A common issue with publishing product information on multiple websites from the same record on the open Hive blockchain is that this content will be exactly the same across various sites, and search engines generally do not favor duplicated content. Waivio uses a system of canonical links on all hosted sites, giving credit to the original source of content, whether it's a user post, profile, or an object.
However, there is now an interesting alternative.
Introducing Descriptions Bot
One product on the Hive blockchain can actually have multiple names, titles, descriptions, and other fields. In the case of an image gallery, it may show multiple images at the same time, while for a description field, only one version will be used—the one that collected the most Approve votes. This will be the version of the description that appears on Waivio and other hosted websites.
However, the website owner's vote holds decisive power within the information space of their own website. If the owner approves a different version of the product description, that version will be displayed on their website, even if another description was selected as the overall winner in the general consensus.
This means the same product can be presented differently on Waivio and the hosted site, making it possible to present to users and search engines unique versions of the same product.
Descriptions Bot can automatically rewrite descriptions for all products referenced in a chain of lists, starting from the top list and including all other embedded lists. Descriptions Bot uses ChatGPT to rewrite names and descriptions of all the products, as well as titles and descriptions of all the lists themselves. This way, you can effortlessly ensure that your website presents unique content for indexing by search engines.
To initiate the Descriptions Bot, open Tools (1) and select Descriptions Bot (2) in the Data Management section. If this is the first time you are using Descriptions Bot, you will need to authorize it (3). Once authorized, you can click on Rewrite Descriptions (4), specify the list, and begin the process.
Please note that each update (revised description, title, or name) requires a minimum upvote of at least $0.01 value in WAIV tokens. You can specify the minimum voting power (30% is the default value). Once the VP on your account falls below that value, or if the voting power is below $0.01, the process will slow down, waiting for the voting power to restore (it automatically restores at the rate of 20% per day).
You may launch this bot for multiple lists simultaneously. Progress will be monitored in a table. Jobs can be paused or resumed at any moment by changing the job status in the 'Active' column. Completed jobs will then be transferred to the history table.
Descriptions Bot allows website owners to effortlessly improve their search engine rankings with original content, making their site content more discoverable in search engines.

What happens to products that already have descriptions posted by my account? Will the Descriptions Bot create duplicates each time I use it?
Good question, and it's something that should have been addressed in the announcement.
No, there won't be any new descriptions, names, or titles generated if your account has already posted them. This allows you to use the Bot periodically to rewrite descriptions for newly added products by other users without creating unnecessary duplication.
So, essentially, I can just enter the top-level list, and if there are any new products added by other admins, bot will rewrite descriptions only for these products, correct? Also, what happens to the canonical links for products that receive new descriptions?
1. Yes, that's correct.
2. If the new description doesn't receive enough approvals to replace the previous one, then your site will display the new description without canonical referrals. However, if another site has added you to their list of admins, the new description will also appear on their site, and it will reference your site as the original source of that product.
