Popular deal sites – August 2008

Published September 7th, 2008 in Popular Sites Series. 1 Comment

This is August 2008 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 July results and includes all deal sites from my database that meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. I am sticking with the original limit as moving to 50,000 seems to cut some interesting sites.

The top gainer this month is bargaineering.com with a modest increase of (3.7%). Another interesting detail about this site, which is better known by the financial blog under the same domain, is that it is only PR2, the lowest in the list. The worst performers are forums techbargains.com (-22.08%) and anandtech.com (-20.08%)

Popular deal sites – June 2008

Published July 6th, 2008 in Popular Sites Series. 7 Comments

This is June 2008 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 and includes all deal sites from my database that meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. I am sticking with the original limit as moving to 50,000 seems to cut some interesting sites.

The top gainer this month is judysbook.com(99.02%) which jumps out of nowhere with a huge gain. Is this a sign that the site has been finally sold?

The worst performer is techbargains.com (-13.29%) but the change is within a usual fluctuation margin. Overall rank changes are mixed despite the bad economy and summer season. I honestly expected more red.

Daily Deal Website – TechBargains Review

Published March 10th, 2008 in Deal Site Reviews. 0 Comments

This week’s review is about TechBargains.com, which is one of the top ten deal websites in Yan’s popular website series. I should here note that, except for AnandTech which is a not really a dedicated deal website, every other website above TechBargains.com has been reviewed in the past.

Here is my first impression on visiting the home page, lots and lots of information in a single page. But there is a limit to it and this is too lot, to call it overloaded/cluttered. Doing a print preview (A4) on Firefox shows that there are 20 pages of content, which is about 11,500 words! Wow, that is just too much for any homepage. Added to this are the advertisements (banners, block of Google text ads) etc.

TechBargains home page

The homepage has a 3 column layout with the left side listing pretty much all the popular items in most categories while the right side is a listing of coupons for most of the websites they deal with. The center column lists deals for the past 2 days (no pagination) followed by two blocks titled “More News” and “Non-tech News” and which are nothing but again deals. A quick reading of the FAQ shows that they refer the deals as bargain news.

On continuing to read the FAQ, it shows that this website aspired to be a website like AnandTech (guide people on making decisions on tech products and additionally help in buying them) but then a visit to Product Reviews section of the forum shows that, this aspect of the website just does not make any appeal.
