MrSAPO.com Adds a Shopping Section to its Search Engines Interface

MrSapo.com, the Internets largest search aggregator, announced a new service enabling online shoppers to easily compare prices among the most powerful e-commerce outlets.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 21, 2005 -- MrSapo.com, the Internets largest search engines aggregator, announced today the addition of a shopping search section, featuring thirteen of the most prominent online stores, auction sites and price-comparison services. E-commerce leaders such as eBay and Amazon are among the array of sources that users can query at MrSapo.com, making it easier to find the best price for almost any product available for sale on the Internet.

Data gathered from price-comparison sites, shows that the gap between a specific item's lowest and highest prices has raised from 35 percent five years ago to 45 percent today. "The initial prediction was, price-comparison sites would create perfectly competitive environments in which all firms would have to charge the same price, but then there would be no reason to go to price-comparison sites" said Michael R. Baye, an Indiana University business professor who has been studying online price differences for more than five years. "We found that the fee structures at some price-comparison sites provide incentives for firms to charge random prices, so the prices change every day and consumers have a reason to come back to the price-comparison sites.", Professor Baye said.

At the shopping section of MrSapo.com, users are able to scan the results from several price-comparison sites like Shopzilla (former BizRate), Pricegrabber and NexTag among others, and in the same interface (without ever leaving the website), they can scan results of products searches and deals from thousands of stores listed on Yahoo, MSN, Froogle (a Google service) and many others.

With this new addition, MrSapo offers now more than 135 search services in one single interface, making it the single largest search aggregator in existence today on the Internet. Other available search sections at MrSapo.com are: basic search (featuring Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask and many more), reference, weblogs, images, audio, video and news.
