Hi, I learned about Google base just recently. How good do you rate this service on the basis of traffic generated. I am planning to install this on one of my new shopping cart. Is it worth the efforts? Please share your experiences on this.
I used it for real estate listings for a little while, but it didn't generate any traffic. That was a couple years ago, perhaps it has improved since I tried.
Ive used it on a art site, its ok, but dont expect major traffic from it, if your using a site where you can just install a plugin and generate a google base feed then go for it, but dont spend major time on it as i dont think it will pay off in terms of traffic.
This is just that, a "new" service. I would expect many leads\conversions\sales right off the bat, but who knows what the future can have in store. Almost everything Google has done so far has turned to gold, why not Google base.
Google base, AKA Froogle is hardly a new service it has been going for years. The way i look at it is its FREE advertising so any leads that are free has to be good, just dont expect too much for free.
Hardly new, we currently have over 3,000 products on Google products, which pales in comparison to my colleagues company which has 3.5 million. It is huge and drives large numbers of targeted traffic that converts like crazy. Get on board. First hand Benefits we have experienced over the past year -1 million is sales with next to zero cost (hourly wage for about 1 week to set up API which is completely dependent on number of products listed and programmers capabilities) -using an API = self population (updates prices, availability, etc) Guys I highly suggest you get on this one.
