Update: for the latest revision of this list go to Popular price comparison sites - October 2008.
This is August 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 July results. The list has a total of 34 web sites and there are 17 more sites in my database that don’t meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. 34 is one less than last month - salescircular.com seems to be missing.
The best gainer this month is shopwiki.com (26.12%) which has been doing very nicely this year, up to #23 from #31 in December, 2007. The worst performer is dealtime.com (-32.2%) which managed to pass JellyFish in its fall down. I wonder what is going on.
