The Yahoo! Product Submit team is pleased to announce the availability of a bidded marketplace. The bidded market place is designed to help you to:

• Better influence the level of traffic you receive from Yahoo! Shopping
• Gain more control over optimizing your product listings
• Gain better visibility into your category performance

Merchants can bid the amount they are willing to pay for a click at a category level. This bid can influence the ranking of your product listings on various Yahoo! Shopping pages. Several other factors can also affect the ranking of a product listing, on a given page including the Merchant’s merchant rating, product popularity, user ratings/reviews and the relevance of the listing itself.
