Data feed optimization for the shopping comparison engines

Windows Live Product Upload Beta

I’ve gotten a couple emails from people looking for help creating feeds (Catalogs) for Windows Live Product Upload as the list of required and optional data feed fields is lost at the bottom of the help section. I’m sending along some suggestions to the Product Upload team later this week and will let them know to call out this section better, but for now, I wanted to at least pass along the information.

There are currently 5 required fields:
-OfferName (aka product name)
-ActionURL (aka link for product)
-RegularPrice (aka price of product)
-ReferenceImageURL (aka image URL)
-OfferDescription (aka description)

There are also 5 optional fields:
-Brand
-CurrentPrice (if different from regular price)
-UPC
-ISBN
-AMGID (All Music Guide ID)
-MerchantCategory (merchant site categorization)

I’ll fill you in on the quirks of the system, but for now, wanted to make sure to get the basics out there. Now go and sign up.

  1. Is expo.live.com working? I tried their blog and it was dead. Last thread was on Nov of last year by Samir.

    I would like to my feed listed and uploaded to their site, and am already doing so with Google Base and a lot of others.

    Thanks,
