Hi,

In my region there are plenty of e-commerce websites selling the same products for varying prices. I plan to create a website that displays these products and ranks them from the best price allowing users to go to my website and use it to find the best price for the product and then link to the website selling the product.

I came accross this idea by being a consumer of the product myself and having to always check all these different websites for the best price/deal. There are others I know who do the same thing so I think having a one stop website displaying all the prices could work well.

How I plan to make money of this is setting up an afilliate link where if someone visits my site, searches the product and then clicks the link and buys the product then it shows the supplier where the buyer came from (my website) and I can ask for a percentage of the sale.

I am searching for advice if this is the best way to try make money using this website idea or if I could make money going about other ways?
How do you think the competiting websites will react to my website? I sopose some might not like being 'aired' out as being the most expensive.
Will these websites be keen to pay me by directing customers to them?

Thanks for any help!

    Just google Price Comparison script.

    You will find a lot of wordpress plugins for this type of site.

    It is not always about having the cheapest price.
    People will pay more for quality and assurance. So having good customer feedback and interaction is vital.

    Check out sites like kelkoo.com even google.com/shopping

        Thanks for the replies. BTW the products are exactly the same accross the board, but price does vary from place to place. Service, shipping costs, shipping times are the main variables.
