Merchant Categories for OGEBlog?
Quick post to pose a question for ya’ll. If there actually is a ‘ya’ll’ out there I’ll be thrilled. Even if you’re our sole reader, please…let us know what you think (Email info~at~oge-inc.com or leave a comment on this post).
Should we include merchant categories on the OGEBlog? Merchant promotions, featured product groups (check out Fleece Jackets for example) and their related outdoor industry news are just a few themes that we could tag for one of the OGE Merchants (60+).
In fact I’m going to go ahead and post a killer eBags.com coupon for the rest of March next and build the first merchant category. So that’s that!

While categories may not do much for your RSS crowd, it couldn’t hurt to add them in. I think people just want to be able to find what they’re looking for as quickly as possible.

Alex, Thanks for your comment. I went ahead and started adding categories for merchants. I did read that a lot of the 2.0 sites use WP categories as default tags so it can’t hurt to have popular merchant brand names as tags. Nice blog BTW! OGE
