    Hi Everyone,

    Most shopping sites charge between $0.10 to $1.00 a click with a minimum deposit of $100 (except pronto is only $50).

    We all know where there is CPC the is Click-Fraud! So what are these sites doing to combat it?

    Major sites
    Sites:
    BizRate.com
    shopping.yahoo.com
    pronto.com
    shopping.com
    smarter.com

    Sites immune to click-fraud
    google.com/products (the old froogle)
    jellyfish.com (CPA)

    Thanks for your insite!

    The only ones that are mainly immune to click fraud are the ones that offer a PPC affiliate program.

    Or are free, such as nytrokiss alludes to. It is free to upload your products to Google Product Search. The CPA by jellyfish.com means cost per action, so the advertiser is not charged per click, only by action (which usually means when someone buys).

    Here are a few more Shopping Comparison Sites that do produce some traffic.
    NexTag
    Shopzilla (owns BizRate)
    SHOP.com (CPA)
    Pricegrabber
