Froogle Local - Real Florists' Big Opportunity?

[CHR]

Google announced the addition of Froogle local merchant search yesterday.

Could this be a significant breakthrough in separating local florists from OG's?

Too busy today to have a full look at the details but here's the "how to".

Anyone have any advice for easily creating a tab-delimited or XML file for uploading?

Anyone already showing products on Froogle? I know Froogle's traffic has been disappointing. Perhaps this is just the angle they've needed to take off.

Google Base Uploads

Just got a few items up and they're already showing on Google Base. http://base.google.com/base/search?q=flowers&nd=0&a_n152=location&a_y152=6&a_s152=0&a_o152=0&a_v152=anaheim+ca&a_t152=45&scoring=aa_152&us=1

Don't know how long it takes for the data to migrate over to Froogle but Local Search doesn't seem that intuitive from Froogle, yet.

Anybody else going to give this program a shot? The price is right - It's free.

If you are refering to creating a google sitemap I can help you but to be honest I haven't seen any kind of results from doing this. You have my email just let me know.
