Answer
Kool I will have to watch my hits from Froogle and see if they increase. Thanks for the heads up.
Answer
This will be helpful. The statement on Google under "What's new" reads:
*****************************
Froogle - Shopping, Google-style
If you’re shopping for something online, start at Froogle. Search millions of products from stores across the web and sort them by price. And just as with Google, your results are totally unbiased since merchants don't pay to be included.
You’ll find Froogle "product search" listings at the top of your results page when you use Google. Or go directly to Froogle by clicking the "Froogle" link on the Google home page.
****************************************
I don't see "Product Search" but Froogle is on the top of the Google page.
Next, I guess, we will explore ways of getting eBay listings, eBay Stores and websites included and with better position.
Google has put a lot of time and effort into developing Froogle and I expect they will do a good job promoting the use of this service.

Answer
As for websites I have been submitting for over a year. Ebay and Froogle need to work out their differences in order for Ebay stores to get listed. I don't see that happening any time soon. Battles between 800lb gorillas take a long time.
Answer
Will using a doorway website, such as www.MyeBayStoreName.com, allow Froogle to find the Store in spite of eBay blocking?
I guess I'll try and see what happens but some means of getting Stores "seen" by Froogle would be helpful.
They are being included in Google. So are the Affiliates using my listing titles but not pointing to or even including my listings but that is another issue.

Answer
If you're confused on how to get items into Froogle, you might look at listing at Ioffer - if you have fixed priced items they'll automatically put them through to Froogle.....
I see my Yahoo Auctions are also there without me having to do any work 8) and my own website is pulled into as well, but doesn't show up until like page 10 of the searches I've been doing 8)
Answer
You have to do submission to be in the top listings. The lower tier items are the ones Google spiders find. Ioffer, Yahoo, Tias and Ruby Lane submit feeds for their customers.
Answer
My Ioffer and Yahoo listings are in the top area - they're not in the "pulled off website" section, if that's the different sections you're referring to.
Answer
Yes Yahoo and Ioffer submit your listings for you. Some sites know how to assist their customers and others just want a hand in your pocket. Been helping a lady do feeds all afternoon and when we do a feed it shows in Froogle within a hour. Now you can't beat that.
