Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[DivaVocals]

Is this All Categories suppose to be within admin/Google Base Feeder Configuration ?

Yes.. I see you figured this out based on the screen shot you posted.. If INclude is blank the module assumes ALL. If EXclude is blank the module assumes NONE.. If you add specific category IDs (NOT category names) to either option then the module will INclude or EXclude those categories you specify.

Also.. You suggested... "On the Title DO NOT USE CAPS Google will kick it back".

Are you talking about our product titles ?

Yep..

I don't get it.

When I search other peoples Google Products, they all have caps in their product titles..

You can try it and maybe it will go through but Google snagged on using CAPS in my title.

Caps are fine At The Beginning Of Each Word. Google takes all my feeds like that. THEY DO NOT LIKE IT THIS WAY. Hope that helps

I uploaded my first feed last night, then this morning when I woke up I noticed one of my competitors had beat all my prices. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there a program to monitor the prices of your products, I find it hard to believe that these guys could beat all of my prices while I was sleeping....

Does the feeder have an option for preventing items from being searchable through the API? Also does anyone use a competitor analysis tool?

If you make cPath for product url = true will it use the URL of your product as the category path? Is that where google wants you to say your tennis racket is: Sports > outdoor sports > tennis > tennis rackets.

So will that only work if your urls are SEO? Or if your Urls are alreadu SEO would this be redundant?

I've been having problems getting all of my products listed. I can generate a feed with 358 products, but Google only lists 208. I do get an XML formatting error - it doesn't say how many and I can't seem to find it. It shows one line - 4274 but I don't see a problem on that line.
I did correct the feed generator for quotation marks and ampersands. Would that cause the problem?
Any ideas?
Thanks
