HI All,
I wondered if anyone could answer me something - I came acroos a site thats a kind of price comparison site that or a shop opf sorts that takes products athen directs the user to a shop to by these when the click vistit store (PC World, Argos etc...) -and they must receive a comission from the stores if a user buys the products ...... the site is jellydeal.co.uk .

I wondered how they got all the feeds in there for the products - is this a white label site already supplied with the information (& presumably icecat pics and descriptions) - or does anyone know anything diifferent about this sort of site?

Cheers

No, probably the owner has joined affiliate programmes, at tradedoubler or affiliate window and gets a direct product feed which she/he downloads regularly and integrates into specially built software she/he had made or more likely made themselves. I would guess.

I should probably warn you that it's usually a waste of time to do it that way. Save you the trouble. Not that I'm going to tell you a great deal about the right way to do it! Life's too short to give it ALL away!

Now that's what I would class as a good domain name, and it conjures up a Cockney market trader thought
jellydeal -> jellied eel (works for me anyway )

It would appear they have a similar operation as Kelkoo or Amazon do, but with the addition of the "comparison engine"

Suppliers upload their products to the site.

thing is i have never heard of it till today - but i agree on the name - shonky code though all tables and inline styles :@

They do send you to all the same traders as the affiliate networks - I looked at the referral link and it's true it doesn't look like an affiliate link.

yeah, I've tested a bunch of products and every single one is leading to a trader you'll find on all major UK affil networks

so whatever the method is, it's all the same companies and probably the same level of income

so if i did want to have crack at this trype of thing - where would be the best place to start - i guess someone must be dishing out these feeds.

Someone i know is interested in doing something like this with me.

Start with the suppliers whose products you are interested in promoting. But don't forget jellydeal has been around for 4 years and for Kelkoo it has been 10 years now. So it's not an overnight thing.

Start off with a few affiliate suppliers / dropship programs and build it up from there.
