I doubt that any one from Google Affiliate Network ever read my recent rant. However todays e-mail from Larry Adams, the network’s product manager, caught me off guard. Just as I made a decision to concentrate on other affiliate networks that provide easy access to product data feeds, Larry shares that Google Affiliate Network, is introducing few changes:
On October 11, we plan to release a new feature in our user interface that will enable you to sign up for and configure data feeds.
If you have missed his e-mail make sure to dig it up as you may need to act and update some of the settings in your account.
I personally welcome this change, as it will definitely make things much easier for many publishers.
Starting on October 11, you will be able to subscribe to merchants data feeds via FTP. While you will have to point all your data feeds to one location. It looks that this option will be available to every publisher and will be configurable from within your account.
