Enabling Yahoo Search in Online Store

As the account in Yahoo Search service is created, Yahoo will provide you with a script of the kind:

<!--

  yahoo.tpl

  variables: $yahoo.tagVersion, $yahoo.accountID, yahoo.marketID

  example:

    var cc_tagVersion = "{$yahoo.tagVersion}";

    var cc_accountID  = "{$yahoo.accountID}";

    var cc_marketID   = "{$yahoo.marketID}";

-->

  <script type="text/javascript">

  //<!-- Overture Services Inc. 07/15/2003

  var cc_tagVersion = "{$yahoo.tagVersion}";

  var cc_accountID  = "{$yahoo.accountID}";

  var cc_marketID   = "{$yahoo.marketID}";

  var cc_protocol   = "http";

  var cc_subdomain  = "convctr";

  {literal}

  if(location.protocol == "https:")

  {

   cc_protocol="https";

   cc_subdomain="convctrs";

  }

  var cc_queryStr = "?" + "ver=" + cc_tagVersion + "&aID=" + cc_accountID + "&mkt=" + cc_marketID +"&ref=" + escape(document.referrer);

  var cc_imageUrl = cc_protocol + "://" + cc_subdomain + ".overture.com/images/cc/cc.gif" + cc_queryStr;

  var cc_imageObject = new Image();

  cc_imageObject.src = cc_imageUrl;

  {/literal}

  // -->

  </script>

<!-- end of yahoo.tpl -->

This script has several parameters that have to be configured in Billing in order for statistics to be collected. Below is a table of correspondence between script and Billing parameters:

Yahoo Script Parameters	Billing Parameters
