There are three types of shopping search engines according to Bowler:

• Commission based model
• Referral fees model
• No-charge model

With a commission-based site, the whole transaction is completely done on the original site. You pay a commission for every sale from the site. An example of this model is Amazon.com.* (link) With a referral fee model shoppers may search and view products at the shopping engines, but ultimately, they clicking over to the client site to complete the transaction. Then there is the no-charge model – Froogle*(link) is an example of the no-charge model."

Each shopping comparison site accepts data feeds in a slightly different format, uses a slightly different naming convention, and a different specification for its data feed format. They also have differing inclusion policies - usually some form of fee for inclusion or PPC (Froogle is the exception - it's free). Differences apart, the data feeds typically require URL, click-through URL, title, description, body copy and keywords.
