Meg from dLook posted a list of Top 100 Australian Websites based on the Alexa traffic rank. While Alexa traffic rank is no where near an accurate measurement of real traffic, it is still a good indication of how popular a site is. The top 100 contains all kinds of web sites, but I will [...]

Cashloop‘s motto, “it pays to shop online”, pretty much reflects its business model — it is (yet another) cashback/moneyback/reward website that gives back a part of its affiliate commission to its members. When you enter into online retailer’s websites via these guys, an affiliation cookie will be installed on your web browser, so that any [...]

Have you ever wondered, why people run websites? Especially the websites that aggregate hot bargains? In an attempt to answer a question on the Whirlpool forums, I posted a list of Australian bargain sites, which got me into thinking this question (my post has been deleted but that’s another story). There have been quite a [...]

Ever since Digg raised to popularity, community-based voting/bookmarking sites pretty much spawn into every corner of Internet. After all, in the age of Web 2.0 user-generated/user-moderated content rules. There is no exception in the realm of bargain hunting and sharing. What was once dominated by forum communities, many Digg-like sites have also emerged over the [...]

Dealighted is a relatively new deals / bargains website. It describes itself as: dealighted is a selection of today’s best deals + many deal forums combined into one. Under its nice and clean user interface, it is actually two different sites. You have a deals aggregator that analyses forum threads in major deal forums, and [...]

I have just read ProBargainHunter’s review on Crazy Refund, one latest start-up that gives affiliation sale commission back to the customers. But this is with a twist — you get full refund the purchase price, only if you are the “lucky winner”. For example, according to this table, one out of 40 shoppers at Buy.com [...]

We are hoping to interview other Aussie online bargain hunters / deal website operators in the future, and big thanks to Raja Devanathan of Save As You Spend to be part of our first interview. Hi Raja! Introduce yourself and tell us who you are. [...]

100 Big Coupons is a comprehensive directory of online shopping coupons. It has coupons for many top retailers in the United States, and its goal is to help online shoppers to save big. Yet there are already many coupon sharing sites with similar goals, and what makes 100 Big Coupons different? From its about us [...]

OneItem.com is yet another one deal a day website — like Zazz, Catch of the Day and SnapItUp — but with a twist. First of all, it actually has two deals everyday. Secondly, the products are specifically for babies and toddlers, or rather — they are for those keen new parents who are looking out [...]

From its About Us page: 9malls.com online shopping mall is dedicated to providing its visitors with coupons, coupon codes, special offers, discounts, and shopping information that will save users money and enhance their on-line shopping experience. From its “About Us” page, it also details what sets 9malls.com apart from [...]

I have just had a chance to test drive MoneyBackCo, who tagged themselves as “Australia’s Moneyback Community”. It is basically a “cashback” site, where they give you back the commissions from the affiliation sales, just like Buckscoop and OzRewardS which I have previously reviewed (as well as the biggest in Australia, EmailCash, which I haven’t [...]

We all love great bargains — getting something and paying less than everyone else in the neighbourhood. But for some of us, we love freebies even more!! I have been subscribing to The Freebie Blog for the last two months, and I was amazed that how many freebies are there on the Internet! The latest [...]

Jonk’s Bargains is an interesting Australian bargain site. First of all, it is what it claims: This website turns grown men into excited school-girls. While I do not completely agree with this statement, but I have no doubt that whoever runs this site do “spend THAT many hours on the internet finding the best, cheapest [...]

Just found another great Aussie cashback shopping site — Buckscoop, with its tagline “shopping… with a cherry on top”. It’s a new website (since Nov 2006), and WA-based. Its front-page pretty much tells us what this site is: Scoop: Earn cashack at loads of major online shopsSave: Browse the hottest member-submitted dealsShare: Hang out with [...]
