Battle of the 2nd Generation Comparison Engines
It’s interesting to see the 2nd generation of comparison engines roll out and see how they are performing.
The original or 1st generation of comparison shopping engines included existing heavy weights like Yahoo Shopping, Shopzilla, Shopping, NexTag, Google, and PriceGrabber. Now the second round of CSE entrants are gaining momentum. New structures, new marketing tactics, and new approaches has lent some popularity to these companies. Social shopping, research oriented structure, and just some hard core marketing have helped these comparison shopping engines gain in popularity and added ROAS points for merchants.
Hoped a quick look may highlight how these channels are performing over the year in estimated visits -
