Y! Shopping and Y! Affiliate Program
I talked to a Y! Affiliate Program Representative and she informed me that Yahoo would be integrating the Y! Shopping into their affiliate program sometime during 2006. This would work in conjunction with their Shopping API. I assume it essentially will be a revenue share of the revenue generated from merchant sites, probably on a per-click basis based on their CPC rate card. This could be a great opportunity for niche webmasters to monetize their web site. Specifically for mashup sites, like BaeBo (and others), that utilize the Y! Shopping API. Also, deal and coupon sites could point to Y! to earn revenue from merchant sites they may not be affiliated with directly. Great potential. I’ll post updates when I have them.
