    Exclamation Google Shopping Glitches

    Google Shopping is only showing by listings when specifically searching for the product Barcodes. What can be done to get them in the mainstream TITLE SEARCH listings?

    I noticed http://uk.ebid.net/perl/normal.cgi?u...ing&type=buyer has 8+ feedback of which Google have imported up to December 3rd. 5th and 12th of December feedback is missing.

    Does that mean eBid or Google Shopping is terribly slow?

    I'm very impatient to find out given the recurring fees I am being charged, whilst having no views, let alone sales.

    I think you are jumping to conclusions. What Glitch do you mean.

    Your Titles do need some modifications.

    Searching barcodes on Google Shopping bring up my listings, but the likes of HALO 4 appear separately to all other retailers, which you can sort by lowest price etc. How do I get them mainstream? What title modifications are you referring/ suggesting?

    I found the example given by Pasteing and copying your complete title into Google Shopping.

    So I would suggest that you do not use any special characters, brackets, dashes etc.

    But concentrate on key words only for your titles.

    Halo 4 Xbox 360

    How much simpler could it be? Searching that fails.

    Thanks for the suggestion - I've added NEW to the end of the title!

    I have just found that "Item Attributes" is directly related. How can this be used with MEDIA and it doesn't look like you can edit this section on listed products.

    Yes its not an exact science.

    Found another one of your listings on page 7 of 8 of GS searching using the title.

    some one else can help with attributes and media mr dean when hes about

    just seen you added new thats good but a small but it should be lower case google dont like capitals except at the begining of a word also after looking at a few similar listing you could put game in the title as it is a game rather than the box its self apply this to all your listings, mr dean will help you as well im sure

    Why is it the titles are being imported to Google with the Capitals Missing?

    E.g. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (Xbox 360) becomes Call of duty: black ops ii (xbox 360)

    Maybe this is partly to blame for not appearing in the mix of all retailers? Can it be fixed?
