Product Urls - MUST Have For Yahoo Shopping and SEO

In order for Yahoo Shopping to pick up your items, you need to fill in the proper product URLs.

Yahoo will also do a feed to the search engines of your products. You want to make sure that they use the proper URLs as well.

If you go into store editor and click edit on your items, you will see the variable product-url at the bottom of the page.

For best results, you want each page to have its own unique product url in this variable. This way when the search engine or shopping search engine is fed the product name it also will be fed the page to go to in order to find the information.

You have to be careful, Yahoo will sometimes put in a product URL but it will not look like http://www.YOURURL.com/pageid.html.

Instead it will look like http://store.yahoo.com/yhst-000000000/pageid.html

The problem with this is that the search engines could see it as running multiple domains. This could get you in trouble with the search engines.

To be safe, make sure product url is filled in properly every time!
