    Wondering if anyone has tried Froogle for an Automotive dealer? (used cars Dealer inventory)

    I'm considering writting up the code to send my whole database up a couple times a month. I'm just wondering if it would be worth the effort. They make it pretty easy with XML feeds (which I haven't used yet). I've added cars singularly but with absolutly no results.

    One of the reasons I like Froogle is that say for example the keywords "used cars" returns over 50 million in Google Search..

    But Froogle returns just under 1 Million..

    http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=used+cars&btnG=Search+Froogle

    More and more webmasters are hoping on the band wagon but I would say if you can generate the xml feed fairly easily then go for it !

    Best of Luck!

    agree with the above - if it does not take you long to generate and format the xml file then submission only takes a few minutes.

    The first time you generate the xml and submit may take a bit of fiddling to get the formatting correct, after that its a breeze. :)
