Shopping Search Engines
Search Bing Shopping
View BING Shopping categories (as MSN) | Advertise on Bing Shopping
Bing Shopping (previously MSN Shopping or MSN Product Search or Windows Live Search Products) will have immediate following because it is replacing MSN Shopping search which was/is rather popular as shopping search goes. Unlike submitting your site to the Bing search engine, listing yourself in Bing Shopping is NOT free.
To sign up for Bing Shopping, you need to contact a rep.
Submission here is not as easy as it should be. However, Bing Shopping has had some serious customer loyalty and has existed longer than most shopping search. With the rebranding, it is unknown how much of that loyalty they take with them. Here are their advertising guidelines.

ADVICE: Your site is shopping-driven, so create your PPC ads just as you did the merchant account ads above. You are creating product-name or brand-name specific keyword ads, so use URLs that link to a specific product purchase page. You, most of all, will need to set up conversion tracking with the PPC providers.

Who this page is for: Any sites that sell specific products at set prices orderable through a shopping cart.
Who this page is not for: Shopping search is not usually for affiliate sites or directory-based sites. It is not for sites that require telephone orders, or have print-out-and-mail-in order forms. If you do not post your prices, you cannot be included in shopping search engines. If any of this is you skip ahead to the pay-per-clickthroughs to advertise in other ways.
