How do you say - 'Yeeh Hah' - or something like that?
Good God - we'll be following you into a commercially led, disastrous war next...
Surely Froogle will initate a price war? Price wars are something our business, like many others who advertise on Adwords simply cannot afford to get into.
Correct me if I am wrong, will the companies with the lowest prices appear at the top of Froogle without any inclusion fee? If this is the case, what incentive is there for the paying Adwords advertiser with the higher priced product to remain with Google Adwords?
Our only saviour will be that our suppliers strictly enforce a ban on discounting of their product lines (as some already do.)

That's illegal in the UK. Suppliers are not allowed to fix prices these days. There are very severe fines that can be imposed if the Office of Fair Trading get interested.
...meddling prats that they are.
But, yes, you are correct. So now there are a million different, "inventive" ways suppliers are forming cartels.
I couldn't see, in the link, when the UK launch is due...does anybody know?

That's the easy one and only works when retailers don't speak among themselves.
There are loads more, and many of them very subtle :)
But the OFT is a pumped up, bloated, meddling, clueless bunch of tax payer funded, semi-literate, pompous bureaucratic no-goods. (And, I'd tell them so... if I wasn't running a business myself ;))
Worth making sure you drop the revenue share to zero though, as they sign up as a new affiliate.
Nice to see u all on Froogle Discussion, just wanted to know how does, Froogle delivers the search results. Is there any criteria like google, or there are some other factors that effect Sites' ranking in froogle.
looking forward for your replies, thanks in advance!

One question - how popular is it in the USA - has anyone got any stats, and could we expect the same popularity over here?
Cheers

Are we talking about the datafeed here, or if someone has emailed them suggesting a site.
Please advise.
Considering that froogle has been released fairly quietly and has only been available for 3 days I think that is very very impressive.
I wouldn't be surprised if at google added sponsored products into the listing that work similarly to the adwords which I think would be a good thing as it would help provide them with revenue and sites a chance to promote their products where they may not normally rank highly.
Froogle in the UK can only be a good thing... It will introduce more competition to sites that charge way to much on a PPC basis. Causing them to reduce their charges.
I think that companies such as kelkoo, price runner and dealtime have a lot to worry about with the arrival of froogle. With the results I've seen so far, I think froogle will knock Kelkoo to where they belong provide 30-40% of leads.
I signed up on 27th September. I still havn't had a response from Froogle! Do these guys respond?I received a reply today.
The site shows vat (and delivery costs etc) for every item as soon as you add it to the cart. But Froogle want the vat on each product page.
