Hello Comparison Shopping Engine merchants and marketers! It has been a long time since my last post and for that you have my deepest apologies! I did have a good reason for the hiatus however! I took some time off to help raise my newborn son! That’s right, CSE Manager is now a father! :-)

The last few months have been the best that I have experienced! Even with all the late nights and long periods of time with no sleep I cant begin to describe the smile that my son brought to my face every time I laid my eyes on him!

On a side note, I am not sure how many of you caught the new comedy on NBC starring Christine Applegate and Will Arnette called Up All Night about a couple how is raising their first child but it is very funny and very very true! hahahaha!

Anyway, my time away from the workspace has ended and its time to get things rocking and rolling once again! A lot of changes are coming as we gear up for the holiday season and as always I will be covering all of them as they are announced.

I will also be going over a final review of the incoming enforcement of the new Google merchant center requirements which goes into affect in TWO DAYS! I hope that you have been reading up on the changes and know that Google moved their announcement blog.

The new blog is located at http://googlecommerce.blogspot.com/. Google will no longer be posting to the old blog http://googlemerchantblog.blogspot.com/ according to the final post on September 6th 2011

Here is the final post made on the Google merchant blog and a link to it on their site:

Thank you for reading!

As with the previous post about NexTag‘s upcoming rate card changes, I am a little late getting this post out. Again better late than never!!

On 5/12/11 an e-mail went out to Shopzilla merchants alerting them of the upcoming rate card changes.

You can view or download the PDF file containing the rate card changes directly from CSE Management.com by clicking the link below:

Here is the e-mail from Shopzilla in its entirety:

Dear Merchant,

Effective June 1, 2011 Shopzilla is implementing a new rate card. We will be increasing minimum rates in several categories, decreasing rates in Appliances and DVDs and leaving rates in some categories as-is.

We will automatically adjust any CPC bids that are below the new minimum rates on June 1. CPC bids that are above the new minimum rates will not be changed.
