Google Base is something of a hybrid between a purchasing website (think pricegrabber.com) and a residential district bulletin board (think craigslist.org). Google has a comparison site named Froogle that was designed to let big merchants list their products and services in Google process and give a solution to comparison shop. The Froogle listing process is now being changed by Google Base which essentially lets everyone post just about any type of content. It's nearly the same as CraigsList in this respect. I am not crazy about the name Google Base since it doesn't present any type of imagery regarding shopping or a message site whatsoever, but that's a different story.

The reason to use Google Base is simple. Online, your web pages contend with an incredible number of the others for customer views. By listing your product in Google Base, you quickly narrow your competitors you face by many orders of magnitude. For example, if we are an individual and are looking for a specific Sony digicam, we may possibly seek for "buy sony dsc-t10" in Google. The serp's can move from an incredible number of pages that the seller's all compete for rank. Some of the pages will actually be e-commerce sites, but some will you should be data sites. But, you might observe that before every one of the search results, you view a "Product search results for buy sony dsc-t10." That is being drawn from the Google Base listings. People will be likely to click this link as it provides them by having an simple method to see prices and supply from various web sites which have the camera we're looking for. You can have your digital products right here as well. This can be a powerful marketing opportunity to take advantage of. On top of that, it is currently free to list your products there.

There are two ways to list your services and products in Google Base, by physically listing individual objects using a mass upload method via XML, and the internet based sort interface. Actually, you can find three methods with the 3rd being developing your system with the Google Base API. This last option is the most technically complicated but may be worth considering later on. Then using the internet based sort feedback process could be the simplest, if you only have a couple of items to record. Then using the mass upload approach may be the strategy to use, when you have hundreds or a large number of objects. Something to say is that the listings only last for 30 days from the time you originally record them. We've automated the system to re-list our items utilising the Bulk Upload system and FTP file transfer. If you record via the web interface, you'll want to do so again after 1 month. I'll not get into the step-by-step guidelines here on since they are both pretty straightforward how to do either and the Google Base site has detail by detail information on how to accomplish each. As your product exposure to be increased by a means my intention here is just to get you to use the service. As an additional benefit, if you sell using Google Checkout, in that case your Google Base listing can look more prominently in the item search engine results. This may boost the click-through/purchase price even more. I am hoping this encourages this powerful marketing tool to be used by you offered by Google. There as the service is currently free is no risk. It really requires a little your own time. bose lifestyle 135
