The Best Shopping Search Engines


The easiest way to comparison shop is to go online.  There are a number of shopping search engines designed to navigate various online stores and find the prices on items you want, saving you time and money.  Plus, many of these sites have product reviews, giving you helpful consumer feedback to aid in your decision-making.  These sites do not sell any products; they are strictly for comparison shopping.

A leading resource for both shoppers and retailers, BizRate was the first online consumer feedback and ratings site.  BizRate seeks to help customers find the best value for all the products they are looking to buy.  Search for products from hundreds of online stores and get prices, merchant ratings, product reviews, and tax/shipping information. 

Other top shopping search engines (as rated by CPC Strategy and Search Engine Watch) to try are Become.com, Bing, DealTime, Froogle, Google Product Search, MSN Shopping, mySimon, NexTag, PriceGrabber, TheFind, Yahoo Shopping.

As with bargain sites, I find that it’s best to use more than one comparison site at a time, as each site has unique features, reviews, and targeted retailers.  Consumer feedback and professional product reviews are indispensable when choosing between brands or determining whether a product is right for you.

If you have a favorite shopping search engine, please share in the comments.
