mpire is not a price comparison site anymore, it seems they have changed their focus to advertising rather than comparison engines
nice list of sites. it would be great if you consider adding the ranks from compete.com, quantcast.com and some other sites which do popularity tracking. this like has 15 of those sites. hopefully using those will give a better ranking of the sites.
