Today I encountered another unhelpful error from the Google Base bulk upload system. When I logged into my Google Base account I saw that one of my clients uploads had failed with zero (0) errors. How could something fail with zero errors? Is this even possible? Or did the Google Base system just decide to get even lousier with their error handling and now start this as a complete guessing game?
In the past, Ive received sucherrors as,Bulk Upload Failure. 1200 errors and when I click on the see details and get help link it basically tells me nothing, just that there is an error in my bulk upload file. This is obviously unhelpful and takessome time trying to manually figure out whats the error in the feed -especially when you have thousands of items.But todays bulk upload failure with zero (0) errors tops them all off I think their error reporting system is heading in the wrong direction. Why cant they provide automated responses to the errors? Such responses as, Incorrect formatting, Title Undefined, Invalid character in description field " these would all be extremely helpful. Things like this could save us website owners and SEOs countless hours normally spent trying to resolve issues with our Google Base bulk uploads.Just some food for thought.
