How NexTag works?

NexTag like all CSE's Comparison Shopping Engines, earn their revenue by displaying merchants prices and getting consumers like me and you to click on these displayed ads. The business model for NexTag and all other CSE's is to give the consumer the best experience on their site so that the consumer will consistently come back to compare every product he/she will buy in the future. NexTag has many competitors that offer a similar comparison service. Each will be reviewed individually and a summary will be compiled.

Why should I use NexTag or any other CSE?
 
You just made a decision to purchase an Ipod and now it boils down to "who can deliver the best price".
 
Choice 1 - go to 40 individual web sites and look up the prices and take notes as you accumulate each price plus the shipping charges and don't forget tax if the vendor is located in your state. The time to do this your entire weekend!
 
Now lets take a look at NexTag!
 
 
 
 
NexTag.com like all other comparison shopping engines has an alphabetical listing of products and sub products to choose from. Interesting about Nextag.com is that they choose to use 66% of the home page for products ant the other 34% for Mortgage Hotels and education. There appears to be a great conversion and payoff for those areas and therefore they are featured on the home page. Remember NexTag.com like all other sites are not out to find the lowest price for you, rather to display the highest bidder first.
 
 
I decided to drill down on electronics and got back the above screen.  The categories vary from 14 items in Minidisk to 65,662 items in Audio and Video Accessories. I am not excited about the listing method. I would prefer additional linked to many other sub topics on this page. You are probably wandering whey don't they correct it? The bottom of the page is a clear indicator that each additional page displayed ads to the number of impressions and ads served.
 
Lets  look at NexTag.com CD Players and Recorders. The last listing Pioneer CD J200 Professional DJ CD Player has 12 sellers ranging from $329-$399. Before you click to see all 12 sellers, Nextag.com already displays their premium advertisers in red as a hyperlink to grab your attention and help increase conversion for these stores. Again, NexTag is not concerned with displaying the three lowest prices which is the reason you actually came to the site "to compare all prices and then choose a reputable dealer/reseller to purchase from". The Sony RCD 500C is listed starting from $220 yet the lowest price in red is Etronics at $225.
 
Pioneer CDJ 2000 - Have you heard of most of these vendors?
TV City, Electronic Expo, DJ Deals, ZZounds and SameDavMusic. The available since date helps put the product in perspective. this product has been available since July 30, 2005.
 
 
 
Price History helps consumers see the price trend over time. There is also a number of sellers and leads per month which indicates the products popularity. Overall its a good site.
