One of my clients, session music, has a product feed (using the api) and unfortunately, none of his products will show up in google product search (though I believe that they did at some point in the past!). A lot of the products are marked as disapproved though I cannot see the reason why. In the past some of these products did have short descriptions and invalid identifiers but I have created longer descriptions for all of them and remove the invalid identifiers (since a lot of his products do not have an official identifier). The xml of a product that is disapproved:
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";><app:control xmlns:app="http://purl.org/atom/app#";><g:publishing_priority xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0";>high</g:publishing_priority></ app:control><g:item_type type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ ns/1.0">products</g:item_type><g:condition type="text" xmlns:g="http:// base.google.com/ns/1.0">New</g:condition><g:price type="floatUnit" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0";>59.99 gbp</ g:price><g:product_type type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/ 1.0">Media > Music</g:product_type><g:target_country type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0";>GB</g:target_country><g:id type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0";>4816</g:id><g:link type="url" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0";>http:// www.sessionmusic.co.uk/karaokediscpack/Music-Maestro/Music-Maestro-Blues-in-the-Night-Pack.aspx</g:link><title type="text">Music Maestro Blues in the Night Pack</title><content type="text">Music Maestro Blues in the Night Pack</content></entry> However, there are many products that are listed as searchable but still do not show in product search at all! Can anyone give me a clue as to why my products would a) be disapproved and b) not show even when they are approved! The only thing support keep repeating is to check that they are not blocked from visiting the product urls! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
