Submitting to Googlebase

Since Google got rid of the option to submit items "one at a time" on Googlebase, I now do not know how to submit an item with anchor text in the description. Does anybody know how to do this by using an xml or text feed? It is now the only way to submit items.

You can create your data feed with excel, notepad, or RSS.

For excel:

create heading like

title | description | price | link

populate the columns with the appropriate information

wanted web designer | web designer must live in Los Angeles, and have experience with small business web design | 10,000 | www.example...

once you've added all of the job listing, products, etc in google base, convert your file to a .txt file

login to your google base account, and add your .txt file as a data feed.

The RSS data feed is created using XML

you can write the XML code using any notepad editor.
The format for each item you want in google base would be

<item>
<title>Los Angeles Web Designer</title>
<link>http://www.example.com/jobs</link>
<description>We have an immediate need for an experienced web designer in the Los Angeles area. </description>
</item>
...
<item>
<title>Los Angeles Search Engine Optimization</title>
<link>http://www.example.com/searchengineoptimization-jobs</link>
<description>We have an immediate need for small business search engine optimization in the Los Angeles area. </description>
</item>
etc...

for all items you want in google base. Save the file as a .xml file, login to your google base account and submit your .xml file as your data feed
