Price Comparison Service Management

What is a Shopping Comparison or Price Engine?

Shopping Comparison websites allow individuals to see a list of prices for specific products from multiple sources. These websites do not directly sell any products, only list them for you. Some may charge a listing fee and some may charge per click or acquisition.

These types of websites are also called:

  • Online Shopping Comparison Sites
  • Product Engines
  • Shopping Comparison Engines
  • Price Engines

Here are a list of Shopping Engines

  • Shopping.com [CPC] and owned by eBay
  • DealTime [Shopping.com Affiliate]
  • Amazon [% of purchase]
  • Shopzilla [CPC]
  • NexTag [CPC]
  • Google Base / Froogle [FREE]
  • MSN / Live Product Search [FREE]
  • Yahoo Shopping

How does it work?

These product comparison websites let advertisers upload "feeds" of their product databases and when users search for a product, the links to the different advertisers for that particular product appear. You may also create a "catalog" and upload this as well on some shopping websites. Once these products appear, the searcher may sort by price, allowing them to find the cheapest price available.
