Improving HoR - Day 18 - Yahoo Shopping Feed
A few days ago I setup HouseOfRave to send an XML feed to Google, now to further expand HoR's reach I've submitted a product feed of 350 HouseOfRave products to Yahoo.
For BodyMonkey.com I use Yahoo Stores, so all my products are automatically listed on the Yahoo Shopping network. That business is rarely updated yet still makes some orders solely from Yahoo Shopping Network listings.
What I like about the Yahoo Shopping Network is that when people click your product, they are usually ready to buy. However since HouseOfRave is not hosted on Yahoo Stores, I'm curious to see the actual buying habits.
Unlike Google's Froogle, inclusion in the Yahoo Shopping network costs money. I added $50 to my pay-per-click account and am anxious to see the results in the coming month. If an investment of $50 brings in <$50 in profit I wouldn't have had before, then the campaign will be a success and I'll increase my Yahoo spending. If not, lesson learned.
