Paid Comparison Shopping Engines
-
I am looking into starting to use the comparison shopping engines. Any ideas on where to start wtih this? Is there a good place to go that would manage all the different sites?

Shopping comparison(SC) sites work of a product data feed which is specific to every site. So you've got two options
1. Create a data feed for every SC site you want to use or
2. Use a third party such as www.godatafeed.com who will take one feed from you and create the multiple specific feeds
Some SC sites have implemented a bidding system others use a fixed cost per click. If you go for the first option you can use Analytics software to optimise your feed (optimise titles/descriptions to increase CTR, remove items which have high Cost/Conversion). If you go for the second option, they will most likely optimise feeds for you.

Hi Nicole,
Did you make any decisions on comparison shopping engines? Do you have anything you can share with us that others might find helpful, or do you have some more questions still? We're going through and trying to clean up the questions that are still marked unanswered. Thanks for your help!

We have been managing clients data feeds for the comparison shopping engines for 2 years. We use Pricegrabber, Nextag, Shopzilla, Google Product Search, and Bing Merchant Center to name a few. We use a product called GoDataFeed to manage all our feeds. It is $99 a month and once you get the hang of it is so much simpler than trying to manage all the feeds manually. Also a great resource to check out that took us forever to find is called CPC Strategies, and their blog has useful information at http://blog.cpcstrategy.com/. They also put out the quarterly comparison of all the shopping engines. Hope that helps.

You want to place banner ads on them or you want your stock to appear on their sites?
If the former you're looking for an ad buying agency (assuming you don't want to do it yourself), if the latter you're probably going to have to provide the sites an API into your product database so they can query stock and prices.

I want to advertise on them. But I want to hire it out to someone who knows how to efficiently market designer goods.

Can Google shopping listings affect SEO rankings?
Hello everyone. Here is my question: Until 4 weeks ago we used to have just around 2,000 product/pages on Google shopping of our product pages, then we added over 40,000 more items/pages to it, and our Google natural search rankings dropped on most of our long-tail keywords pointing to the same product pages. Do you think that's just coincidence or could the number of products/pages on Google shopping affect natural search results?

Custom Filter: Organic Traffic Growth VS Paid Traffic Growth
Hi guys, I need some assistance. We recently removed and disavowed links to our site and I believe it has been about 3 months but I can't see much of a change. Can anyone help me with a filter for GA to be able to measure my organic traffic growth and my Paid search traffic growth. I was also wondering, because organic traffic is determined by variables like fresh, relavant and key phrase rich content constantly being posted, good seo practices etc is there any good way of measuring organic traffic growth vs paid? Please help out where you can.

Why are some restricted items showing up on Google Shopping?
Hi there, We sell tactical gear but only "Google Friendly" items in our Google Shopping Product Listing Ads. We don't include anything that goes on a rifle, including rifle scopes. However, we see that companies like ebay and OpticsPlanet can still sell riflescopes: https://www.google.com/#q=Bushnell+3-12x44+Mil+Dot+Tactical+Riflescope&tbm=shop. There's even an article by SearchEngineLand that points this out, too: http://searchengineland.com/google-weapon-listings-shopping-search-126487. So why is it that they can sell them and we can't? What advantage do they have or what have they done?

Paid Press Release Site - Our competitors do it... and it seems to work?
Hi Im seeing our competitors use sites like 24-7pressrelease.com to release rather uninteresting and dubious press releases and it seems to be, looking at their link profiles, the lions share of all links to these particular landing pages. Yet since I've joined SEOMOZ all i've seen is that PR sites don't work and arent worth it. So far, I've resisted doing any PR stuff and have just kept on creating and promoting content which is severely time heavy work. Is there really 0 value in these? If i have 0 PR currently and add just a couple is that worth it? The co. we compete against are at it every week with this site and similar paid sites. Are they making a mistake?
