The feed to the website you put the tiny link to earlier in this thread, has 663 products in it.

Open the all_products.xml in IE7, then right click on the page and select "View Source". It will open the XML in a notepad file, then select all and copy it.

Now open notepad 2 and paste it all in there.

Now press "CTRL + H" to find and replace, and choose a tag that each product definitely has, but only once in each product, something like

<g:brand>
or
<item>
will do it.

Now find and replace that same tag, it will show you how many times it found and replaced it, which in your feed case is 663 times, meaning there is 663 products in your feed.

You need to ask Google what the matter is, as at the moment, it looks fine to me, but i cant check all the items against each other.

I expect it will be one of the following issues

You have products in duplicate categories, which means you have the same Product ID number being used more than once which bans the product (I'm working on a fix for that at the moment, which should be released after next weekend)

You have products with blank fields, such as price, manufacturer, etc.

But Google will definitely tell you what it is.

Ian

I dont know why, but it appears that the feed is duplicating the products, which is what i was saying earlier. This only usually happens if you have child products or the same product in multiple categories, is that how you have your site set up?

That product, actually none of the pepper sprays have child products. The hidden cameras have child products. But I have all the child products named differently. For instance, If the main product is a Back Pack Hidden Camera, I have the model # within the name of the children. ( Back Pack Hidden Camera - HC-BCKPK-G-HP-X) .. So I shouldnt be getting any duplicates.

I think there is something going on with the way the xml is being generated basicly because I didnt have any of the problems before I upgraded. It always indexed over 600 products, no errors..

The reason I asked where the feed is pulling the items from is because I am not using the standard mod_virtuemart. I have a hacked version that displays only categories which I set it to display. If you notice on my site I have two seperate category modules showing different categories.. Can this be a cause?

Thank you for bearing with me. Youve been very helpful with my millions of questions and problems. Im just frusterated because G-Base is / was my best converter..

Its the ID Number that it works from, which will be duplicated, even if all products and categories are named different, if the ID number is the same, it will be declined by Google.

I am making it so that it builds the ID number at the moment, so it adds
Product ID + Category ID + Child ID
so for example
12-32-63
Will be the product id number, Ive gone into detail about this on another thread somewhere, ill try and dig it out later on.

Regards
Ian
