When we launched BUPS in 2016, we anticipated that AI would obviate the search service we provided. What we did not anticipate was that AI-based search would "suck all the air out the room" prior to providing a superior product for this niche.
The secondary impediment AI created was to “encourage” web sites to protect their content from bots. The BUPS “scraper” was benign in that it only captured active boat part listings & provided links back to sellers.
This blog contains information regarding BUPS. The posts are numbered and go from less, i.e. I, with increasing level of detail. Thus, you may stop reading when you lose interest ;-)
The original site with testimonials, press, etc., if still available , can be found here: https://sites.google.com/view/boat-used-part-search/search
