I do not currently know of a product that can monitor your listing positions in the search engines, but hopefully we may see a product or service that can do this very soon. With Google currently displaying the top three Google Base listings in your regular search engine results, it is very important to get ranked in these top three positions. At this point, I like to do a spot check and manually type in some of the main keyword phrases I am targeting for each product to see where my listings are positioned. This is not the most efficient option, but is currently seems to be the only option.
There are other options available to track your success on Google Base. When logged into your Google Base account you are able to track impressions and clicks for your product listings, but to really gauge how effective your campaign is it all comes down to conversions. I prefer to build custom product URLs for my listings using the Google Analytics URL Builder and then setup Google Analytics conversion tracking specifically for my product listings.
