I found that scottishwallet.com site you mentioned purely by accident. I guess I done a bad search on google when trying to find a specific type of wallet. Too funny. At the time, I decided to bookmark it for no apparent reason other than I was bored. I hadn’t really looked at it in a while until a week or so ago. That too was a bad yahoo search. Anyway, I noticed they now offer some sort of cash back program similar to fatwallet. Not sure that is new or I was just too oblivious to notice the first time. Although I am not too sure what this alexa thing is. Maybe someone can clue me in?

I don’t know if you’re limiting to American sites, but http://www.redflagdeals.com is the biggest Canadian site and bigger than all but a few of the sites on your list.

I was also wondering about the discrepancy. Thanks for the explanation. Has it actually taken you 2 years to cook the idea? :-)

Hi Yan:

In this list, dealplumber has been listed to be online since 2004, but that was when we had registered the domain name. We launched on July 17th, so just about 2.5 months old. I just wanted to confirm.

Best,

damideals was 7K short at the time I compiled the list. The rank must have grown ever since
scottishwallet: if you check their 1 week Alexa average it is actually less than 100,000. This is why I even mentioned them.

Why does the list have no hard limit? Partially because I want to see how popular the niche is. If we see newcomers that break the threshold it clearly says the market is getting hotter. And the opposite way: if sites start dropping out – it cools off.

I will add your two web sites. Thanks for the tip.

you say damideals is 7K short but it says it’s rank is 113,811, far off from the list
scottishwallet is even farther off: 159,384
dealigg, you’ve got a long way to go: 741,918
daddy-o, you certainly spam everywhere, but you still can’t break the list: 110,104

you could add cheapstingybargains, gottadeal or some other mediocre sites if you’re trying to be comprehensive. but you may want to stop at the top 15 or 20 since the rest are pretty lame compared to the top ones.
