Yahoo! JAPAN and ValueCommerce began offering auction affiliate services on August 2nd, 2006
Yahoo! Auction Affiliate is a new marketing tool that rewards website owners and blog site owners for promoting items sold by both commercial shops and individuals. By choosing affiliate options, the seller can advertise the items they are selling. Whenever sales are generated, commission is paid to the owner of the web site or blog site that the ad is on.
Banners will be automatically updated and displayed based on each user’s wish list. Anyone with basic knowledge of HTML can use this tool and once it’s set up, there is no need to add/replace new products for sale.
These newly added services of Yahoo! Auction, one of the largest Ecommerce programs in Japan, as well as the “Consumer Generated Media”(CGM) driven marketing, will drive the traffic to auction sites.
