The change in rating shows the difference compared to September results. The list has a total of 34 web sites which is the same number as last month. There are 18 more sites in my database that don’t meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement.
Just as I predicted last month, jellyfish.com dropped off the list, but I added one more website this month - dealio.com is now taking position #20, so the total number of sites in the list hasn't changed
The best performer this month is shopwiki.com (26.23%) who passed bottomdollar, the last month leader, by a small margin. Another notable event is that shopzilla.com has passed pricegrabber.com who has been on a steady decline for some time. The worst performer this month is again dealtime.com (-41.28%).

This is September 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 August results. The list has a total of 34 web sites which is the same number as last month. There are 17 more sites in my database that don’t meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement.
One website is probably going to be out of the list very soon, jellyfish.com (-50.87%) which is the worst performer this month and currently stand at the last position. After Microsoft integrated cash back part of the site into Live Search, JellyFish is technically no longer a price comparison site. Smack shopping is all that is left of it.
The best gainer this month is bottomdollar.com (54.74%) which had a terrific month according to Alexa. If anyone has an explanation to this phenomena - speak out! ;-)
