But Richard, sorry can't work out why Shopping.net got to #9 with only a small amount of "comparison"?

Article

[Rich]

The results are from Nielsen/NetRatings so will be on pure traffic flow rather than if the sites are any good.

If think its shows the value of some comparison sites with the comment: -

Surfers are visiting several comparison sites before buying
...
Some 70% of those who visited Pricerunner had also visited Kelkoo and one million visitors used both Dealtime and Kelkoo the report found.

Here's the original press release: - http://www.nielsen-netratings.com/pr/pr_040929_uk.pdf
Data was from July. Time per Person for Shopping.net is 15 seconds, most others are ~2mins with Kelkoo 5mins and Pricerunner 8mins. Is Shopping.net used as a domain for redirects or something?

I thought CompareStrorePrices was Chris? In any case well done (and I haven't forgot about the G2G chat).

I thought CompareStrorePrices was Chris?

it is. but I was looking at Shopping.net for the last bit looking at "quality".

its mainly an espot site so the theory, get em in and then get them out (a few times) comes into play.

Ahh, sorry, don't know much about shopping.net.

Anyone have an idea of the sums of money the likes of Kelkoo, Yahoo, Pricerunner, etc. make from advertising in the UK?

kelkoo would make £2.74p per quarter if it was relevancy based

"you searched for in card dvd player" ..."check out our range of related motorbike helmets now"

[MK]

On the whole Kelkoo, Dealtime etc.. Charge advertisers on a cost per click basis, which is essentially a ranked bid based model.

For mobile phone and consumer electronics clients we were paying in the region of £0.30 per click.

They will sell banners on a cost per thousand basis. Costs vary depending on the level of targeting, my guess would be that they vary between £15 and £5 per thousand.

so you were paying 30p a click on mobile phones via kelkoo, then they give us 15p per lead on TD for mobile phones.

So, for no real reason at all, they make 15p and get free traffic. nice
