Retail Therapy

An Intro to Product Submit

If you have products to sell and they are not listed when buyers search online to do their shopping you may be missing out on the ever-growing number of consumers who are more likely to open a browser window than go window shopping.

To assist you in your online retail efforts, there is Yahoo! Product Submit. With Product Submit, your product listings appear in search results whenever someone searches for keywords related to your product. A product submission in Yahoo! Product Search is a simple way to give searchers a better lease on online shopping with a heaping dose of your stuff.
