The “fame and glory” radiated by Woot isn’t going unnoticed. Others have picked up the tab and there are probably more Daily Deal web sites today than there are traditional ones. Here is a brief list of those that I am aware of. Post a comment if you know a web site that I missed.
Dedicated One Deal a Day web sites:
- Woot is probably the best known one. Their blog is fun to read even if you don’t participate in the auctions. They recently launched a wine section
- Yugster is another very popular and well designed web site. They offer Second Chance Offer when the original item is sold out.
Stootsi lures customers by offering a full refund to the first person to buy a new product that they launch every day at noon(dead as of 06/02/10)WaitYourPrice which I reviewed earlier offers a full Dutch auction with the price going to zero until the items are sold out(dead as of 03/22/07)- AtomicShopping is another reverse price auction offering a wide range of items for sale
- Tanga offers daily deals and games
- LunarLoot offers a daily offer on electronics
- SteepAndCheap specializes in outdoor equipment
- BFIZ offers fine jewelry daily
- MidnightBox is more a game than a typical deal site. You have to guess what is offered for sale before you know what you are buying. The first person to guess gets a prize.
- GamesDuJour just launched in December 2006. They sell one downloadable PC game a day at a deep discount
- BitsDuJour features software for PC, PDA and smartphones. They don’t sell but rather arrange a discount and link you to the vendor
- MacZot offers software for Apple Mac
- GoingToday offers gear for musicians
- Shnoop offers daily deals in general merchandise
- Dealko offers daily deals on a wide range of products. You get perks like a prize if you guess the “sold out” time. Today every 20th sale was free.
ChickChock is another deal of the day site. Their slogan is: One Day. One Chance. One Choice(dead as of 02/15/09)- RadCru is a daily deal site for wine lovers
- DealDotCom with the help of their minions are selling one internet marketing product a day. Useful for people with online presence, blog owners and webmasters
Around the Globe:
- iBOOD offers an online offer daily and covers most of the Europe
- Zazz is the oldest Australian One Deal a Day web site
- CatchOfTheDay has recently joined them with a very similar front page design
Also worth mentioning:
- JellyFish has recently started Smack Deal of the Day promotion. It is a reverse price auction featuring one item a day
Overstock has a Steal of the Day section(dead as of 03/11/08)- Buy.com offers Deal of the Day
- MontRed offers a fine jewelry deal daily

If you feel overwhelmed, here is a helping hand:
- DODTracker lists a ton of Daily Deal sites and shows details on the current deal for each. With over 50 deals listed it looks like a real time saver
