I have started seeing listings from Froogle in the Google search results. I personally use Froogle before I buy something and I think integrating Froogle in Google's results pages is a very clever idea. How can I get my website listed in those Froogle listings? If I can do that, then I am sure I will get lots of sales. Can you discuss such methods?

Answer:

Froogle is Google’s shopping search engine and has become more and more popular of late, especially after Google integrated results from Froogle in its primary search results. This will no doubt increase Froogle’s popularity and it is likely that Froogle will become a good sales generator if you are ranked well in Froogle.

How friendly is your website design for Froogle?

In order to make your website friendlier to Froogle, it is important to follow basic HTML fundamentals. The product name, description, picture and price should be close to each other. If you are using tables, try to put these into one cell. If you are listing many products on a single page, make sure that you use a separator. This can simply be a horizontal line with the <hr> tag. If you cannot put a horizontal line, try putting every product into its own table.

Keywords in Title and Headings

Froogle, like Google, pays great attention to the Title tag of the page, the Heading tags, and the sentences that describe your products. Make sure to include your keywords in them. Do not use the same keyword more than twice in your title and headings.
