Question
Well.... after much thought, I decided to take the plunge into yahoo shopping. I already use a spreadsheet for our products, so with just a wee bit of tweaking, I was able to easily upload a feed to Yahoo and begin.
The minimum purchase for clicks is $50, so... the gambler that I am, went along with it.
Fifty dollars later... $0.00 sales... and that fifty bucks only lasted 2 weeks!
I suppose if I was selling retail stuff, I could've faired better... after all, collectibles aren't the big thing on Yahoo shopping (with the exception of auctions, which are jumbled in the mix as well).
In any case... at least now I know...
I'd love to hear other experiences with this program. It sure seems like there are a lot of shoppers that use it... just no BUYERS!
Answer
I have a Overture account but also was not happy with the results. I'm not real sure Google Adwords are much better. My website sales have really picked up but believe it is the result of the "natural" search results. I believe these PPC ads are really only good for new sites or keywords that you may not rank good for.
