Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[kevinmc3]

normally, 12-24 hours is for the feed to go live after approval... Is you feed name the same as what you told Google? Did you create the feed in Google first? I have mine placed into a feed folder on my site. I downloaded that file and then did a manual up load to Google when I first started. That way I could test my format and make sure the file name was right. I didn't trust that it would auto insert the feed, so I did it myself, which could be your problem if you didn't create the feed yet in Google.

Now its done through the mod and it still takes 12-24 for the feed to go live, but my feed now is over 5000 products.

Another good reason for doing a small manual upload... you'll need to clam the feed using the Google instructions.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but this is a bit confusing.

1)." Is you feed name the same as what you told Google? Did you create the feed in Google first?
No, I thought the Mod did that ??

2). " I have mine placed into a feed folder on my site. I downloaded that file and then did a manual up load to Google when I first started. " -> You mean the Feed file you created manually ? I am confused exactly what you did? You created a Feed file, then downloaded it , then uploaded it?

3). "I didn't trust that it would auto insert the feed, so I did it myself, which could be your problem if you didn't create the feed yet in Google.". I am still unclear what you did here. Sorry if I am a bit slow.

The Zen Feed Mod created this:
Google Base Feeder v1.7.4 started 2010/06/07 01:57:56
Feed file - /home/cvtreasu/public_html/feed/domain_products.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Google Base File Complete In 9.522361 Seconds 1116 Records

So the file domain_products.xml. Is this what you named your MANUAL Feed file?

Then the Zen Feed uploaded this:
Google Base Feeder v1.7.4 started 2010/06/07 02:01:33
Feed file - /home/cvtreasu/public_html/feed/domain_products.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...

Telling me it uploaded the XML file. However, it is NOT in the Merchant Center Feeds or the FTP account location > FTP root at uploads.google.com
