Now this is where I have mixed feelings. I would without a doubt sign-up for Google Base. So that your products have a chance to appear in search results for free. You aren’t going to get much from it but it’s a start. For instance, If you setup the file and don’t have the best pricing. You could expect 10 orders per month. Below I will list the sites I have dealt with and my experiences.

My Thoughts: Google has been really good to me and my clients but lately they have been having problems with the data uploads. Urg! - Yahoo Shopping
I don’t know what it is with yahoo. Their interfaces are also so buggy and slow. I have to login a million times to finally get logged into their system. Something with the programming of that part of yahoo is messed up. (ok i will stop) But I have noticed google will pick up these links as back links (possibly useful for SEO). - Shopzilla.com
It seems to work ok but I am still unsure that this is a good tool for USA territory. It gets high clicks but not to many conversions (at least so far and will update this with more info when I get it.) - Shopping.com
There interface is pretty slow. But it doesn’t give you a ton of trash clicks. Seems that they have a better User Interface that allows the customer to see if that is what they need before clicking on your site. - NexTag.com
Now NexTag.com… They called me and told me they are the biggest in the USA. I am going to try them out however from personal experience. They are used in Store Fronts like Guitar Center to find the lowest price because they price match. I have never used them for anything other than that. - PriceGrabber.com
Any feedback about these guys would be great…
There is a lot of sites that do comparison shopping. You will have to check out if the site fits, for the product you are selling.
You might be able to get some back-links to your site to help in SEO but don’t expect very much. These sites have blocks so that some won’t be picked up by search engines.
