So, it always confuses me that things like this need to exist. I would differentiate with discount codes at the places people really shop - boutique sites like net-a-porter, etc. That'll jam a lot of traffic for them. Online shoppers love codes and they can become very viral. The only thing is that it HAS to be the stores people shop at - no Macys, DKNY, etc. We have a huge community on my site StyleDiary and nobody shops those kind of places - that's important.

Look at Shopzilla. The tech doesn't have to be that much better, but getting traffic isn't cheap. re: TJ “I just don’t understand why it takes $26 million to build one”

The results are a lot cleaner than the other CSEs, and they seem to have a good UI with big images and info tags. Makes browsing stuff a lot easier. I love the site!

It could appear futile to some, since shopping through basic search engine results have been tried and tested, but you'll never know -- trends can change.

Their margins are unbelievable. So until the economics change we'll continue to see more and more of them. I just don't understand why it takes $26 million to build one. I thought sites were supposed to be built on the cheap nowadays. Sounds like a Web 1.0 company in a Web 2.0 world. Shopping search engines are pure profit. Their margins are unbelievable.

How do they really expect to differentiate themselves from Yahoo Shopping, CNET, Nextag, Shopzilla, Froogle, Pricegrabber and everyone else? 500,000 stores? I thought there were grand total of 50,000 online stores in the US. Even if I'm off by a factor of three, their number is still too high to believe. WTF? Gawd, what a crowded space.
