There is already froogle out there, why do you want to create another site to fight with froogle or shopzilla? - KKK, 29 March 2007 6:20 PM
Hi KKK, the market is big enough for everyone. Even the small players can earn some revenue out of it. If I would to spend millions in creating a site to fight with shopzilla then I should have re-think my business model. But I created the site in a month with minimum investment in money and time. These days everyone can be in internet business with minimum investment. There will be millions of sites similar to mine but if I can target a niche market, I have a chance to get real good income. - edwinWang.com, 30 March 2007 10:07 AM
