SUBMIT YOUR EBAY LISTINGS TO FROOGLE, GOOGLE BASE..?


So you want to submit your listings (all of them or some of them)?
What the heck am I talking about and am I on some sort of medication?

Keep reading to find out how to increase your ebay exposure on google's seach pages with custom 'shopping' type links. This is in addition to any google search results that may come up for your items, either store, auction or fixed listings.

Basically you can increase your hits from potential customers by adding your listings to Google Base (also known as Froogle). You can add your ebay listings without having to manually type in all of your items details.

This ability comes in the form of ebay's relatively new support for RSS feeds.

Here's what you need to do:
Setup your ebay RSS feeds by going to My Ebay: Goto Myebay > Marketing Tools > Store Marketing > Listing Feeds;
Then click the options to generate RSS files, Check both options.

Now you will have an RSS feed setup by eBay. Next you will submit this eBay feed to Froogle.

The easiest way to submit it is to download the software from Froogle. Please goto my blog entry for the download link to the software (its free and I dont get anything for adding this link). There is an alternate way to add bulk files to Froogle, however this has some issues with it and is quite difficult to make work. So the easiest way is to download this piece of software, install it, Setup your Froogle Account and follow the easy instructions that come with the software.

The software will then use your ebay password and login, grab all of your listings (its only doing a copy of your listings, it wont affect your existing ebay listings), and submit to Froogle.

That's it simple, now you will list all of your ebay items within Froogle and GAIN maximum additional amounts of exposure for  your items.

Please let me know if this was helpful, if you have any questions and PLEASE VOTE IF THIS HELPED YA!
