Comment on Google Product Search Traffic Down, Other CSE’s Report Steady Or Increased Traffic by Tracy

Tracy — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:18:44 +0000

I have used froogle since beta and I love it. I do at least half of my non-grocery shopping online. But froogle has created itself some problems.

First, Google can’t decide what it’s called. First it was Froogle, then it was Google Product Search, then Shopping; in the google browser add-on toolbar, it’s still froogle. I have been through 3 distinct scares of “Oh, no, they did away with [current name for froogle]!” only to find it under a new name.

Then they added eBay stuff to the search. If I want to shop on eBay, I’ll go to eBay; these listings are just junk to filter through in froogle. What’s worse, the eBay data (often listed as the eBay store name instead of eBay) tends to be out-of-date; moreso than regular listings. eBay users game the system by listing shipping (on 5 ounce items) as “Freight” and then entering the shipping cost in the textual description. Froogle then lists those items as “free” shipping from store X, and the user clicks through to an eBay listing for a used item with high non-free shipping. Waste my time and I won’t be back.

Hi there,

I’m not sure I have understood this properly:

“0% of eCommerce and Online Advertising in the U.S. is driven from the Social Economy”…surely you don’t mean this?

Cheers,

Ben

Comment on Live.com Product Search & MSN Shopping Comparison Engines by Richard V. Burckhardt

Richard V. Burckhardt — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:49:09 +0000

I can’t even get products to show up. I use a Google Base compatible feed which uploads successfully and is indicated as published. However, no products EVER show up live. All of our competitors seem to have no problem. When I asked Live Product Search support, I got run around in circles about how to create an account and feed (They use cut and paste answers). Finally, my support request was elevated, but all I got back was “Currently many factors are involved when searching for a particular product using the search engine. Unfortunately some of these factors are confidential and proprietary in nature so I will be unable to disclose those to you at this time” - another cut and paste answer.

I have to assume our competitors are paying them or that their products are showing up by virtue of some other shopping comparison feed (PPC).

Anyone else have this experience?
