Btw, I updated this story yesterday with a link to a follow-up story about Thefind, which looks at issues that came to light after publishing this.

You can try Pricescan.com for books - pretty comprehensive, and you can search by ISBN, author, title...

I don't know if there ever will be a dominant shopping engine simply because too many people are making too much off of affiliate links to care. But i do know that there will be a relevant local shopping engine because my startup is building it. (shameless self plug ;)

Re the example of "dress shirt" try this product search:
Search for dress shirt on styleray.com

You can then refine it by clicking the "men" option.

Great article! I am with you on the credibility band wagon. If anyone could gain steady online respect they would rule the shopping venue.

I expect this is true for all the other sectors too. The water is so muddy in Web 2.0 right now I am wondering if any of us will know which way is up in a year?

Thanks for the info, Phil

Wild Zoo you're making a lot of sense. Even corrected our dimwitted commentator matt marshall (Ugenie). Do they call you wild zoo for your prowess in bed?

call me XOXO

"Many of them even buy search traffic by placing ads on Google and Yahoo."

Um, yes, along with eBay, Amazon, and the rest of the ecommerce universe. Why is buying traffic particularly nefarious?

SFGARY and JENN, I think the company you're looking for is Ugenie, the domain of which is not for sale.

I actually liked the RoboShopper site. I've always found that I need to use more than one shopping site, so maybe their strategy does make sense here more than for search. RoboShopper does save time, and I think I'll use it regularly.

Is the time NOW for relevancy in marketing real estate? I am curious. What would it take for INVIRO to go public?
www.inviro.com
Please check the INVIRO concept for real estate franchising and forward any advice you may have.

Thanks,

the link to ugenio takes you to a domain page showcasing wine related things. which is too bad, because i was really excited about a book-buying search engine...

Looks like ugenio is history? at least according to the link...the domain name is for sale
