Its not done yet. I plan to add an average of one site per day for the rest of the year (or so I hope). I also need to better integrate my previously made Amazon AWS sites.

As for right now though. I have a database of over 1 million products from linkshare merchants alone and I haven't even turned all of the linkshare programs on yet.

Nice.

Are you doing the work personally?

Linkshare has that many datafeed affiliates? I've been missing out!

It all looks very good Chris...

I've signed up for that linkshare thing too, I'm gonna make a price comparision thing with it...

**Chris** · 11-06-2004, 09:07 AM

Yes, I did all the programming. It wasn't much though. The system is very modular and scalable -- not counting the graphical header it takes me only a couple minutes to create a new site. Feed pulling is automated too.

Won't it be hard to get enough PR to all of them to make a decent amount of sales?

Join the merchandiser program. It costs $250.

Nice idea, a lot of domains you've used

It Looks like a good site. The idea is great. Probably will make some good money... How big is the database, in MB?

**Blue Cat Buxton** · 11-06-2004, 12:16 PM

Nice - How many pages overall do you expect to create?

BTW the title tag for cute threads is reading discount luggage

Nice idea

Starting to really wish I had time to dedicate to this stuff.

Not sure a sentence in the first para of the site makes sense?

We have a directory of discount ecommerce stores for your shopping please.

I expect to eventually have around 3 million pages, not counting the Amazon ones.

Thats with linkshare, I plan to do the same for BeFree merchants and I do not know how big they are.

Currently the database is just over 1 gigabyte, thats of active products. Like I said some datafeeds aren't turned on yet. Walmart's feed alone is nearly a million products and it is not turned on yet (if ever).

**incka** · 11-07-2004, 11:14 PM

Buy.com's one is over 1 million products...

Wow, Chris. If you actually make one site a day you should be able to make some very good income. The PR from the sites interlinking alone and the amount of pages they have should be able to give you some fairly decent rankings.
