I have been incredibly busy this holiday season. Comparison shopping is my niche and I really try to launch new properties. Last year it was Early Miser. This year I launched quite a few new properties and relaunched some old ones.

The biggest new launch I did is with Shop Sort. Shopsort is very similar to Early Miser with a couple of new features and a whole bunch of features stripped out. One thing I found about Early Miser is that the comprehensive coverage of product shopping on the planet has a price - namely in page size. It's not uncommon at all for a single product page at Early Miser to be 100k-150K in size. This meant that uptake in Google is far slower than I would have liked. After thinking about this for a while, I completely stripped Early Miser down to the metal. Features like price triggers and feeds while incredibly cool, need to be re-factored to be easier to use. Shop Sort just price comparison with calculations for zip code built into the code. I also stripped out the feeds, user accounts and price triggers, and limited results to a single provider, (Like I said, stripped to the metal). When I was done, the resulting page had a much smaller footprint and as a result has had a great uptake in Google. (Over 800,000 pages on the particular index I am looking at). I acquired Shop Sort when the previous site owner was looking for a small liquidity event. I bought the site and re-launched my project on it. It's currently average between 200-300 users per day (without advertising). In my quest for the most complete shopping experience, I had forgotten that sometimes speed trumps completeness. In fact speed and completeness of results are trade offs that you need to balance for the optimal user experience.
