The Google feed doesn’t send the categories for the products, so Google doesn’t display any of the items. Here are the results of my “successful” upload, which no products are actually being displayed on Google. What is the point in sending or creating the feed if it isn’t going to be shown to Google Searchers?
This means no category was provided. And NO products will be dsplayed in Google.

How can we add the other idenifiers and crete a complete Google XML feed to send them?
The information below is incomplete even though I have complete information in nopCommerce. There is other data that helps your Google listings be seen by searchers and help your listing to be ranked hgh, without these the listngs are not seen in Google.
This is all the info sent to Google, missing Category, Color, Size...just to name a few.
<item>
<link></link>
<title></description>
<g:brand></g:brand>
<g:condition></g:condition>
<g:expiration_date></g:expiration_date>
<g:id></g:id>
<g:image_link></g:image_link>
<g:price></g:price>
</item>
These are other errors which should be coded to avoid them...
