Based on what you have told me it is very difficult to say. Can you give me some idea which products are not being displayed? I might be able to give you a meaningful answer then.

The only obvious answer is that the product feed will not include products that don't have a price - this is because Google will not accept them, they only accept product listings which include a non-zero price, they will be automitically dropped otherwise. There is nothing that can be done about this, it is Google's policy.

price is included on all products, trying to discern why some products are not being included, don't see anything different from the ones that are being included. I can send relevant links, login via IM, thanks:

To be clear about this, are you saying that the products are not appearing in the RSS file that the component generates, or are you saying that they are not showing up in the product listing in Google?

in the rss feed that the component produces (and subsequent xml.txt file) we are missing say rough estimate a third of our products. I just double checked, futzed with, parameters still not getting everything in the feed.

How many products are you trying to display? Which ordering are you using? Ie random products, most recent products, top products, products on special, or all products?

If you are displaying all products from all categories then it is better to leave the category id parameter blank, if you want to list categories you will need to list subcategories as well as the parent categories.

There is a 'Maximum Number of Products to Display' parameter, make sure that it is sufficiently large to display all.

Also if you have the same product in more than one category it will only display one instance, again this is to comply with Google conditions, they won't accept duplicated products in different categories.
