We are in a similar market as Google Base but our product gives structure (while still not imposing any set of predefined categories) to our index and therefore makes it possible for users to not only perform keyword search but also browse hierarchically with the ability to specify unlimited number of filters to refine their search.

Anyone seeing any traffic bumps or boosts out of submitting something to Google Base?

I’ve tried to do the uploads numerous times in the past week. I may be doing something wrong but between ebay/google/IE, there sure is something wrong doing a simple upload. Wish they were’nt all on vacation.
I’ll use my time more wisely.

Oh well, Happy Holidays anyways.

Well…it works for me. I dont think I’m going to get any major increase in traffic but I have been able to upload a couple of articles with tags and they’re easily found.

If (as they say) results will also be included in search engine results then this is a valuable tool. As to how they will control spam & relevancy – that remains to be seen in time.

Eh, you guys DID notice it says “Google Base Beta” in the logo? So this is hardly a “launched service” yet.

Maybe it is just me but I am smelling a simillar service to Technorati and del.icio.us. Google finds a great idea and then uses their muscle to overpower everyone. I am not complaining of course, Google does a good job at this. But Google is also spammed like crazy and this just adds a new “insider” element to tags. :(

notice when you do a search it has “report bad item” underlined after the serp , so this may cut down on spam and hijinks

FYI, I found your website by searching GoogleBase for “blogging.” Your profile was listed in the search results, but the link takes me here to your blog. I wasn’t able to actually view all of your profile until I came here and followed your direct link to it.

Sounds like a confused attempt to out-do wikipedia.org to me.

I am completely confused.

Here’s Google apparently giving us an opportunity to tag our content so that they can more easily know what it is and provide more accurate results.

Great: why don’t they let us do that with Sitemaps? Why can’t we add tags there that would tell Google what our pages are about? The accepted answer has always been because that would let us lie to Google and they’d prefer to make their own analysis. So how the heck does Google Base fit in then? Why is it OK here but not OK for Sitemaps?

It looks to me like we can just take the RSS feeds we’re producing anyway, add the Google namespace and tags we want, and just give them that..

Or to look at it the other way: why do we have to do Sitemaps if we have this? Is this intended to replace and extend Sitemaps??

It is SOO confusing – they’ve done a simply horrible job positioning and presenting this.

Thanks for the heads up on that Nathan, I have updated my post about it and provided a link to your for more info.

Darren. Great work on the updates. They are very informative, so I have made mention on my post of Google Base and directing my visitors to you. Great review.

Oh, I should have clarified in my article. Google Base doesn’t change words for you, it doesn’t let you use certain words, so I had to change them. Sorry. I’m adding a clarification.
