The product count alert service notifies you when a search in Google Base returns a particular number of results. You can customize the search terms, product count threshold, and check frequency.
What can the product count alert service be used for?
This is useful for Yahoo stores to monitor their product count in Google Base. A store could set up an alert to notify when the product count of their store goes below a certain number.
Another use is to notify when a search for a particular product name returns more than zero results. This can be used to monitor competition in the search results for that product.
What is the cost of the product count alert service?
The alert service costs $0.05 for each check. It can be scheduled to run daily, tri-weekly, weekly, or monthly.
Can I set up an alert for other Google Base item types besides products, such as jobs?
Currently, only searches on products are supported. Please contact us if you would like to search other Google Base item types.
Can I download alert results?
Yes, you can download alert results going back up to three years in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
