Comparison Shopping Engines
Google Product Search
Google Product Search is Google's comparison shopping engine (CSE). Because retailers can list their inventory with no pay-per-click fees it is massively popular and has more merchandise than any other CSE on the internet.
Microsoft Bing Shopping
Bing is Microsoft's answer to Google and hence has a massive budget for both advertising and technology. In addition, as of August 2010, listing products on Bing became dramatically easier and (best of all) free. For these reasons, even retailers on a serious marketing budget should consider listing with Bing Shopping.
TheFind
TheFind is relatively hit and miss for merchants, however, it is free. Just like Google Product Search and Bing Shopping, there are no pay-per-click or cost-per-acquisition fees. For these reasons, the site is included in VersaFeed's Base Package.
Amazon Product Ads
Amazon is the most popular online store in the world. Many consumers head straight to Amazon to purchase items because of their reputation and size. Amazon Product Ads enable ecommerce retailers to reach tens of millions of shoppers via highly targeted ads and has some of the highest conversion rates in the industry.
PriceGrabber
PriceGrabber is a powerful shopping channel that provides product listings for Yahoo! Shopping, parts of the AOL network, and of course, PriceGrabber.com. In addition to this large audience, PriceGrabber also has a fantastic interface and extremely advanced bidding tools.
