Bing Shopping's Webinar, Q&A Recap

Thank you to all the online retailers and marketing agencies, and Bruce Curling of Microsoft, for joining us on the Bing Shopping Webinar earlier this week.

Want to learn more about improving results on Bing Shopping? Download your Copy of GoDataFeed's Bing Shopping Optimization Tips

Whether or not you were able to attend, we have recapped below some of the most frequently asked questions about Bing Shopping's new program:

Q: Are merchants who were already accepted into Bing Cashback grandfathered into Bing Shopping, or do we have to re-apply?
A: Bing Cashback merchants will automatically get their products listed on Bing Shopping and do not need to re-apply. Bing Shopping still accepts the same Cashback format, just disregard the commission field.

Q: How long does it take to get approval after submitting the request form.
A: Bing Shopping should have each application approved within 5 working days.

Q: How do we sign up for this program?
A: Merchants can request a Bing Shopping application directly from the GoDataFeed team

Q: How long does it take to see listing on Bing Shopping?
A: All products in all feeds take about two weeks to show up on the live site after they are initially dropped on the FTP. The time required to match the entire catalog and post it to the live site can vary and depends on a number of factors (size of catalog, richness of data, etc). Bing Shoping performs an initial matching to ensure that all products are properly merchandised and ensure search relevance. In short, Bing Shopping's team takes a little more time on the front end to ensure that you have a great experience over the long term with their program.

Q: Bing has "MerchantCategory" and "BingCategory". Can you clarify the difference and what they should look like?
A: Bing's Categories are top-level departments, while the Merchant Category you provide, detail deeper categories and subcategories. For instance, if you sell housewares, your products may be categorized in Bing Shopping's "Home Furnishings," department, and your Merchant Category will be "Home & Garden > Bedding> Sheets.

Q: Where do you draw the reviews and ratings from?
A: We receive a feed from Reseller Ratings. You can get more details on the Reseller Ratings website: http://www.resellerratings.com/merchant-solutions

Q: Will products expire after 30 days?
A: Products will expire after 45 days,if they are not refreshed (i.e. a new feed is uploaded) We do recommend submitting feeds daily, weekly, or at minimum, monthly.

Q: Is Bing shopping available for Canadians?
A: Currently, Bing only accepts US-based merchants, but is working on expanding international acceptance in the future.

            FindGift makes Gift-Giving Easy...In Time for Mother's Day

            With one of the biggest gift-giving holidays nearing on May 9th, Mother’s Day, we would like to welcome our guest blogger, Gary, from FindGift.com, one of GoDataFeed's Gift-Specialty Shopping Channel partners. FindGift is a gift giving search engine that helps shoppers find unique gift ideas, making it a great place to list your gift-centric products.

            Greetings from FindGift!

            What is FindGift.com? Findgift.com is a gift ideas search engine. Shoppers typically come to FindGift.com looking for a gift for someone not knowing what to get them. This differs from most shopping engines where people know what they want and they are just trying to find who has it. In essence, FindGift is a personal gift advisor that understands the latest trends.

            FindGift leverages a 'Hand-Picking' Editorial Process
            FindGift's staff reviews your feed to build a targeted campaign, adding your products to the appropriate age, gender, categories, occasions, holidays and expressions. FindGift doesn't blindly publish your entire feed, it's team hand picks and categorizes products into the thousands of categories. Our "hands-on" editorial process fosters higher conversions for your products.

            What you Need to Know about FindGift:

            Flat Rate Pricing
            We have a simple flat rate pricing model. Merchants that want to send feeds must partner at a minimum of $500.

            On a budget? We also have rates less than $500 too for those who do not participate in the feed program or want to initiate a small non-feed trial.

            We work with the merchants to discuss the path an account will grow and our pricing is flat rate making budgeting easy. Our rate card may be found at: http://www.findgift.net/RateCard.shtml. Rates are a very competitive flat rate over the entire site for every category, making it simple to forecast your budget.

            FindGift's Hands-On Approach
            Our staff is actively involved in merchant's accounts. All feeds that arrive are automatically tested and hand reviews as needed for content, photos and appropriate categorization into over 1,400 categories. We find that this hands-on approach gives just the right touch to propel results to higher levels. All products are initially reviewed by an editor before going live.

