Free product listing
As part of our ongoing promotion and service to merchants, we are currently offering to list products completely FREE for the first 100 merchants to join our program.
All we require is a product feed and a link to Deal-Seek from your site. See here for example links for you to use.
----------------------------------------
Product Feed
The product feed can be provided to us in several formats - please see FEED FILE SPECIFICATIONS for the full specification of this feed.
Merchants who are familiar with creating feeds for other sites such as froogle and shopping.com will find it a breeze.
Once the feed file has been created, let us know its location (the URL) - we will take care of the rest.
We are currently working on an account-based interface for this process, but until then, we are accepting applications via E-Mail only.
Until we reach full release status, our site is being refreshed from datafeeds on an irregular basis. Once we are fully functioning, we are hoping to be able to update our site from your feeds at least once a week, and possibly more often.
----------------------------------------
Is it really free? What's the catch?
There is no catch - all we ask is that you link back to our site using one of our links here
The only stipulation is that your feed must contain between 100 and 5000 products.
We reserve the right to refuse to list items that are offensive, illegal or deemed unsuitable for whatever reason (at our sole discretion). Our decision in this matter is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
This offer is not open to merchants with affiliate programs. If you have an affiliate program and wish for your items to be listed on our site, please contact us
----------------------------------------
Won't you be using my bandwidth?
No - we will "grab" your image files from your server and host them on our own server.
The only bandwidth we use is the initial "hit" when we obtain your images and the tiny ongoing bandwidth used to download your feed file on a regular basis.
----------------------------------------
Won't you start charging me at some point?
Absolutely not - for the first 100 merchants, we guarantee to list your products as long as our site remains in operation for no charge whatsoever.
----------------------------------------
Our service
We do not guarantee that you will receive any amount of traffic from our website, although over the coming months we are aiming to grow and develop our site as rapidly as possible, to the benefit of all our members.
We do not stipulate any specific placing or prominence of your items in any category.
At some point in the future, we intend to introduce a system whereby merchants can pay to have their product positions "boosted" in a certain category (or all categories), but this will be entirely optional.
We have no intention of ever turning into a pay-per-click type site.
