Any Froogle Data Feed Questions?

Let's start discussing this area - which I feel is lacking.

With the little experience on the Froogle Data feed, I'd like to submit some kind of FAQs on the Data feed format itself. I am sure it would be useful to everybody here - so ask your questions away...everyone else & I can try and answer them. Let's then compile them to FAQs...

Yep - here's our time table:

Initial request to froogle: 14th Dec 2002
Asked to fill out merchant agreement: 17th Dec 2002
Feed instructions received: 18th Dec 2002
[First data feed and verification request on 20th Dec 2002]
[Second email to froogle asking verification 9th Jan 2003]
Confirmation received 15th Jan 2003
Feed included for first time 17th Jan 2003

1 Month! PR definitely weighs into their algo for ranking products -- the URL's need to be spidered and given PR, they seem to be listed accordingly (Price and relevance not quite there yet).

That makes me feel much better, thanks FlashRed...
