Google Product Search (formerly known as Froogle) is a shopping comparison service launched by Google.

Unlike most other price comparison websites, Google Product Search charges no fees for listing products or no commission on sales.

How it Works

If you owned an e-commerce store selling 'tripod bags' and someone performs a search on Google Product Search for 'manfrotto tripod bag', your products would be listed with a link to your website. Searches can then be sorted by relevance or by price. You can also search for items in specific online stores.

Reasons why you should list your products on Google Products

• Google will sometimes show Product Search results above organic listings.

• Product search listings take visitors directly into your specific product web pages.

• Competition for keywords is often substantially much less than within Google Product Search results.

• Assists the general reliance and also cost of using Pay-Per-Click.

• Google Product Search is compatible in Wireless Mark-up Language (WML) and so can be accessed from mobile phones or other wireless devices.
 

Limitations of implementing Google Products Search
• Google Product Search is not able to automatically import your products.
• Google Product Search is unable to determine when you delete products or amend pricing.
• Google will remove your product feed, unless your Google product feed is updated at least every 30 days.

Many e-shop systems already do a good of creating Google Products feeds. However, some will not automatically upload your feed to Google. In this case, products may be at risk unless you resubmit every month.
