Ok, here's the deal. I have been trying to setup a datafeed with DealTime, but they are so particular, its been impossible to get the to accept the feed. So, my only other option is to pay them a $75.00 crawler setup fee, then a monthly fee of $50.00 to keep the crawler visiting my site plus the CPC from all the items that would be listed within my site. Is it worth it?

On the other hand, Epinions.com has now merged with DealTime, and they will do the same thing, but won't charge me the setup or crawler fee, at least it doesn't mention that on their site.

So, does anybody have any opinions on which I should use? Which is better? Which is worse? Etc.

Thanks,

CompWorld

I use the dealtime feed method. Using a query in an MS Access database to pull the relevant information from my product database into the correct order for dealtime and then a one line macro to export it to an Excel spreadsheet file. Then upload it...
