All they have to do is convert those links that do have affiliate programs into tracked links.</p><p>Since almost half the products on the ShowWiki site appear to have an Amazon link - just adding an affiliate code to those links could produce a considerable revenue steam.</p><p>After all, Epinions turns product reviews into affiliate dollars and seems to be doing quite well. A similar comparison can be made with ShopWiki and sites like <a href="http://Shopper.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Shopper.com">Shopper.com</a> and <a href="http://Shopzilla.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Shopzilla.com">Shopzilla.com</a> (neither is user-generated, though both are doing quite well with affiliate revenue earnings).</p>Mike BijonTue, 18 Jul 2006 02:31:25 -0000http://mashable.com/2006/06/28/shopwiki-launches-video-reviews/#comment-5896512<p>Pete - I dont think they are injecting affiliate codes into product links because they no feasible way of doing so. You see there are 2 basic models: the affiliate model and the spider the web for data model. These guys have selected the latter and are spidering 1000's of e-commerce sites, grabbing images, descriptions and ratings (which in of itself seems to be perplexing as to why this is permitted legally).</p><p>The affiliate option, which they have not chosen, does not require any web crawing because affiliate programs always provide all the above content without needing any fancy web crawling technology.</p><p>Given this, I dont see how they could possibly employ both models.</p>Adrian SoltanWed, 28 Jun 2006 14:34:02 -0000
