[MarkPearson]

Do you use Froogle for your website products?

Does it bring you sales?

Please tell me your feedback on googles froogle.

Hi Mark,

I have products listed on Froogle, but it hasn't generated many visitors to my website (only up to 20 per month). Suppose it does no harm being on there though.

Asked here bfore about how to get one of those autofeeds to load your products onto froogle but nobody replied, I think it can work very well if your prices are competitive like ours are. Going to look into it once the site is fully working middle of next week.

The link wasn't hard to find (but as a newbie I couldn;t post it.

Would be interested if anyone has had success selling intangibles (web based stuff)

I use froogle and get quite a bit of traffic through them. I'm not sure how many turn into sales but I think it's quite a lot. In my business I find that i sell best to people who search for a particular product such as "Armani Sunglasses 9052" rather than just "Sunglasses". If someone put a product speciic search into Google then chances are I will appear in the Froogle listing which of course is one of the first things the searcher sees.

We get regular sales through Froogle, but I think it varies a lot between products. The way I see it it's free so it's worth trying. It's just been changed to fit in with Google Base which is receiving greater attention from Google so it might generate more interest in future.

Any can someone help me upload it?

It's definitely worth doing. When I ran a site selling shawls with some friends it had a surge in sales when it first got listed on Froogle... though admittedly that went down when some large suppliers flooded it by uploading their entire database of several thousand shawls!

Once it's set up it's no hassle to update; I just wrote a very simple script to create the CSV from our back-end database and uploaded it to Froogle once a month.

Could someone assist me in uploading the file?

 

[Jonathan Senior]

I posted my products on Froogle and they came and went rather quickly even though they had a 30 day expiry. The guys at Google recommended loading up the file each week to keep the products in Froogle. They didn't show my products for a short while as I had Free P&P listed which is not allowed, however more than 3,000,000 products have Free P&P listed in the US Froogle and they don't get their products dropped like I did, I thought that was quite odd!?

For the best instructions on creating and uploading your file look at Google Base, just type Google Base in Google and it should come up...

Cheers, Trevor
