How to Increase Your Sales by Listing in Googles Froogle

Listing your products in Froogle is a free way to extend the reach of your marketing efforts to millions of customers. This press release gives the details and advantages of submitting to Froogle.

Sommerville, NJ (PRWEB) March 19, 2004 --Listing your products in Froogle is a free way to extend the reach of your marketing efforts to millions of customers.

Froogle is an extension of the Google search engine that millions of people around the globe use daily to research products before they purchase. Listing your product in Froogle is a free way to extend the reach of your marketing efforts to millions of new customers.

Google's worldwide user base performs more than 150 million searches a day. That presents an enormous opportunity to introduce your products to customers you might otherwise spend millions of dollars in advertising to reach. These are people actively searching for the items you sell. Inclusion in Froogle is absolutely free.

There are two ways you can get included in Froogle: The first, though not the most effective is to let Google or Froogle crawl your site and pick up product information for itself. This is likely to result in inaccuracies in your product listing. The second, and more effective way is to submit a file called a data feed directly to Froogle.

To be eligible to submit a data feed, you must sell products via your website and ship them to the buyer. If you sell services or custom products that do not have fixed prices, use your website only to promote an offline business, or are an affiliate marketing site, your site content may be crawled by and included in Google's web search, but it will not be included in Froogle. Nor will Froogle accept a data feed under these conditions.

Merchants who meet Froogle's criteria and want to submit a data feed must allow Google to crawl their websites by removing any robots.txt files that disallow Googlebot spider.

The first step is to get a Froogle account. To get an account you will need to send Froogle basic contact and products details about your company. The second step is to create the data feed file from your products information.

After you've created your feed file, you will need to upload it to Froogle's FTP server using your account id and password (obtained when you are accepted into the program).

Setting up a data feed manually maybe difficult and time consuming. You can use commercial software tools such as Froogle Feeder created by SiteAll.com (http://www.siteall.com/products/) or use their professional submission services (http://www.siteall.com/services/).
