Re: Lulu Release 2009.1

Hello Nick Kephalos

I'm referring to this item:

>>>3. Google Products Feed Integration:

Content published via Lulu now appears in Google Product
Search (http://www.google.com/products), bringing your
content to a wider audience. <<<

I clicked the link, however, none of my Lulu books come up when I search by title. Is there something I have to do to 'make it happen'?

thanks
Marlies

Re: Lulu Release 2009.1

Hi Marlies,

Can you provide more information on the search terms you used? Going by the titles on your storefront, I searched for "Winnetou", and indeed did see two books without covers. However, these are not titles published via Lulu, so I couldn't offer a possible guess as to why the cover is not showing up.

If you provide more details, I'll look in to the issue further for you.

Thanks.

Re: Lulu Release 2009.1

Hi John
Thanks
(Note: Karl May, Winnetou, Old Shatterhand, Old Firehand, etc are world famous terms for over 100 years and will bring up oodles on any search engine (less so on the Google products section) - therefore I've included 'Lulu' in the search terms)

I searched:
>Karl-May Lulu<
brought up: Karl May: His Story - His Stories // The Joys And Agonies Of Being Karl May

>Complete-Winnetou-Trilogy Lulu<
no match

>Old-Surehand Lulu<
brought up the poster I've withdrawn but no book (should bring up 3 books)

>"Holy-Night!" Lulu<
brought up anything else to do with generic 'Holy Night', but not the book

>Winnetou And Old Shatterhand<
came up - tho none of the remaining 5 in the 'Winnetou And ...' series of pocket books came up.

>Savage-To-Saint<
didn't bring up the single volume, only the double volume hardcover

>Inn-Nu-Woh To Merhameh<
ditto

>The Joys And Agonies Of Being Karl May<
came up

The same results as a couple of days ago.
cheers
Marlies
