Google Products -> Google Base -> Google Merchant Centre. Whatever next?

I think it's: Froogle > Google Products -> Google Base -> Google Merchant Centre

Thanks for the heads up! Just went and configured mine-looks useful. BTW, it's center-not centre. Tsk, tsk, such beahaviour. ;-)

Is this the bit where all the data gets chopped up for the benefit of users and the detriment of webmasters?

Depends. Some webmasters--those who make and sell the widget, for example--will find this useful. Those webmasters who only make websites that point to the widget* and even retailers of the widget that buys from from the maker, however, will not be too keen on this. *These webmasters are similar to how newspapers once were. Which is why newspapers are focusing on selling what they make--news. Yeah, I know, but that's not my problem anymore...

{quote]even retailers of the widget that buys from from the maker, however, will not be too keen on this.[/quote] Would retailers necessarily be excluded? That was not the case with the previous links in the chain.

Merchant center + search = Swan song time for places like eBay!

Does anyone have a template for their datafeed ... I assume it's XML?

There's a lot of flexibility and opportunities for customisation to match your product type with regards to submitting a feed, there's a lot of information here: http://base.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=11271 [base.google.com] I haven't logged into Base for a long time, I've just had a look at Merchant and it appears to have a new performance tool (maybe that was in Base and I didn't notice?), other than that my feed no longer registers any errors whereas previously Base was reporting a seemingly random unfixable error relating to IDs in the Data quality tab. Right now there doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference, maybe there's more good things to come?

Is there anything in this for the likes of me? - I have a website offering downloads and premium PDF materials.