            FindGift Performance
            Once live, the feed system automatically tracks each product over time and will call for editor attention as needed based on our proprietary monitoring system. Because our staff is involved in your campaign, it is helpful when merchants provide details on best sellers or hot items so we can best understand your offering.

            Qualified Traffic:
            We pre-qualify the shoppers before sending them to the merchant's site. Our model is one in which we display the most frequently asked information before the shopper is sent to the merchant's site and before the merchant is charged. We allow the shopper to see large images, the store logos and contact information upfront. In the end the merchant owns the client.

            With GoDataFeed's built-in FindGift Template, you can actually create a feed to our exact specifications.


            To learn more about FindGift, go to GoDataFeed's Supported Shoppping Channels page.

            Get Found on TheFind.com with its Expanded Datafeed Template, UpFront Program

            GoDataFeed is happy to host Jordan Keffer of theFind.com, one of the Web's best free comparison shopping sites, to let you know exactly how you can:
            • Enhance your online visibility
            • Update your TheFind Feed according to its new feed specifications through GoDataFeed
            • Increase your traffic by an average of 10 percent, just by joining their UpFront Program

            TheFind's New Expanded Feed Specifications
            TheFind's datafeed revisions lets merchants include more details about their products, through its new "highly recommended" attributes, to improve search relevance and performance. The new format includes new attributes like SKU, UPC codes, Free Shipping, Category, Color, Brand attributes and more.

            TheFind also includes a number of Product and Industry Specific Attributes, so if you sell Electronics you can now include product attributes like Format, Battery Life, Display Type, Screen Size, etc... Or if you sell Apparel, you can include details like Age Range, Material, Shoe Size, Sizes in Stock and more.

            While these changes are currently optional, we highly recommend you take advantage of TheFind.com's expanded datafeed format to enhance your visibility. GoDataFeed already provides the new TheFind template within its control panel, simply setup this feed through GoDataFeed to take advantage of the new expanded attributes.

            • Join the UpFront Program Thousands of merchants have already joined. Here are just a few examples: Cymax Stores, Moosejaw, Beach Audio, and Stacks and Stacks. On average, merchants have seen an increase in visibility/traffic of ~10% post joining the program.
            • Upload your tax and shipping information
            • Submit coupons
            • Update your product feeds according to our new feed specification.

            Volusion API failures - GoDataFeed work-around available

            UPDATE (03/08/2010 12:00pm EST): As of this morning Volusion is still working on the fix for this issue, they noted that this might take a day or two to resolve. GoDataFeed has a work-around and so far all Volusion customers experiencing this issue on GoDataFeed have their feeds up and running with our temporary fix. Read more below...

            Those merchants importing their data from Volusion into GoDataFeed may find that the Volusion API is not producing complete data for import, the root of this problem seems to stem from a recent Volusion version and/or feature deployment. While Volusion does not have a time-frame for a fix we trust they are working hard to resolve it.

            In the meantime, if you are experiencing problems with your Volusion import (not all merchants are) please open a support ticket within your GoDataFeed control panel and we'll guide you through a quick work-around that will allow you to submit complete data feeds while Volusion fixes the issue.

            We will continue to communicate with Volusion to find out when they expect a fix.

            Google data feeds uploaded via FTP receiving the data feed file name error

            Update: We can confirm that the Google FTP issue has now been resolved.

            Earlier this week we reported that:

            As of this morning Google Merchant Center is still experiencing FTP issues, their system is not picking up FTP files and sends out a data file name error email. This is a known issue: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/base/thread?tid=04c2d685fe982779&hl=en

            We believe that this should be fixed sometime today, but while the issue persists the following should be done:

            1. Open a ticket with Google notifying them that your account is affected by this issue
            2. Manually download/upload the feed from GoDataFeed to Google Merchant Center

            GoDataFeed Integrates with SearchSpring's Intelligent Search Solution- Webinar March 11th



            GoDataFeed.com and SearchSpring.net team up to help online retailers drive more sales to their site

            Increasing Sales with Intelligent Search
            SearchSpring makes it easier for shoppers to navigate through your site through an intuitive, easy-to-use search interface that delivers the most relevant and accurate product search results. SearchSpring’s enhanced search solution boosts conversion rates and average order sizes with advanced ecommerce site search and navigation for hundreds of online retailers.

