:
http://www.bestbuy.com/shop/tv+samsung+1080p
FWIW - the Firefox add-on at giftag.com sniffs hproduct
