Popular deal sites – July 2009

This is July 2009 revision of the Popular Deal Sites list. You can find the last month revision of the list here.

The change in rating shows the difference compared to June results and includes all deal sites from my database that meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. The list has 40 sites, the same number as last month

The average deal site gained 2.38% in Alexa rank this month with anandtech.com (13.77%) gaining most of all. The top losers this month are gottadeal.com (-9.51%) and buxr.com (-8.27%). Yeah, one of these is my pet project and I can confirm that it hit the dirt lately :-) . April was the best month but ever since traffic has gradually gone down. Talk about Alexa being worthless!

Watch “Lost” and other TV shows at Netflix

Netflix TV shows

I just logged in to my Netflix account and discovered that they have added Lost, Desperate Housewives, and a few other ABC shows to their streaming video collection. Here is the complete list taken from the today’s public release:

  • Lost - seasons 1-5
  • Desperate Housewives - seasons 4,5
  • Grey’s Anatomy - season 5
  • Legend of the Seeker - season 1,2

You obviously need a Netflix account to watch the shows on your computer or another Netflix enabled device but the streams are commercials free and you can watch as many as you want (no time limit) if you buy a plan for $8.99 / month. All of this is of course in addition to the DVD’s you rent from them.

By adding instant content to the website Netflix keeps pushing me closer towards shelling out a couple hundred bucks for a Netflix enabled DVD to our bedroom. We use a media PC to watch TV in our living room but every time I want to watch Netflix in the bedroom I have to use my laptop - not a very convenient setup especially if you fall asleep during the movie. ;-)
