Unfortunately there’s no such a cool thing as Google shopping search in Finland. But, at the moment, there are couple of other options to think of. So if you’re running or would like to run an online store in Finland, maybe you would like to have some visibility on these shopping search sites (mostly in Finnish):

• Hintaseuranta
• Ostokset.fi
• Vaivaton.com
• Vertaa.fi
• Webinfo.fi

In my opinion, Webinfo is the closest match on Google’s unpaid shopping search. Vertaa.fi has CPC (cost per click) pricing method and the rest have some kind of small monthly or annual fee. Almost each of these announce different metrics about usage: page views, visitors and unique visitors. Hard to say whether these are really good for your online business, but they are probably worth to try.

The next web analytics wednesday in Finland will be held on 27th of February at Sanoma building. Steve Jackson from Satama will speak about measuring success of social media. A very interesting topic followed by Tommi Lehtonen from Whitevector. He will present how to measure social media’s effects on brands. This is excellent chance to get new ideas and meet the experts with relaxed atmosphere. See the below:
