Do you need a Bing Feed? I can format anyone's Google Product Feed into a Bing Feed File. All I need is your Google Product Feed File. Once finished, all you will need to do is upload your new file in your Highwire admin File Browser under the "Appearance" tab. Once uploaded, you copy and paste the files URL into your Bing account. You may email me your Google Feed at support@thesportsmansshack.com. Please put "Bing Feed" in the subject line. When I have finished reformatting your feed(within 24 hours Monday-Friday)  I will email you. Then you may purchase your feed via digital download on my site here: http://www.thesportsmansshack.com/products/feeds for $25.

If you search my product titles on Bing Shopping. You will find most on their first page, with the big dogs in my industry.

To send us your file: Go to your Google Merchant Center under the Marketing tab on your Highwire Dashboard and download your feed file next to your feed file URL.

Your new Bing file will contain these tabs:
1. Title
2. Description
3. ProductURL
4. MPID
5. Price
6. Condition
7. ImageURL

Just to let everyone know, I had Travis do our Bing feed and I highly recommend him.  If you have not updated your Bing feed lately, this would be a good time.

Bing just made this announcement:

Dear Merchant,

Bing Shopping is committed to being the best starting point for people that want to make informed decisions and complete shopping related tasks. In that spirit, we are thrilled to announce a new partnership with Shopping.com that enhances our existing merchant listing program.

With this new partnership we are making the following changes to benefit you and the Bing shopper:

  1. Higher visibility: Paid offers will be highlighted throughout Bing Shopping, including search result and product pages. Look for additional visibility, such as exposure within Bing’s editorial content and rich product ad placements in the near future. We are prioritizing offers ingested from Shopping.com for these new opportunities.
  2. Quality experience: Better data helps power a richer and more engaging experience for all of our users. We are leveraging Shopping.com’s unified product and offer data to deliver the highest quality customer experience while continuing to maximize selection through our existing program.
  3. Efficiency: You will now be able to manage your feeds using Shopping.com’s industry-leading tools across Bing Shopping and the Shopping.com network.

The increased visibility placements will be available in Bing Shopping by November 1st. To take advantage of these opportunities for the upcoming holiday season, contact Shopping.com at merchantsupport@shopping.com.

We value our relationship with all our merchant partners and look forward to continuing our relationship as you take advantage of the new opportunities presented above.

Regards,

The Bing Team

 

If you read though the whole FAQ, you will see that if you have a PAID Shopping.com listing they will give that listing priority over a listing fed directly to Bing.   I don't know about you, but it doesn't look like it's a good idea to have a Shopping.com account. Does anyone have any experience with Shopping.com which is owned by eBay?
