Hi Guys,

First post..

Had a brief look, works well. What technology is behind it. Are the searches realtime or cached? Do you get commission for the links? If not it should be worthwhile.

No commission on the links, it has just been something I have been playing around with in the evenings from a technology perspective. More details of the technologies can be found on the blog at

The frontend has been build using the Dojo Javascript framework

not a bad idea at all for a site, and it seems to work well. My only problem is with the pricefindr - compare prices for Music CDs delivered to Ireland homepage, its not very userfriendly, or professional looking. The section explaining what the site does should not be in an "about us" section, but should be clearly stated in a bigger section either above or below the search box. Maybe you could have a section saying searches: and then a list of the logo's of the sites it searches, in order to get a bit of colour onto the main page. With a bit of work you could build some serious traffic and start earning commission - and make quite a bit from the idea! best of luck.

Thanks for the feedback guys, definitely taking it on board. The landing page does look a bit amateurish at the moment hope to re-work in the next day or two.

I agree. That works brilliantly. Apart from a reworking of the design, the only negative thing i can think of is that it is limited to only music. Extend that to other markets and you are onto a winner!

Been thinking about expanding it into other markets. I think that DVD's are probably the next vertical. Want to try and iron out some of the design problems and then I will probably look to add them in. Thanks for the feedback..

Default New pricefindr.ie feature

Just wanted to get some feedback on a new feature that I've added to the website. It's called trends it basically tracks price changes and then lets the users see the latest bargains. Any thoughts feedback would be great...

pricefindr.ie - price trends see the latest price movements

A weekly breakdown is are also available

pricefindr.ie - price trends see the latest price movements

You can refine results further to see individual results for particular websites.

Let me know what you think... Thanks
