    I've had decent success with them in the past couple of months. Getting a couple dozens clicks a day and a few sales/week. Nothing spectacular but considering it's free not bad either...

    My cellular accessories store http://www.cellup.com had a great success using Froogle. I have over 4300 products listed on Froogle and the customers are buying.

    Froogle has always been good to me but SortPrice has definitely had the better conversion rate.

    dont expect much from Froogle but think that it is just starting, i think u should worry more into get prestige/position and wait for result on a year or more. use it as a secondary source but use it, it is growing...

    We started using Froogle about a year ago. For months it brought no traffic at all, but about 6 months ago it started picking up, and around Nov/ Dec it was doing pretty good. Not amazing but we were getting sales from it. A sale is a sale, and for the little amount of work it takes to upload feeds, it's worth it, I think. We don't have many products on there just because of the nature of what we do, only about 70, so it's really not much work at all.

    I just signed up to sortprice too so I'll see how that goes

    For the minimal amount of work it takes to upload a feed it's well worth it. I expect that Froogle results will be incorporated into more of the search results, we're seeing an increase in the number of kw terms we target that now display Froogle results.

    We've also noticed lately that the results no longer display just one listing from a particular store, we used to have a single listing in the Product Search results, but now we're seeing multiple listings from our stores, giving us the first and second postition.

    The Product Search results above the search listings used to take the top three and sort them by price, but I no longer see that anymore. One of our products listed in the Product Search results is #8 in Froogle.

    We've noticed an increase in traffic and yes, it does convert. :) I'd suggest updating and optimizing your feeds and make sure that they are uploaded regularly, no less than monthly.

    I just started using Froogle to advertise my products, the help screen are VERY detailed.
    Customer service is outstanding, they have actual people email you and are genuinely interested in helping you get your feed upoaded correctly, something you don't see very often

    :D
