What is a feed?
9
Simple Answer: Export of all products and features in excel type doc
Longer Answer: Database of all products and attributes aligned by column to ‘plug into’ a system to show pictures with descriptions
used in Amazon, shopping engines (shopping.com, buy.com), Bing
Feed Manipulation: Garbage in, garbage out
No Keywords to shoot for…Google crawls feed Important to be able to move fields, add fields, add keywords etc Recommend GoDataFeed for almost every company
