Dear Fellow Webmaster:

We would like to get the public's opinion about our site,
specificaly on these subjects:

1. Usability?
2. Ease of use?
3. Compared to other competitor?

Thanks in advance

Hello, and welcome to TWF! Thanks a lot for looking at some other sites fist. Sorry I wasn't able to review your site sooner Wink

This looks really good. I'm quite impressed with the setup and functionality. I like the way you've kept the main directory at the top and left the special deals and such towards the bottom of the page.

One thing I found when going through the directory page or search, is that the left side search bar takes up a lot of space. I really felt like the main area with the listings should be wiser. I actually kept trying to scroll horizontally to make that wider (didn't work, of course Smiling) I also didn't like the ad on the left side. Those vertical ads are annoying because you can only see the whole thing at a certain scrollpoint. I would replace that with some special deals or something in related topic areas.

Normally I would say that font size is too small but there aren't huge blocks of text here so I think it's okay.

One other thing I really like abut this is that you've kept the administrative links out of the way, at the bottom of the page. A lot of people are templted to put those front and centre, which really just takes space away from more important navigation.

I actually looked up a certain item I'm interested in and found two items to be out of stock (walmart.com) and another (to overstock.com) to be broken. This is something that could be a dealbreaker for your site. I don't know if you can even do anything about those though...

Good job overall! A solid site.

Very impressive. I like the look a lot. There isn't much to say other then this, I would chnage "Auctions Classifieds" tab to "Auctions & Classifieds".

This site is a great design of a nice idea. Comparing prices all in one place is a difficult thing to do on the internet. Question: Does your site get prices from major internet stores like: Froogle, Amazon, or Ebay? Also, I'm curious as to the benefits of your affiliate program. What percentage or $ amount do I get per sale and what are the other perks of being an affiliate. Those should be on the affiliate homepage as well as the login page. Nice job with the site!

Froogle isn't a store, it's just another price comparison site.
