Feedonomy Product Listings. You will not find any advertising in BrowSearch, “Browse & Search” Why is advertising no longer important? We have become accustomed to tuning out advertising and marketing messages because we don’t like interruptions in our habit-formed lives. And we’re skeptical of the message’s ads bring us. In fact, most of us feel ads don’t bring much value to our lives, just more distraction. I thought it may just be my imagination. But some time ago I noticed myself trying to skip anything that had the term ‘advertisement’ or ‘sponsored‘ I tried to skip past those blocks without even doing it consciously. 

Read about the benefits of adding your product ads manually. All shopping carts and product layouts are different. The same when you remove formatting from your product catalogue. Small things like Price may come before Sale Price. It is not about one being right and the others wrong. We find this between Google Ads product feed csv and Facebook Product Ads csv or Microsoft Product Ads csv. When Microsoft says you can use your Google Product Feed csv. to upload your products to Google or Google to Facebook it is not 100% true. It is almost identical but still one or two rows or columns will need to be changed.  Thus by adding a product ad manually to the Feedonomy Merchant Center, then exporting it to the Feedonomy Product Feed csv. You can quickly compare it to your Google Product Feed csv. and if you creating a Google Product Feed in minutes using the single product fix a hundred or thousands product listings. Or take your Google Product Feed csv and convert it to the Feedonomy Product Feed csv. Thus saving you hours instead of having to add all listings manually, or working it out by trial and error even if using the app, extension or plugin that promised you 100% perfection on your first trial!

The benefit of adding product ads manually was unique to Feedonomy up until 23 December 2023. Feedonomy, explained to Google Ads that by denying advertisers to view their listings in real time only increases costs as Feedonomics product feed management, and Feedonomy product feed management  were now mandatory for corporate product advertising the simple reason is imagine you decided to list your products on Amazon you were paying 7-24% success fee on every product sold plus $400.00 per month. It becomes expensive. If you know had to hire Feedonomy or Feedonomics to optimize your each product ads or your entire product feed it would cost an extra 15-35% of revenue that is about the same as what advertising cost on any advertising network. The average spend if you ask any agency is 10-15% of your annually or monthly revenue should go towards advertising. But, then you add your agency cost and your product feed management costs Google Ads is costing you over 35% of revenue the highest advertising cost in the history of our planet.  That was until we realized why Google Ads created analytics, opportunities for agencies, and opportunity for product feed management. Google could have been looking short term and gotten to keep exta revenue in the short terms or they could be smart and build ad agencies, product feed management companies, Google Ad Sense you see they have even monopolized the market that would pay cents on the dollar to advertise on your or my website. You see by including the agencies, feeds, monetization of all sites and Google Ads Free. The plugins and trouble they have gone to offering you and me the opportunity to list all out product ads on Google Ads free of charge.  Let me ask you why is it that content creators, I am not referring to ‘The Pretoria Barn Dance’ or  ‘Melanie’s Vetkoek Palace’ or group on Facebook. I reffer to the calibe of content that BBC, HBO & The History Channel’ would love to purchase the rights to. The content mobies, documentaries produced by the leading YouTube creators that I am sure you would agree when I say some of these creators are highly professional and produce as good and even better content than Netflix but they are literally begging for donations I remember reading just “Buy them a cup of coffee per week” In other words due to their inclusion and online presence they manage to pay once cent to dollars for content that would normally be auctioned for millions of (USD) just like channels bid for The Iron Crown, The Royal, Breaking bad’  The reason Google offer free advertising for product ads is not to promote your comp[any or products but they are taking advertage of human nature. Most of us after learning how to create a Google Product Feed, and the Google Merchant Center, even fact Microsoft/Bing Ads Product Feed or Facebook Product Feed are just as good some may say better there are tiny differences like IOS & Google but much less so. However if humans are used to the way Google Product Feeds work when they decided to start paid advertisng what is called a Shopping Campaign the chances that we will remain with Google is over 90%? Becuase that is how humans operate. Furthermore  some olf us might like to believe Google Ads Free wants us to remain with them when we begin to pay for advertising that is why they may not provide 100% success or a great search improvment but at least a fair improvment more hits more clicks more sales; have it wrong. Googles revenue from advertising accounts for over 90% of their entire global revenue now if they wanted to buy loyalty and give free advertisers at least a fair return on free Google Ads no one would advertise. Or lets say their revenue will drop by 50% overnight. Firstly they cannot give free advertisers a fair return becuase if you and I recieved fair returns from Google, Microsoft, Facebook nono of us would pay for advertrsing. The next question is then why do they do it. Why do they go to such trouble, I mean it suddenly you can email Google or even get a qick return call if it is about advertising. They do it to grab market share the same thing they did with Android OS. The same thing they did and keep doing by including so many partners Google partners from agencies, product feed management was there but was not everywhere until advertising now guess how many partners they have something that was a complex complicated application but together with selling ads, analytics, and even organizations like DAA. Look it up its one of the many policing or watchdog organizations like the British Advertising Board or The Coal Board or the Estate Agents Board these non profit police/consumer protection agents the same people who are supoposed to protect consumers and advertisers from crooked or un kosher schemes now imagine if the lead of Police, the police chief and the head of the global corruption watchdog chairman was the individual responsible for corruption, and are the cries committed were committed by the chairman of this organization.  In South Africa we had Jacob “Jackie” Selebi the National Commissioner of the South African Police Service was also a former President of African National Congress Youth League, South African ambassador to the United Nations from 1995 to 1998, and President of Interpol Found guilty of corruption on 2 July 2010. I am only trying to make a point. How can the biggest supplier of digital advertising also be the founder and have control of digital advertising globally. How does that protect advertisers and consumers.    

While each product Feed csv file is slightly different. That does not mean Google Ads Product Feed is correct and Facebook Product Feed csv is wrong.

What determines my XXX Ad position?

XXX Advertising is a pay-per-click (PPC) advertising system. You bid based on how much you are willing to pay per each click on your ad. Because webpages have a limited number of places to show ads, not true for most product ads! We auction those spaces. You are bidding against other advertisers to get your ads into the space you want. nonsense So, if you bid on the keyword “shoe”, you will have to beat the bids of the other advertisers who are also bidding on “shoe.” You determine how much you are willing to bid.
Your ad position is based on several things, including:

• How your bid compares to other bids in the XXX Advertising auction.
• How strongly your ad has performed in the past and how often it has been clicked (click-through rate).
• Once again based on your past bids! If you honestly believe XXX Free Ads is something other than ‘the great ad grab’ like the way Africa was grabbed by European powers from around 1880.  It only about market share.  If you cannot see it! Then great remain in the casino. Remember the casino always wins. While a small number of ecommerce giants are willing and able to dominate; simply put they have the funds and economies of scale. If you hoping to grow your business you need a new strategy. 

The stronger you are in these areas, the better your chances of winning the top ad position. In other words, your ads will do great as long as you outbid or bid more than companies like Amazon who may be spending $100 million (USD) with each of leading advertising networks.  Walmart, Best Buys, not to mention thousands and thousands of others that will probably outbid you without even trying.
