Popular deal sites – September 2007

This is September 2007 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 August results. The list has a total of 29 web sites. There are 47 more in my database that didn’t meet the Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement.

Two websites come off the list this month, dailyedals.com and mrcheapstuff.com, as their rating falls below threshold. For the third month in a raw the best rating change comes from cheapstingybargains.com (25.96%) who advances 4 more positions up. The worst result comes from fishingfordeals.com (-25.65%)

CheapStingyBargains Alexa

If you look at the chart above, you will notice that the cheapstingybargains.com number is really a fallout from the surge in August (the Alexa number is 3 months rolling average). The site rank hasn’t changed significantly recently.

The overall trend across all deal sites is slowly improving. Alexa rank changed (-0.48%) on average this month compared to (-3.59%) in August.

Popular deal sites – July 2007

This is July 2007 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. The list has a total of 33 web sites. There are 43 more in my database that didn’t meet the Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement.

This monthly blog post keeps shrinking as more sites fall off the list. dealshack.com and hotdealsclub.com have disappeared this time. Among the sites that managed to stay in the list, the best results come from cheapstingybargains.com (17.7%) and the worst come from fishingfordeals.com (-37.49%)

The overall trend stays firmly negative. Alexa rank changed (-7.88%) on average this month and so far I have no explanation as to why this is the case for the past several months.

Popular deal sites – June 2007

This is June 2007 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 May results. The list has a total of 35 web sites. There are 39 more in my database that didn’t meet the Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement.

There is little movement at the top 10 positions and all the action happens in the middle and towards the end of the list. daddyodeals.com is off the list and mrcheapstuff.com is back after a record gain of 7.74% this month.

The worst loss in June comes from fishingfordeals.com (-33.24%) which brings them down by 3 positions. Another troublesome event is cheapstingybargains.com loosing ground by 4 positions after -9.72% drop in Alexa rank. This highlights the tight competition taking place close to the end of the list.

Popular bargain hunting sites – March 2007

This is the March 2007 revision of the Popular Bargain Hunting web sites list. ou 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 44 web sites. There are 28 more in my database that didn’t meet the Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. Two web sited dropped out of the list this month, mightygoods.com and deals.com (info).

Bargain sites continue to get slaughtered across the board according to Alexa. On average Alexa rank has decreased by 27.07% compared to 11.13% last month. Since we are well off in the middle of the year, the decline can no longer be attributed to post holiday period. Other than the on-going Google update, I can't think of other reasons for the change.

One thing I would be curious to know is if this is an absolute decline in traffic to these websites (reflecting declining popularity of deals & coupons) or a relative one (reflecting growing popularity of other online industries). Are there any website owners out there who will volunteer to disclose traffic stats?

Going down to individual performers, gottadeal.com keeps losing the ground. It has the worst decline this month again, 121.43% to be precise. Below is their 6-month chart

Gottadeals Alexa

The biggest gainer this month is fishingfordeals.com with a small growth of 12.71%. The site is a plain vanilla bulletin board, a rather popular one though.

Enjoy the full list below and as usual, let me know in comments if I missed your favorite deals site. The coupon sites now have a separate list. Check it out!
