Hi gang,

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend the top sites that either a) enable businesses to submit trusted feeds of their products to their shopping search engines (e.g. Froogle) or those offering paid trusted feed models like Shopzilla. What's out there that you would recommend and that will acutally drive conversions for customers? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

We have good results for our clients with both Froogle and Shopzilla, using tools that we have written.

They're both sites I would recommend to clients ... what exactly is your question?

We have used several and here are my thoughts:

Amazon - has it's good and bad points
Good: large potential customer base, consistant
Bad: low average order size, hard to revise product due to "master record" issues

Shopping.com - Has been doing fine, but items under a certain amount don't make since to list since it is CPC

Shopzilla.com - Didn't perform well for our product mix. We stopped.

Froogle.com - A no brainer. Fast and easy. Not many conversions, but the price is right.

There are several others that we looked at or even tried, but nothing that seemed a good fit for us.

Hope this helps a bit.
