Here are some of the feed optimization questions that I received from last week.

		<description><![CDATA[The next 10-12 weeks can mean everything to some merchants, as it&#8217;s not uncommon for select retailers to earn 60-80% of their annual business from Q4 holiday shopping. What better way to ensure you&#8217;re getting the most from your comparison shopping engine feeds than by asking us for feed advice!

		<description><![CDATA[Merchants who sell products that are gender specific are off the hook. You don&#8217;t have to say &#8220;Women&#8217;s nail polish&#8221; or &#8220;Women&#8217;s bikini&#8221;. The same thing applies to men&#8217;s products like cumberbunds, neck ties, and boxer briefs. The gender for those products is inferred. Merchants who sell products that are not explicitly unisex should always [...]]]></description>

The one offense we see most often has to do with merchants trying to include &#8220;Free Shipping&#8221; or similar phrases in their product titles, descriptions, or custom attribute fields.

		<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of August, Google Base asked that merchants begin sending higher quality images. This is a great move forward for the user (shopper) experience when they can see higher resolution, larger images instead of tiny thumbnail sized ones. I wanted to take a moment to remind merchants that while images for Google Base [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Product Search has always had &#8220;out-of-the-box&#8221; support for a number of product attributes.  You can find the supported attribute list in their feed spec documentation.  While this list of supported attributes is robust (and has gotten more lengthy over the years), Google still allows merchants to submit &#8220;custom attributes&#8221; if they have additional, structured [...]]]></description>
