OrientDig Link Finder Notes
Use OrientDig link finder tools and techniques to discover product links, search across categories, and build your research list.
What Is a Link Finder?
An OrientDig link finder is any tool or method for discovering product links beyond the spreadsheets you already have. Link finders help researchers expand their product research beyond familiar sources. Finding new links is valuable because spreadsheet links become outdated over time, and fresh links may lead to better products or better prices. Link finding is a skill that improves with practice and knowledge of the OrientDig ecosystem.
Search-Based Link Finding
The most direct link finding method is searching within the OrientDig platform for specific product types. Use broad search terms for initial exploration and narrow terms for targeted research. Search results show current product listings, making them more reliable than older spreadsheet links. However, search results are not comprehensive and may miss products that are listed under different keywords.
Community-Based Link Discovery
Research communities and forums are rich sources of new product links. Researchers share finds, discuss QC results, and recommend products. Following active community discussions exposes you to products you might not discover through search alone. However, community links should still be independently verified, as they may become outdated or lead to different products than described.
Category Browsing for Links
Browsing product categories within the OrientDig platform reveals products organized by type. Category browsing is useful when you want to explore a specific product category broadly without being limited by search terms. It shows all products in a category, including those you might not think to search for. Category browsing also reveals pricing patterns and popular sellers within each category.
Building and Maintaining a Link Collection
As you discover links, organize them by category, quality, and verification status. A well-maintained link collection is a valuable research resource. Update your collection regularly by adding new links, removing dead links, and updating verification dates. Share your collection with other researchers only after verifying that all links are current and accurate.
