Have Google Shopping show site listings instead of Amazon and eBay listings
-
An e-commerce site I'm currently working with also has storefronts on eBay and Amazon. When searching Google Shopping, their Amazon and eBay product listings come up but NOT their primary site's listings.
Can anyone shed some light on how to a) feed the main site's products to Google Shopping and subsequently b) have Google remove the eBay and Amazon listings?
Obviously, this would be a boon to business and hey wouldn't have to pay the Amazon and eBay fees associated with each sale.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Carl,
Are you using the same information in your feeds that are being sent to Google, Amazon, and Ebay? If not, that could be a reason your Amazon & Ebay listings are outranking your primary site’s listings.
If you are sending the same information, the reason may be because you need to increase your product bids. Products in a very competitive category with low bids will have a very hard time gaining exposure because they’re ranked so low. Try increasing your product bids until you start seeing your primary site’s listings outrank the Amazon & Ebay listings or rank beside them in the SERPs.
Regarding your second question, you actually don’t want to remove any listings from the Amazon and Ebay store fronts. Removing the listings will only decrease the amount of coverage you’ll receive on the SERPs and lower your traffic. If you keep the listings on Amazon & Ebay, you’ll have three times the coverage (the Amazon listing, Ebay listing, and your primary site’s listing). Yes, you’ll be paying Amazon and Ebay the costs associated with those clicks, but you’ll still have an ROI that’s better than no ROI at all.
Also, your account could be under a random review. We’ve been seeing this happen to various accounts in the past few weeks. You can read more about it here.
Hope this clarifies some things!

Google Remarketing Conversions - Possible Issue
Hi All, When it comes to Google Adwords, when considering conversions, Google assigns each conversion back to the click that originally drove that visitor on the day they clicked. so, even if someone converts today, Google would show that conversion as occurring two weeks ago when the visitor originally clicked on a paid search ad and came to my site. fine...whatever. My question now is if we use a remarketing campaign through the Display Network, and someone converts, will that conversion be shown under their new visit or back on their original click where they did not originally convert, causing them to be included in our remarketing audience? Cant seem to find a straight answer anywhere and hoping someone out there has some guidance.

14,000+ links a to one site - is this a problem?
First, thanks to those who have helped me before. Second, according to Google Webmaster there are about 14,765 external links to my site. According to Open Site Explorer I have 22. So a couple of questions: 1. Why such a discrepancy? 2. Of the 14,765 links shown in Google Webmaster 14,665 are all from one place and all link to my home page. The site is interiordesignproductfinder.com. In August of this year I bought a sponsorship there. There are several of these sponsors so which show up on a rotating basis. Will having 14,765 links all of a sudden showing up be grounds for some type of a Google downgrade? Why are there 14, 765 links instead of just one. Is a new link created every time our sponsorship rotates to the page? Another thing, in the past couple of months our conversions have dropped significantly. we average about 180 visits a day with a 50% bounce rate. Is there anything obvious thatt might have caused this drop? Thanks for any insights. Don www.uniquegiftsanddecor.com

Lookiing for examples of local "small biz" sites with phone or contact form conversion points
Hi Guys, I'm looking for any good examples of small business sites that you've come across that do a good job at converting potential visitors to clients. I'm primarily thinking about service oriented business such as Doctors, Dentists, Salons, Clothing stores, small restuarants, car detailing services, local photographers, etc. I'm just trying to digest other examples and look for new inspirations.
