I need some help with Google Base. It has been working for a couple of months with absolutely no problem. I haven’t changed anything. Lately, it only exports 21 products out or 117. I get this kind of errors from the Google base error log for the products that did not post:
[QUOTE]Success with errors
We recommend including this attribute: mpn. Line 43.
We recommend including this attribute: condition. Line 43.
We recommend including this attribute: isbn. Line 43.
We recommend including this attribute: brand. Line 43.
The item is missing a required attribute: description. Line 43.[/QUOTE]
Update: the problem was actually with the descriptions, for some reason, it looks like description became mandatory lately for products in Google Base, never had this issue before. I added them and was able to upload the inventory again.
Google Base is an awesome and free way to bring traffic to your site, does anybody knows other FREE online malls where you can post products like that?
I have a new cart set up for a client. And I am trying to get the products loaded on googlebase. I have a googlebase account, I have the FTP logins for that. And I have exported the products and it shows as successful. However there is nothing in my googlebase admin showing the products nor can I find the products on the googlebase.
Can someone give me some more detailed stpe by steps instructions to getting this all set up. I want to see what I might have missed.
I’m shocked to see that only 9 of 26 were on Froogle/Google Base. I posted this on another forum and will post it here as well:
[QUOTE]It’s free, ultra targeted traffic. It really doesn’t get much better than that :).
I can associate between 50 - 100 clicks per day from google base / froogle for one of our sites, and it’s always converted well. [/QUOTE]
It takes about 5 minutes - and only has to be done once per month. There’s really no reason not to assuming that your products fall within Google’s guidelines.
