Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase

[alray10]

Alray10 - thanks again for the info but I have a google related question for you. I pulled up your site and noticed that you sold athletic shoes. My question is in regards to your choice to use google ads on your site that advertise other stores that sell converse shoes. Does this seem like a smart marketing move? Seriously though, do you make more from advertising other stores that sell the same products as you than you do from actually selling them? This is one of the very reasons I discounted ever using Google Ads on my site and I was wondering if there was something I didn't consider.

I am thinking of removing google adsense myself I do keep putting sites on the ban list but as quick as I ban them another pops up.
I make very little out of adsense and it is hardly worth the time I spend putting them on the band list.
The only reason I leave them there is because even if google deny it I do find I get more hits from google if I have adsense on my site.

Your other question if you delete a bulk up load file yes the whole lot gets removed from googlebase.

Couldn't you just set your ad box to display links in a new window? Then you'd generate profits from clicks and still retain the customer. Furthermore, the customer may see that your site has the better deal and will solidify the sale...

Numinix - That is a bit of a risky proposition as well. Yes it is great if you are offering a better deal than the competitors.....but what if you aren't?

I'm having trouble when I create the files. They are showing that it created properly and that 1669 items are in the file, but when you view the file all that is there is the header lines. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Any help would be appericated.

Thanks

This may sound silly but did you scroll all the way to the right? Depending on what you opened it with it may have put each one on one very long line..

I double checked without success. All that is there is the header.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Is anyone still having trouble uploading to froogle/google base? I love this module but I have never been able to click the two buttons and actually have it upload. This is the message I get after I click upload:

Any recommendations? I have been uploading them manually, but would like to take full advantage of this module. Thanks.
