“Cyber Monday saw significant visitor gains at most of the top retail resources, led by Shopzilla.com sites with nearly 2 million visitors (up 98 percent versus the November base period), followed by Yahoo! Shopping with 1.9 million visitors (up 81 percent) and Google Product Search with 1.1 million (up 59 percent).”

These numbers further prove that consumers are browsing around online comparing prices and searching for the best deal. In the above video Greg Hintz, the General Manager of Yahoo! Shopping, gives four tips retailers need to know as they optimize their campaign.

1.    Optimize your data feed.
2.    Make sure your data feed provides relevant, comprehensive, and fresh data.
3.    Use factual language instead of “marketing” language.
4.    Include all product specifics.

When you move on to Yahoo! Product Submit, Greg points out that the primary factor is relevancy. Other factors to look at are merchant rating since higher rating produces a higher ranking. Also, remember to take advantage of comparison-shopping sites.
