Update: for the latest revision of this list go to Popular price comparison sites - August 2008.
This is March 2008 revision of the Popular Price Comparison web sites list. You can find the last month revision of the list here.
The change in rating shows the difference compared to February results. The list has a total of 34 web sites and there are 16 more sites in my database that don’t meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement.
thefind.com (43.18%) has been going strong for the third month in the row. They came in first in January and second in February. They have recently tapped into local search and made some partners and obviously gained a lot of momentum.
The worst performer is again mpire.com (-30.47%). I guess Matt Hulett keeps ignoring the business that brought him where he is right now with WidgetBucks.
