Guest dorianrave Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 First I'd like to thank all those who initially gave me pointers when I finished my site for www.americanbayri.com, the site is doing well and I am getting good sales. Second, I've submitted several feeds to froogle for items that I'm selling at my online store. The feeds have been successfully submitted expect for the pictures. I believe this has to do with the permission setting for the pictures but I have played with it a bit and can't resolve the issue. Is there anyone out there that can give me some advice on how to get the pictures to show when I submit the feed to froogle? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roban Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 As long as the links to your pictures are valid I cannot understand why they don't show in Froogle. Were there any errors on your feed? Can you give us the address of your shop in Froogle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aikdo Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Also make sure your server doesn't have hot picks enabled that stops images from being remotly used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dorianrave Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I checked the address to the pictures and it appears to be correct, I also did not receive any errors on my feed. Store address for Froogle is: store:manager_ravesvideocreations_com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aikdo Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 If im right and your website is http://www.americanbayri.com ... then google is linking to the following images, http://www.americanbayri.com/store/images/...0002resized.jpg which you will see is throwing up a 403 Forbiden error... This is due to your servers HOT_Link setup as i mentioned... it disalowes any access to images unless strictly linked to by one of your images... Example at end... Forbidden You don't have permission to access /store/images/uploads/ABOG0002resized.jpg on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.americanbayri.com Port 80 Check again to make sure the links are correct http://www.americanbayri.com/store/images/...0002resized.jpg EXAMPLE linking to your image link taken directly from site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roban Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Interesting. My teeshirt store has only one image shown on Froogle and the image links are all screwed up, while my vitamin store has no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
