I only see how bonanza charges to get on search engines but do they actually promote its site or is it the sellers who promote them (and not our items)?

I am thinking that you need to promote your items unless you are in one of the plans they offer to do it for you. I have not been on here long but that is my understanding of it. At least you get to build your organic Google search here.
Hope this helps.

Google product search (the shopping link searchers click when they are looking for items) requires payment now to be listed in google shopping….so in order for your feed to be sent to google shopping you will have to choose an advertising plan (the 9%) to get your items in google…the higher fees at other sites, accommodate this cost to a certain extent…Amazon opts not to send items to google…but truthfully they have too and the usually have bought the top search search placements through ads anyway
All search engines crawl all sites (organic searches) and your items can appear in organic searches, but this takes work to get your booth placed higher in search rankings…relevance, reliability and also time to build a reputation…
If you choose a higher percentage for advertising items in your booth can get extra ads…
You can use the enable/disable google submission option in Edit Booth Options, Search optimize if you do not wish to send all items to google, and just rely on your own advertising (ie, facebook bonanza app..to list items on your facebook business page, tweet, pin, google+ or any of the other social media) and only pay the 3.5% fvf
Also note, that regardless of what percentage you choose, you do not pay for the ads, unless the item actually sells through an ad click…and the percentage you pay is no greater than the option chosen and is many times less…(one exception, since min fvf is 0.50 then a very low cost item may show a higher percentage….but not often)
The plans place ads for your items on the internet…but it is up to you to drive traffic to your booth..unless you are the big money people and can afford the extra $$$$$ for higher cost ads

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
