How Do I Estimate the Cost
of Yahoo! Product Submit

There are many factors in determining how much you will pay in a cost-per-click-based program. One way to estimate your costs is to consider the number of leads you currently receive from Yahoo! Shopping. Then multiply the number of leads by the current category rates for your products and subtract 20% to estimate your Yahoo! Store merchant discount.

To get the approximate cost-per-click cost for your store:

1
. Go to your Store Manager.
2. Click "Reference"
3. Choose "Last 30 days/visits"
4. Add up all the page views for URL's containing "Yahoo! Shopping" (e.g. http://search.shopping.yahoo.com).

5. Multiply that number by the cost-per-click rate for your product category Yahoo! Product Submit Pricing  

6. Then subtract 20% of the total to estimate how much you would pay on a cost-per-click basis.
