The image urls do not remain static until changed unless you reference images uploaded to your files in your templates (which some stores customize their templates to do). If you upload your images using the multi-image upload, then your image urls may change at times. Some merchants use third party services to optimize their shopping feeds and provide static images. Don Cole over at Your Store Wizards has such a service.

I wasn’t sure how else to contact you, but I was wondering if you’ve had the chance to look at the “Windows Live Product Upload” service for their shopping network. Their required information for catalog uploads can be found in a yahoo store’s database except for “image urls.”

It seems that yahoo’s image urls are now static (as in the urls stay the same now??) Is there a way to get the image url info for such a service?

Thanks

Would love to see a screencast with your thoughts on single-page checkout (when it works, when it doesn’t and whether specific vertical markets seem to work better than others with this type of checkout). Another popular topic would be around building trust and credibility throughout a site–who’s doing it right and wrong. Again–thanks for the screencasts–great resource for merchants.

Thank you for sharing this with your readers. I am glad you are finding these screencasts interesting. Is there any other you would like to see done?

Best wishes,
