How long time to wait?

[funggorgor]

Just submit application form to Froogle
1) How long time it takes for Froogle to approve my site?
2) If Froogle don't accept my site, will I receive a response?

We recently applied, it took about two weeks.
And we were not accepted at this point.
We got an email response.

Hi,

We are still waiting after 2 weeks of uploading the feed and everything is ok.
Froogle must be overloaded.

Bek.

I submit the application form almost two weeks ago and have never received any information from froogle, no idea :(

I originally submitted a feed on December 14th, I then recieved an email from them over a week later saying I needed to add category information (I could have sworn it said this was optional - I didn't include it because our site doesn't really have a category structure). I re-uploaded straight away and didn't hear from them until a week ago where they told me the prices didn't match up (to be fair this is my fault for not noticing they had been updated for January). They then said it would take 3 business days to get the products live and if not then to email them ...still nothing :/

I signed up about 6 months ago, then never followed up. Around beginning of nov. I emailed them back and mentioned that we got our images from a subscription service (book cover images)...and no this is not coming from AWS. They were really helpful. It took about 2 weeks to get the first test upload in then have everything tested. Didn't totally go the first time but finally its up. Get about 2 orders a day (out of maybe 40 total) from them. Our pricing is not the most competitive especially since we really are a niche player (our own inventory) and just dropship the common or mass market stuff.

One thing I will note though it seems that the "fresher" you keep your uploads the better you do on hits. I need to add some metrics to my urls to find out just how good they are doing. Rank about #60 as far as driving overall traffic to site.

Good luck hope this helps.

just letting you know.. i recieved an email this morning from the froogle team saying that my content had been approved, unfortunately when i logged in it says my feed has expired (after seven days?!). presumably my feed wont need approving again..
