Optimizing Froogle Data Feeds

Any tips?

[GaryTM]

We've recently uploaded our product base to Froogle, and at once we've to pretty good results.

However I think that the good results are caused mostly because of the small quantity of Froogle participants, and when their amount increases everyone will need to work on Froogle optimization.

Please tell is there any tips on Froogle Optimization? Does someone have an experience in this?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld GaryTM!

Optimizing for Froogle is a combination of a few factors. Getting the KW in the title and the description , along with price is a significant determining factor. Making sure that your products are mapped to the correct Froogle category is also very important. One of the nice things about submitting feeds is that you can measure your results every time you upload a new feed. Keep track of your results and tweak what you submit until you find the sweet spot that works for you. :)

Since many people search based on price, price your products slightly lower than the competition. For example, if the going rate for widgets is $19.99, price your product at $19.88. So simple, but it works!

There is a lot more than just Keyword in the title and description and lowest price to get displayed toward the top of the serps.

I have some listings that I don't even show up with the relevant items. I am all the way at the bottom.
I have the same descriptions as the #1 or #2 SERP items and I am also the cheapest. Yet my listing is like #19
My category is right, all the data is there but still #19.

I have tried finding out more information but I am having no luck at all at improving the results. Of course if they hit best price listing, I am number one. But I want to be toward the top on the "default" best match listings

I'm not real sure but your sites page rank might play a part in placement. I do know it is worth all the effort. I just had a huge sale and she said she found me on Froogle.

I decided to start checking PR and see what it shows.
#1 listing, item page PR0, home page PR5
#2 listing, item page PR0, home page PR5
#3 listing, item page PR1, home page PR5
#4-12 listings are not even the right item
#13 my listing, item page PR0, home page PR5

I do get some traffic from froogle because many of my items are cheaper. I just think I am missing a lot of froogle traffic because I don't show up anywhere near the top in the Best Match listing.
