First off..items are not published to search engines….items are published to google product search (google shopping) and other shopping sites, ie the Find..etc and without advertising, then no

Organic searches depend on the search engines bots crawling the internet and then retuning the revelant results based on the search criteria. This is done all done automatically and has nothing to do with what bonz or any other site does or does not do…

This is where it is important to have a store with good links, strong keywords and good keyword descriptions in the first 250 characters of you listing as it will show in the organic results…

So if you go to the 3.5%…you are only paying a fvf..no advertising at all and are depending only on organic searches…

Adding the turbo pac will place ads in the various sites and on the organic results of a search…

the better question would be…If I switch to 3.5% fvf…Do I still pay for the ad clicks my items that sell as a result of the turbo ad that have already gotten ad clicks from previous ads placed on my items…. (if that makes sense)

And for me out of curiousity..since the turbo packs are paid ad packs…does a click on a turbo ad..count as an ad click on the items for which we are charged in the fvf?..IS there a way to distinguish between turbo ad clicks (already paid for) and the regular ad clicks (not paid until item sells)

In your booth, under advertising is the following levels; Economy, Basic, Standard etc. So here on Bonanza it is considered advertising even though for Economy, you only get organic search. All levels are based on final value fees

3.5% is listed under the advertising…bit that is the fvf if there is NO advertising selected…that was the only fvf prior to google charging for listing…all levels are based on how much advertising you select and your fvf CAN be up to your selection, but not always…

If I click on one your items right and bought from Bonz..and it had no ad clicks on it..your fee would only be 3.5% regardless of what you selected for your ad fee

sorry for typos…typing one handed is not always easy

I can’t see it unless there is a free booth here. But I always assumed there was not, that the lowest advertising was the Economy 3.5% max fee for organic traffic. So you have to have some sort of advertising. Hopefully Bonanza will let you know.
