The Shopzilla page has been marked as having qualities similar to an advertisment. How can the information (which is all factual) on this page be rewritten so it does not give the appearance of an advertisement? I don't see it as an ad, so I need some help here. thanks.

Please leave your details on here, as it makes it easier to track who's doing what. To improve the article, we need to add information such as how the site compares against it's closest competitors, how it makes money, and any significant events in the company's history (good or bad). Basically, it needs to have more info than can be found just by reading the 'About Shopzilla' page on the website. Blowski 22:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I think a part of the issue is those with that kind of information, such as myself, are actual employees of Shopzilla. While there is a tremendous amount of detail that I could go into as far as how shopzilla makes money, operations, etc., it is difficult to determine what is for public consumption and what is not. I think most of us prefer to leave it to external agencies to figure out. I happen to know that two of the past contributors to the site are also Shopzilla employees... and they are probably just as mindful of that as I am... While an advertisementlike entry is not pleasant, it's much more conducive to job security. ;) 69.232.46.20 04:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
"The company's mission is to enable shoppers to find, compare and buy anything, sold by virtually anyone, anywhere." This is marketing jargon and boosterism. Rather than talk about the company's "mission", this article should talk about its business model. I would like to see this article cleaned up, but I can't do it myself because of conflict of interest.--OinkOink 07:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

See Also links[edit]

Why is it ok to have names of some similar companies in the "See Also" list, but not others? I feel that its misleading to have half the facts represented in an article. Here's a list of companies which are in a similar business Shopzilla, Shopping.com, Froogle, TheFind, Shopwiki, PriceGrabber, Kelkoo, Smarter, Yahoo! Shopping

If Shopzilla isn't notable what is?[edit]

To tag Shopzilla as perhaps not being a "notable" company is ridiculous. It's a giant. If we're going to ban companies from Wikipedia then we should ban companies. But obvious giants like Shopzilla? It makes no sense.... Drewhamilton (talk) 02:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Shopzilla is probably a notable company, but I think this article just need more 3rd party reference and be written in a way that doesn't make it look like an ad. For example, it mentioned that there are 400 employees there, where did the author get this information? JameyBM (talk) 17:22, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the constructive criticism that users such as Jamey provided. The article is noticeably slanted. It's as if the employees of 'Shopzillia' created this article (with no annotation I might add) to appear as if they were a major shopping search engine. The truth is, Shopzilla is not currently, or may never be in the public consciousnesses as say Google, Bing, Yahoo Shopping or even MySimon. College Watch (talk) 07:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
