    I notice that googlebot spiders the url's I have submitted with my xml feed into google base, so that does get more of your site in google, and that is no bad thing.

    What format did you have to have your XML feed in?
    I would like to submit it using the XMl feed versus the tab delimited text file I am using now.

    I programmed a converter to do this however I am guessing at the format they want it in.

    I am guessing something the following effect:

    
    <?xml version="1.0"? encoding="ISO-8859-1">
    <frooglefeed>
    <product_url></product_url>
    <name></name>
    <description></description>
    <price></price>
    <image_url></image_url>
    <category></category>
    <offer_id></offer_id>
    </frooglefeed>
    
    Code (markup):
    Is this correct? How did you have yours set up? I could not find anything on their website to let me know how they want it formatted according to their schema or DTD.

    Thanks for any insight,

    BTW: You can see my converter here: http://www.spectacularstuff.com/froogle-tools/text-to-xml-convertor/frooglefeed_to_xml.php

    It helps in that google sometimes displays products before the search results.

    Optimise your feeds like you would optimise a page on your website.

    Take a look at this search to see what I mean.

    It is like DoA said. It's not really about helping SERPS on your pages. What most poeple don't realize or pay attention to is how people search. Most people looking for widgets don't search for "widgets". They make specific searches like "Super Rare 1972 Blue Widget". If you sell "1972 blue widgets", then your products could show up above the SERPS via your froogle (AKA Google Base) feed.

    I have a new website we launched a couple of months ago in an extremely competitive market that is pulling in decent traffic almost exclusively via froogle feeds. Although everyone in this market sells over 1,000 variations of there product, I haven't seen any that are optimized for the 1,000 specific searches for these product variations. They use the generic industry keyword for optimization. As a result, It will take me some time to show up first in the industry term, but I was able to slide in there and steal alot of traffic just by setting up froogle feeds for each of the site's products.

    I don't think it has an effect. If it does, very little.

    Rank Well In Google And Froogle

    Although there's no way to buy a top Froogle placement, remember that Froogle results are fed directly from Google's index. Anything you do to optimize your page in Google may indirectly help you with Froogle.

    Remember that content is key to Google. Carefully write your product descriptions and give a lot of information about your product - as well as product reviews and comparisons. Visitors love that kind of helpful information - and so does Google's ranking algorithm because you've given it lots of good content to index.

    A high Google rank doesn't automatically mean a high Froogle rank - but it can't hurt! Carefully optimize your Web site to appeal to Google's search algorithm and you may just boost your site in Froogle as well.

    Page Primer, part of Search Engine Power Pack, contains valuable tips to help you optimize your page content to appeal to specific search engines - Google included. You can also use the deep submit option of Search Engine Starter (also part of Power Pack) to submit your important internal pages - like your product description pages.

    Those pages draw visitors looking for information and flag Froogle that you're selling products that need to be included in the Froogle index. Froogle promises to be a great resource for consumers and it also give small businesses a way to compete with online retailing giants - without incurring giant costs.

    This may be a stupid question, but please bear with me. What if you aren't selling any products? Can you market your blogs on Froogle or Google Base?
