It seems that Yahoo Shopping is now partnering up with Pricegrabber in order to get its product listings. This means that anyone that has a Yahoo Shopping account and uses product submit to get their listings live on Yahoo will now have to do it via Pricegrabber. We are aware that many of your already have accounts with both shopping comparison sites, so this shouldn’t be a problem for you. It looks like it will be set up so you can control if you want products on Pricegrabber and Yahoo Shopping or just on Yahoo Shopping. Below is an email that was sent to advertisers about this change that will take effect on March 11, 2010.
Important: Product Submit changes coming soon. Action required.
Dear Advertiser,

It looks to be just another thing that Yahoo is making easier for themselves just like the deal with had with Microsoft and Bing. This is good news for Pricegrabber as they are the ones that will power all the listings on Yahoo Shopping and thus make a good amount of money off of it. Now, does this mean that Yahoo Shopping portal is becoming just another affiliate in Pricegrabbers eyes or have they come up with a better rev sharing deal? Lets see how this pans out for Pricegrabber, Yahoo, and the retailers!
