Future Trends: Diet Comparison Engine Anyone?

Here is a quick thought: why doesn’t someone come out with a dietary shopping comparison engine? Perhaps there is already one in existence, and I have not found it, but otherwise I would expect to see one soon.

Inspired by a Hitwise, I am well aware the dietary and health segment is a booming industry. Envisioning a listing of supplements and diet pills, exercise systems, and more with a customer feedback system does not seem a huge leap. Throw in a little information here and there, and you could have something.

If you are wondering, the current leaders in this segment, for women 35-44 are listed below:

    Great idea. It makes me think that there is still quite a bit of growth potential for the niche markets for comparison sites. Obviously anything with a UPC can be compared, but anything that has an ample supply should also be up there as well (Kayak.com does this really really well).

    Thanks for the link ;-) and I’m happy to see us there at #6. We have big plans for ‘08 and I’m sure we’ll do even better with the end-of-year results next year.

    FYI - I’m sure our affiliate manager would be more than happy to work with anyone that starts such a shopping engine by providing a product/price feed, coupon codes, etc.

    Glad I found this site. Bookmark=Added.
