At least one of them might have been using our technology in the backend, especially if they're one of the top 5 shopping search engines. The downside to feeds is that they become obsolete very quickly, especially if the product is popular. Products sell out very quickly, retailers lose money on traffic they can't onboard and shoppers get frustrated. Thanks for your thoughts! |

Which of these "top 5 shopping search engines" have you worked with? You don't seem to mention any on your website.

Feeds are the only way to keep up with frequently changing listings from large retailers (apart from doing live API requests) since scraping is several orders of magnitude slower. Amazon gives selected partners incremental feeds, scraping their millions of products takes days.
