Re: Google Merchant module Version 1.12.0 by Numinix
Ahh, ok... well I won't be paying for clicks. Not really fair on small businesses, hopefully they'll go back to the good old Google Products.

Re: Installation of Numinix Google Merchant v12.5 on Zen Cart 1.5 Part 2
Hi guys,
google wrote me warning that my feed does not have the parameter "availabilty" and therefore my feed will be soon excluded.
They allow only description like" in stock" "out of stock" "available for order" "preorder".
Has anyone a solution for this?
I do not like to show the availabilty on my shop cause I do not use the zen caart inventory management, therefore I need a solution that is indipendent from the availabilty setting in admin.
Thanks in advance.
ciao from Italy
Re: Installation of Numinix Google Merchant v12.5 on Zen Cart 1.5 Part 2
Hey Diva (and other Google Merchant folks)!
So, google will nix your products feed if you don't have a ppc campaign.
My questions is what happens to your feed if you only have PPC on only a few products in your feed? Does your entire feed show in google products (I doubt it), or only the ones with a PPC campaign.
If the later is true, then there is not sense to feeding google merchant center with your entire store. If that's the case, then this module would need some work so you can feed ONLY the products in your PPC campaign.
If I'm rambling a bit, I'm sorry. I have a client who recently wanted to start using Amazon's PPC tools. With Amazon, you supply only the products you want to feed, not your entire store.
Thoughts?

There is already an option to include/exclude categories and one for manufacturers. Maybe this is enough to tweak the feed to show the desired products?

Yes it's true Google will not do anything with your feed without an active PPC campaign linked to the product feed.. I don't really see the benefit of this mod anymore unless you are an active Google AdWords client... <rant>Seems unfair for Google to build up their brand on the backs of small businesses only to turn it into a paid service..</rant>
That said, I only have two clients who use this anymore, and these two clients use the Pro version of this mod.. (didn't want to mess with installing this so we opted to pay Numinix to install it)
but like Design75 stated, there is a way to include or exclude categories and/or manufacturers from the feed.
Re: Installation of Numinix Google Merchant v12.5 on Zen Cart 1.5 Part 2
I'll have to look at the exclusions options. It may require a little modifying to categories so you only have worthwhile products in it.
Despite my GREAT concerns and adamant warning to proceed with great caution, this one client decided to dump $500 dollars into your PPC account which emptied in 3 days. Oh, and no conversions!
It would be different if a click resulted in a purchase. That would mean something, but this is truly meaningless and subject to abuse. It would not take a genius to write a script to run through a randomizing TOR browser and eat up your competition's PPC accounts.
At least with Amazon, she's set up her account for like a $8 a day limit, and ALL products show in Amazon that she's submitted, and she only pays for the click.

Beyond setting this module up, my clients have always managed their own PPC accounts with Google.. I haven't seen ANYONE get back any kind of ROI on an AdWords campaign.. However, I thought the Google didn't charge unless there was a click too..
