Yeah we've tried to push this as an option too, but so far our clients are not biting on this suggestion. They like the idea.... but in addition to randomised listings too! Speaking of SEO, that was one of our concerns about randomising listings too. What impact do you think such randomised listings will have on SEO? Obviously if a term is matched for a listing page that contains a thing and when the user visits that page, the thing itself is not on in the listing, then the user will be disappointed, but will this actually result in SEO penalties?
