In my opinion, what sets this program apart from the competition is the fact it provides an actual service to the visitor. The comparison shopping engine will grow in usefulness as the ammount of merchants grow.

Sounds great of course you can use my site. Thanks for your kind words. I have updated the site quite a few times to get the look right. Thanks

For the most part do not use PPC when using the dff tools and the 4th click does stop me. My hopes are that more sponsored merchants join dff which would help cover the cost of DFF doing business thus getting rid of the 4th click.

But I will do some minor PPC during the holiday season for certain keyword phrases that rank well. Last year the big one for me was "Digital Picture Frame"

I can point out that when you use the dff tools it gives you true data when trying to discover keyword phrases. Basically the DFF pages get indexed then see what search referrers do well. There are so many potential keywords from all the different XML feeds. You can use that "live data" to develop niche sites or deep linking within your site. This method has worked well although I haven't bee keeping up on it.

Actually Im using the php script on my pages like you I'm not much for programming. I decided to use site design to make the script look unique.

I would love to write an article for your site and I do run a blog although it hasnt been updated lately. http://blog.masternerd.com

What do you think a good topic would be for the article?

Hey guys,

Strange that Im showing 1700 from that datacenter. At one point I had 360,000 indexed and was getting 100-150 unique visitors a day. Looks like google is dumping my pages? I'm hoping there is a good update in my favor soon.

MSN has been tricky and yes I think if I could get indexed better there it would be my best bet. Weird though my products show up in products live & MSN shopping?

I have to agree that as more people use the script the harder it will be to get your pages indexed. I don't ever think I will get out of supplemental. I think the best bet for the future of my site and DFF would be to implement a more complete mod_rewrite so I can customize my URL's. As of yet they only provide this tool for the area where you compare prices. But they have left this tool open for more development.

My opinion is to stay away from PPC I have seen too many DFF users get irate when they lose out.

But the best feature of dff is its almost like a keyword tool. When you get a small stream of of traffic for a certain keyword phrase you can use it on a niche site or deep link it from your dff site.

Last X-Mas the big phrase for me was the IDF-1030 Digital Picture Frame.

I'm glad to hear it, and thanks Vlad for the kudos. My site has gone thru a bunch of re-designs and I think I finally have the look I wanted.

Andrew at DFF is eager to help although sometimes response times can be slow. If I have a major problem I just give him a call. Many of the features at dff were ideas from affiliates who use the tools. They like to think of the project as "open source". But there isn't any source code we can play with, open source ,I think relates, to implementation of ideas outside of DFF.

I'm trying to help the system grow some and started a site which could be beneficial to newbies to DFF. Check it out at http://dff.masternerd.com Right now it lacks content but if it works out I'll slap it up on its own domain.
