If your url is already listed in Google but your products are not showing up in Froogle, email Google at feeds-support@google.com. Include in the email your name, title, phone number, email address, the name of your store, the URL of your store's website, and a brief description of the types of products you sell. Google will send you instructions on how to submit your feed. The first step is to create, in Froogle's feed format, a tab-delimited text file, which you can upload to Froogle daily, weekly, or monthly.
