Live Product Upload – Bad News and Good News February 9th, 2009
Here’s a quick update on Live Product Upload…
All merchants trying to sign up for Live Product Upload are running into the same problem that we explained last week: merchants are being put on a waiting list. If you have an existing Live Product Search account, great, SingleFeed can deliver your feed. If you were interested in getting up on this engine, we’re sorry. We were unaware of the freeze on new accounts. Our mistake.
To make it up to you, we will be adding another engine, Live CashBack, this month! This engine is also free to list on (you only pay if you get a conversion), but should provide even more value to you as a merchant since Microsoft will be pushing Cashback this year. Microsoft announced Cashback last year, with Bill Gates saying: “We believe search can offer much more value to consumers and advertisers than it does today, and we see Live Search Cashback as an important opportunity to deliver additional value. Our goal is to make Live Search the most rewarding commercial search destination on the Web. Live Search Cashback will help advertisers drive more online sales while giving consumers a new way to stretch their dollars.”
We’re working with the Live Cashback team and will let you know as we get closer to activating the engine on SingleFeed.
Thanks!