            GoDataFeed’s SearchSpring Integration
            Online retailers already submitting their products through GoDataFeed’s shopping feed management solution can easily incorporate SearchSpring to enhance sales and searchability. According to MarketingSherpa, revamping a site’s internal search functionality can increase conversions by 270 percent because online shoppers expect to navigate through sites quickly and find products and accessories within seconds. This means that online retailers that have yet to streamline their search and navigation are missing out on significant sales. The problem is many online stores’ search tools are too basic to deliver the accurate search results that could yield higher sales.

            Better Search Functionality Enhances SEO
            Terms that your customers are using to search your site are valuable terms for which you should be optimizing on the major search engines. SearchSpring automatically discovers thousands of valuable keywords and phrases, and then automatically drives free organic traffic form the major search engines by creating and optimizing search result landing pages.

            ShareASale Shares its Best Practices, Introduces its Aquarium Social Network

            This week, GoDataFeed examines best affiliate practices and looks at ShareASale's innovative affiliate social network, "Aquarium." To explain it, we're pleased to host our guest blogger, Carolyn Tang, Director of Client Services for ShareASale's award-winning affiliate network, who will share ShareASale's best affiliate marketing practices and introduce ShareASale's new "Affiliate Aquarium" social network.

            Greetings GoDataFeed Merchants! Product datafeeds are a great way to maximize your affiliate marketing channel. They enable your affiliates to better merchandise their sites to meet specific consumer demographics, and they allow affiliates to drive shoppers deeper into your site.

            Here are a few key best practices to implement:

            • Product Categorization. Designate a few fields in your datafeed to product categorization. Providing product categories helps affiliates slice and dice your data to best fit their needs. ShareASale offers five custom fields that are perfect for including product data such as: category, sub-category, sale, bestseller, etc. For example, a shopping portal affiliate would get the most out of product categories, while a coupons/deals affiliate would find greater benefit pulling out sale items.

            • Include a SKU or ISBN. When possible, include the product SKU and ISBN number. This is critical for affiliates with product comparison sites.

            • List In-Stock Products. Be sure that your product datafeed is up-to-date with in-stock items. If an affiliate finds too many dead links in your datafeed, the easiest solution for them is to drop your feed.

            • No Direct Links. Don't include any direct links in your product copy.
              Affiliates view direct links in datafeeds as free traffic for merchants, and thus direct links in a datafeed are considered an unethical business practice. If the affiliate uses your datafeed to refresh their site, and after refreshing sees a direct link from their site to yours, with no affiliate tracking in place, they will likely drop your feed. (Note: Direct product links in the product URL field are necessary, as affiliate networks will automatically convert this field to tracking links. Direct links in any other field are not desirable.)

            • Include Image Links. If you have the option, provide the affiliate with both a thumbnail and a large image. Some affiliates are able to auto-resize larger images to meet their site needs, and providing them with a larger image gives them more to work with.

            ShareASale's Affiliate Aquarium
            ShareASale just launched its Affiliate Aquarium, a social community within the ShareASale network where merchants and affiliates can communicate freely. Merchants and affiliates can create profiles, blogs, groups, events and update their status. Aquarium users are also able to search for other users by keyword or function, making it easy to reach out to merchants and affiliates with mutual interests.

            If you're already on ShareASale, and want to check out the Affiliate Aquarium, just login to your account and see the link for “Affiliate Aquarium” and the bottom right side of the main menu.

            If you're not on ShareASale and are interested in expanding your visibility through affiliate marketing, take advantage of ShareASale's introductory offer for new GoDataFeed merchants-- Contact Us to learn more.

            About Carolyn
            As the director of Client Services for ShareASale.com, Carolyn Tang is responsible for building solid relationships between affiliates and merchants within the network, and for ensuring that the needs of all shareholders are communicated and resolved.
