I was just wondering is how much benefit would i derive in google and in the search engines in general by having all my products in these shopping "comparison" portal such as froogle, price grabber, shopping.com, shopzilla, bizrate... Just trying to determine if having a feed developed would really be worth while. So i guess what i am asking is a)How much benefit do you think the above actual sites are in terms of the traffic they drive in b) how much benefit are the links that these sites have for your site placement in google and the other search engines. your expeiences and opinions appreciated
I have used Froogle before and it did help me. Mine was a small niche. I don't know about your (Sunglasses?) I haven't used any of the other "price comparison" sites. I think having a feed for affiliates is very helpful for the affiliates.
I think if you're selling products, you absolutely need to create feeds for each of the portals you listed. While none of them will provide enormous amounts of traffic alone, you'll be able to drive substantially more than if you didn't use them at all. Those networks also typically work with second tier PPC search providers so your reach will be greatly extended through those networks affiliates. It's easy to create feeds, and depending on the quantity, I believe it to be a worthwhile investment of your time.
how much benefit do you think that the links from these site have on your sites ranking in terms of the big search enginesm such as google and yahoo?
