My own Shopzilla site

What's new:

1. Main, new version Datafeedscripts.net Shopzilla API script based on the NEW version Shopzilla API!

New version includes a larger number of filters: for example In the category Digital Cameras to select the results by min/max price, by Price Range, by Product Line, by Camera Type, by Resolution, by LCD Screen Size, by Stores.



2. The new control panel contains the following features:

- Site General Settings:

a. Site pages extension (If you having the Windows 2008 server hosting or dedicated Windows 2003 server, than you can set another than .aspx page extension for your site pages)
b. Cache site config files (If you check this box the site engine will cache in memory site configuration files. This can improve your site responsiveness.)
c.Allow to remap incoming urls (url rewrite)
d.Use 404 response status code for 'Page not found' page (If you uncheck this box the 404 page will return the 200 response status code. Useful for some SEO techniques. Required a custom developed 404 page.)

- Site Appearance:

a.Default View Type For Products Page (Set here default view type for products pages: List or Grid.)
b.Logo image virtual path
c.Logo image alt/title text
d.Show Mini Logo (Uncheck this box if you do not want to show mini site logo at the very bottom of the page.)
e.Show Powered By BizRate Logo (Uncheck this box if you do not want to show Powered By BizRate logo at the very bottom of the page.)
f.Show Script By DataFeedScripts.net Logo (Uncheck this box if you do not want to show Script By DataFeedScripts.net logo at the very bottom of the page.)

- Edit pages titles and meta tags templates:

a.Title/Meta Description/Meta Keywords for home page
b.Title/Meta Description/Meta Keywords for search results pages
c.Title/Meta Description/Meta Keywords for category pages
d.Title/Meta Description/Meta Keywords for single product pages
e.Title/Meta Description/Meta Keywords for merchant info pages

- Right Panel Ads (Check the checkbox below if you want to show ads on the right side of a page.)

Paste your ads code in the box below. This code will be added to each site page except the admin area pages.

- Edit a Tracking Code
Use this page to add a tracking code like Google Analytics.

- Edit DataFeed Cache Settings (Use this page to set time values for Data Feed xml cache)

a.Cache Api Response (If you check this checkbox than site engine will save on disk the downloaded from APIs xml. This can significantly improve your site performance. But be sure that your hosting server has enough disk space for this option (more than 250 Mb).)
b.Cache Time For Products Request (min) (Set here how long you want to keep downloaded Products Request xml in cache before update it(in minutes: 1440 min = 24 hours). The Products data is changed frequently, so do not use a value more than two days (2880 min).)
c.Cache Time For Taxonomy Request (min) (Set here how long you want to keep downloaded Taxonomy xml in cache before update it(in minutes: 1440 min = 24 hours). Taxonomy data do not change frequently, so you can set a greater value for it, like 43200 min (~ one month).)
d.Cache Time For Merchant Info Request (min) (Set here how long you want to keep downloaded Merchant Info xml in cache before update it (in minutes: 1440 min = 24 hours).)

- Manage Admin Accounts (Use this page to add or delete admin accounts.)

- Edit Security Settings

a.Auth Cookie Name (If you have only one Web-based application on your server, then .ASPXAUTH is a perfectly secure choice for the cookie name. In fact, any choice would be secure. But, when your server runs multiple ASP.NET Web-based applications, it becomes critical to assign a unique authentication cookie name to each application. If the names are not unique, then users logging into any of the Web-based applications might inadvertently gain access to all of them. For example, a user logging into the online shopping site to view his order history might find that he is now able to access the administration application on the same site and change the prices of the items in his shopping cart.)
b.AuthTimeOut (Authentication timeout value has changed to be 30 minutes by default. This means that after 30 minutes of inactivity, a user will be prompted to login again (note: everytime they hit the site the 30 minute window clock gets reset -- so it is only if they are idle that it will timeout). If you want to change the timeout value to be longer, you can easily change the timeout value the timeout value is in minutes).)
c.LoginPage (A login page url. Please do not change it if you don't have developed your own login page)
d.ReturnUrlAfterLogin (After the user has been authenticated, the user is redirected to the earlier requested page. But if he comes to the login page as first page of the your site, set here to what page he should be redirected after logon.)
e.Return Url after Logout (Specify here a URL to redirect user to a web page after logging out from admin area. You can use this variable to return user to an initial login page.)

- Edit Top Tabs Navigation Menu
(This page allows you easily edit the top tabs navigation menu that you can see on every page of the your site.)

- Google Site Map Settings
(Use this page to edit Google site map settings. See result xml at sitemap.aspx page.)

From Shopzilla official blog: "Attention Publishers: We have been experiencing some unscheduled enterprise-wide maintenance issues that are impacting our Publisher portal and the old Catalog API service. Due to these issues, you may be temporarily unable to log in to your Publisher account and you may see default content or errors in your dynamic assets. Also, if you have not yet switched to our new Catalog API, you may notice intermittent service slowness and/or timeouts for the next few days. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible and we apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us"

New Shopzilla Publisher Program API Released. The new API has improved functionality, added features, and is built upon a faster, more scalable infrastructure.

The existing API will remain available until July 1, but we are encouraging publishers to migrate to the new API platform as soon as possible.

New version site Compare-Prices.info is a demo to show the functionality of the NEW Shopzilla.com API

From official Shopzilla Blog:

"Hey Publishers.
You have probably noticed by now that we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our earnings report. We understand how frustrating it is to all of you who login to your accounts but are unable to view your clicks and earnings. Please be assured that your traffic is being tracked accurately and that we are logging all impression, redirect and earnings data in our database. The problem with our reports is that they have been failing to update and display this information.
We realize the importance reporting holds for you, our Publisher. This is a very high priority problem and our team will soon begin working to rebuild the entire earnings report structure. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us and let us know if you would like to begin receiving your earnings reports daily via email. We would be more than happy to set you up with a custom report that will be sent to you each morning showing your clicks and earnings from the previous day. On top of the daily earnings report, we can also run comprehensive reports for any date range that we can send to you upon request.

We thank you all very much for your patience and understanding while we work through this issue. If you would like to request daily email reports, a comprehensive one-time earnings report or both, please contact Talia Drake at tdrake@shopzilla.comor Bryan Byrne at bbyrne@shopzilla.com."
