    At the moment none of us have any assurance of where we will be. This will be fun to watch.

    Did you find out if they're allowing bulk submissions now? Also, any reccomendation on the best way to submit articles?

    I reported him too so don't worry...Not to win the competition (mightyb - If I accidentally win, you can have the prize) but because it was the perfect situation to test if they do remove reported spam.

    So far that is one good result to figuring out the process.

    By the way, whoever gave the red for turning this into a serious analysis, sod off - THis is a webmaster forum

    When google base first launched they had options to upload from rss and xml so you could just import your blog on a scheduled basis.

    Almost all of the mass upload tools are gone now =( I am guessing that they were just overloaded from people using this to import there froogle feeds and stuff like that.

    Thanks for ratting me out also... :)

    Keyword stuffing: If you'd like to include keywords with your item, please
    use the "labels" attribute. Content outside the "labels" attribute must be
    in descriptive, logical sequences. For example, please remove the keyword
    "DigitalPoint Member" from the "occupation", "Education", and "Sexual
    Orientation" attributes.
    - Gee, nobody is doing this but me? haha

    Base is very simple, there is no way to really SEO it, stuffing will still win.

    This is silly stuff, there is money to be made!

    in a round about way that is what we are all trying to figure out ;)

    This is good stuff to know cause a little birdy told me that by q3 of this year they hope to have google classifieds (google base) ready to be integrated with other organic search stuff. It was explained to me as kind of a cross between the book database and froogle.

    meaning like you would see "search for $keyword on google classifieds?"

    Or you could also see "check out other people interested in $keyword"
