You can edit the Product Feed to send either image. Just edit the search and choose either the Image URL or the Thumbnail URL. I meant the ability to specify on a item by item basis. For us, about 80% of our items have a useable "main image" and about 20% of them would need to use their thumbnail image. Not a big deal…

I get a bunch with ";jsessionid=..." in our site's URLs when I try to spider our site when attempting to make our Google sitemap. I use Mac, so I am using "Google Sitemap Automator" by "RAGE Software". Sure would be easier if NS's system would just automatically make these. -Tom

I don't know Baruch, we manage 4 different feeds and we were forced to manage them outside of NS. We added a LOT of missing fields like "condition", brand, expiration date, product type, "tax region" etc. and we did a LOT of HTML "<b></B>" tag removal. The only way the NS version would be useful is if we can click "export"…

The product feeds in NS are very poor. They don't strip out the HTML like the "<b>" and "</b>" from product descriptions. They don't send the feeds directly to those sites (many of them offer ftp uploads). They don't let you pick which picture to include in the feed (thumbnail -vs- main picture). They don't have all of the…

The cheap e-commerce package CityMax, even has Google Sitemaps. Why does NS have to be the last e-commerce provider to add automated Google Sitemaps? NS, could you just add something like this program to your servers... http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/standalone-google-sitemap-generator.html

Does Netsuite have a roadmap for addressing these issues? Thanks Bill Don't hold your breath. They don't appear to have any urgency to fix the problems and shortcomings in this area. They give it the old "add your name to the issue/enhancement" line. Not only are they WAY behind the cheaper e-commerce packages (no…

No, our software does NOT allow us to enter an "agent name". Tom PS: Please add automated Google sitemaps

Can anyone recommend a company that helps web merchants increase their "natural listing" rankings in Google? I do a lot (like google sitemaps and meta tags), but I don't have time to work on it anymore and we still have a LOT of room for improvement. -Tom

It is a manual process. You create it (either manually or with a tool like coffeecup sitemapper) and then you upload it into the folder in your "file cabinet" that you have set as your "root directory". It needs to be updated frequently and it would be nice if NS would AUTOMATICALLY create all of our sitemaps for us (like…

Add a google and yahoo sitemap to your NS web site.

Julian, email me the set-up. I didn't list any of the downloadable site crawling programs at... http://code.google.com/sm_thirdparty.html for a reason. I'm was making a point about all of the alternatives to downloadable site crawling solutions. There are a lot of resources available for NS to add auto-sitemaps to the NS…

Yahoo! has integrated Sitemaps into Y! Merchant stores. Yahoo! merchants can automatically create a Sitemap file for their stores and share information about their site with Google and other search engines to improve their visibility online and their Sitemaps are dynamically updated for them as they make changes to their…

Julian I tried A1 Sitemap Generator again today. It scans our site and finds tons of files that we don't want in our sitemap. I filtered some of them. I notice that it has two versions of every page. It has a version with a "/" on the end and one without. How did you filter out URLs that end in "/"? Our A1 set-up will…

Shawn, how has http://www.verticalmeasures.com worked out?

No recommendations for a SEO company (yet). I could pick one randomly after looking at some online, but that is like playing roulette. I'm still looking for one with some positive references. T

Rage Sitemap Automator seems to work if you set the max simultaneous connections to 2. The only issue I have is that it adds a / to the end of every URL that doesn't end in jpg or html or some ending that is recognized as a "real URL" by the software. T

netsuite needs to create a automatic sitemap file that is created daily. the most basic of e-commerce platforms do this at no cost. I agree. Add your name to Enhancement 109212 if you want that feature in NetSuite.

NetSuite, We use mac and neither downloadable sitemap program for the mac works with NetSuite. It looks like there are plenty of off the shelf server based sitemap programs. Surely one of them would work with NetSuite.... This list is from Google: http://code.google.com/sm_thirdparty.html ..... Online Generators…

I second the need for this!! It would help everyone selling online in NS. We would also need some controls (like a way to omit selected pages from being included in the site-map). I have read that more and more search engines are using the site-maps (not just Google) plus if you don't use them, Google will index your site…

Try this one in Google... jsessionid= and netsuite and yourdomain in our case.... Google search term = "jsessionid= and netsuite and signsdirect" with out the quotation marks. We do get just one result and it is "checkout.netsuite.com"....

We made the sitemap using the "CoffeeCup Google SiteMapper", but there were tons of other ways to make them. The sitemap was recognized by Google and is working fine for us. I would like it if NS added a AUTO-generated dynamic google sitemap with some user controls (like omitting some folders or categories from being…

Maybe NS could pay Mike Spencer to add automated sitemaps to NS. We would need a field to categories and items that says "exclude from sitemap" if it is automated. We would like all automated sitemaps that will increase our exposure.. -Google Sitemap -OPML 'feed' site map -Yahoo sitemap -HTML sitemap -RSS sitemap -ROR…

I have been playing with wordpress and I am amazed that a free plugin creates the sitemap and every time you add a page/post to the site it re-creates the sitemap and contacts google, yahoo and ask to let them know. Very powerful. I don't want to list NS competing products in this group, but I have used several other…

We uploaded our SiteMap to the "root directory" (using the file cabinet). Why can't you? Go to documents->files->file cabinet and then to "site" or "live hosting files" or whatever directory you have specified as your "hosting root" at set-up->website->set-up website->"advanced tab". It is easy enough to upload into the…

DJ, I just spidered our site and we had sever HUNDRED URLs with jsessionid garbage on the end. I thought you said it should only appear in one URL when spidered. I noticed one thing when looking at the list. All of the URLs that were like this... www.ourdomain/catalog/category/product-name were all OK. All of our URLs that…

NO NS FTP that I know of. Yahoo store (a NS-store competitor) has automated Google sitemaps for it's users. NS needs to follow suit. Also, Google sitemaps aren't the only sitemaps needed. We need Yahoo sitemaps, HTML sitemaps and RSS sitemaps. See... http://www.AutoMapIt.com They will automatically do daily or weekly…

Good point Julian, but what is even more dispiriting is when you have paid a premium price for "NetSuite Site Builder" and then NS fixes an obvious shortcoming (a feature included in most cheaper e-commerce alternatives) and they put it into a new version called "NetSuite e-commerce edition". SiteBuilder ... e-commerce…

D.J., I did that Google search. Hmmm 15,100 results...those must be pages picked up when Google spidered the first page in each crawler visit to each NS hosted site (according to what NS has said). One of the links was a NS blog and it had some advise to NS for SEO. it said... Now if they can just clean their code a little…

No, it is here... Documents > File Cabinet > Web Site Hosting Files > Live Hosting Files > INSERT HERE -Tom

do you think netsuite will make work the map with windows map. I think they are better then google or yahoo.... I think you missed the point. See this link.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Sitemap and then see this link... http://news.com.com/2100-1025_3-6136041.html?part=rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-5&subj=news Many VERY…
