Just a quick note...

Hello Everybody,

I just wanted to make a quick entry here to further explain our site. The main thing I want to focus in on is how Zoocaro.com handles XML feeds.

So as you may know Zoocaro.com will except a product XML feed from a seller. The thing to note is that those items do not post directly to our main site. Those items only post to that sellers "Zoocaro seller page". From there a seller may choose to post those items to the zoocaro main page but it is not required.

Many seller have asked can all of my items just be posted to the main site?

The answer to that question is no. We do not allow sellers to upload all of their products to the Zoocaro site. We set up the site this way to give both large and small companies equal opportunity. Many smaller companies do not have the means to create XML files so we want to be able to offer them a place on the web where they can get visibility without spending a ton.

We do realize that it would take a long time to post all of your items one at a time. What we suggest is that sellers post a few items a week. This will help get more viability to your Zoocaro seller page as well as to your own site. Another thing to note is that all of the items uploaded through XML will still be indexed with Google, increase your visibility on the web.

I hope this helps better understand how the site works and that we are doing all we can to help sellers, sell and shoppers find great items online.

One last thing I wanted to throw out there is that if a seller is willing to link back to us we will give them a sponsored position on our site in the category of their choice, for a minimum of at least 3 months for Free.


All the best,

Angelo
