Bold new features in Froogle

[wizardofx]

Now if you click on the top line (the part number) it takes
you to a page which list your whole feed description,
as well as competitor's pricing for the same thing.

This was, uh, a little embarassing for me because
on some of my products I just copied all the text
from the corresponding web page whether it made
good reading or not. I figured since you could only
see the first few words, it wouldn't matter. . .

Luckily most of my 271 products read OK still.

I find that sometimes this new feature works
and sometimes it doesn't. It seems that if
there is a lot of competition it works, but if
there isn't the part number links directly to
my web page.

If there is competition the link shows not only
my blurb but the competitors and their prices.

I don't see what you're referring to.

Is this in the froogle results or in the Merchant Center?

I'm not seeing anything like what you describe. Besides, not all items in Froogle have a part number.

[wizardofx]

Go to Froogle and type in Toshiba Satellite
in the search line.

Click on one of the part number, the top line
which is a link from one of the results. (The
second result shows it better).

What you see is the same picture, the complete
blurb and some competitor's pricing.

I'm not seeing anything like what you describe. Besides, not all items in Froogle have a part number.

One of the items in the data feed is the "name." This
name is often the part or model number, and it is
what consists the first line of the results.

[Crazy_Rob]

Still not seeing it.

Oh well.

[wizardofx]

It looks like about time to change that
cat, it is interfering with your froogleing.

[Mia]

I have to agree with CR. I'm just not seeing what you are seeing. Are you sure that you did not click on a listing that compared the price of various Toshiba Satellite's?

[wizardofx]

Things at toshiba satellite have changed since yesterday
but it still works.

go to Froogle and type in toshiba satellite

Click on the top line which says
Toshiba Satellite M45-S355 /PSM40U-073001/ laptops

This is the field that is called "name" in the feed.

The link doesn't go to Euclid Computers, which is the
result you just found. It goes to a type of price comparison
page.

Include is the following paragraph:

Description from Euclid Computers: laptops Toshiba Satellite M45-S355 /PSM40U-073001/ Pentium M 750 1.86GHz 15.4 1280x800 100.0G 1024MBMB RAM DVD-Multiburner 56K Ethernet 10/100 802.11b/g 6.7lbs 1 year WXP Home

This is from Euclid's feed, and it is the field called "description."

Right?
