With such valuable sales opportunities there’s also strong competition. Make

incur small fees when visitors click through to your site (pay-per-click).</pre><h2>How do I get started?</h2><p>You’ll need to
create a product feed to export into the product comparison site. </p><h2>1.
Select the sites you want to use.</h2><p>Go to <em>Shopping comparison

and hitting <em>save</em>.</p><h2>2.
Map your product categories.<a href="http://www.bigcommerceplaybook.com/#!playbookday4/cdc3"></a></h2><p>To make it easy for shoppers to find your products, map your

comparison site</em> section of your Marketing menu. In the tab for the shopping
comparison site, click the <em>Download Feed
File. </em>This creates files you can upload into the comparison site. </p><h2>4. Create good product titles, images and
descriptions.</h2><p>Make sure your store has good product titles, images and
descriptions. These help with search engine optimization (SEO) and enticing
shoppers to buy. It also helps you in shopping comparison sites. </p><h2>5.
Upload your feed file into the shopping comparison site.</h2><p>Go to the shopping comparison site, sign up and upload your
product feed file. </p><h2>6.
