Submit your Products to Froogle

It costs nothing to reach thousands or possibly millions of online shoppers by listing your items with Froogle, Google's free shopping search engine. You can link each one of your products in the Froogle search directly with your website.

For example, if you sell coffee mugs and someone does a search in Froogle for mugs then your products will be listed in the search results.

What is Froogle?

Froogle, Google's shopping search engine, applies the power of Google's search technology to one very specific task: locating sellers that offer the item a buyer wants to find and pointing them directly to the website where they can buy it.

The search results also provide multiple sites where the product can be purchased, with the ability see and compare the various prices of each vendor.

How do I get my products listed in Froogle?

In order to list your products, a product feed (or bulk upload file) must be submitted directly to Google by uploading either a tab delimited or xml file. The file is then processed by Google and within 24 hours your products will be listed.

There is however, one catch. Unlike the Google search engine, the products listed in Froogle are only listed for a few weeks. Google does this to maintain accurate and up-to-date product information. Therefore it is suggested that you re-submit your product file once a week.

How can Froogle Help My Business?

Froogle provides you with the opportunity to have your company’s products indexed and accessible to thousands of buyers looking for products like yours. The Internet is a numbers game; the more content you have indexed, the greater chance you have to be discovered.

If you are an online product company then listing your products in Froogle should be one of the first priorities to help increase the exposure of your products on the Internet and offer the opportunity to be discovered by your consumers.
