Shopping: Yahoo! Shopping helps you find products and compare prices from different merchants selling the same item. Yahoo! Shopping does this in part by searching through millions of products offered by thousands of third party merchants. Most merchants included in Yahoo! Shopping pay for placement of their product offers in resulting listings. In general, the order in which Yahoo! Shopping search results are displayed is determined by an algorithmic ranking and relevance is a key factor used, although payment by participating merchants along with other factors can affect the order of Yahoo! Shopping search results. Some Yahoo! Shopping search results may include products from merchants that submit content to Yahoo! Shopping for review and inclusion in the Yahoo! Shopping database. These merchants pay for inclusion of their content in the Yahoo! Shopping database, but participation in this paid inclusion program does not guarantee placement or ranking of search results. To add comprehensiveness, some Yahoo! Shopping search results may include free results generated from millions of web pages discovered, crawled and indexed by the Yahoo! Shopping web crawl process
