Gmorgan, I believe for your products to appear in Base, each one must have a price and you must be able to purchase it from the resulting landing page.

I generally find in Google Universal Search, the 3 items it lists are 1) The most expensive, 2) The cheapest, 3) One somewhere in the middle, so if you can use that to your advantage, go for it.

I also find that the companies who dominate shopping listings have a high number of seller ratings, so get rated on shopzilla, ciao, pricegrabber, shopping etc etc

My feed is also scheduled to be picked up every 7 days instead of the 30, the way I view it, if Google likes fresh content, then it will like a fresh feed aswell.

I'm anticipating a bit of a drop in base referrals since the new Google algorithm change aswell (that favours big brands over the smaller guys) - my preliminary research has shown that bigger brands are already getting a boost both organically and in shopping results

Final point: I was always told to be as descriptive as possible, and to be honest this worked against me. Now I only provide generally what customers want to know and I get better results now.

Enough rambling from me!
