A few questions about starting a Comparative Shopping Website

Hi folks!

I'm new here and hope someone can help answer my questions. I want to start a comparative shopping website. I understand that when one becomes an affiliate of a certain retailer that the retailer helps one to develop his/her site. But in a comparative shopping website there will be products listed from multiple retailers at once. So in that case which retailer provides the product images and descriptions?

And if someone does provide them, then how will I receive them? I mean I want to design my own website but I can’t possibly make different pages for each of the products by hand seeing as how there can be hundreds of thousands of these. So how do people do it, is there some way to automatically fill in the provided pages received onto your own template and predetermined format???

Thanks.

I don't know much about this kind of business, but it seems that you also have no real background knowledge (this is not meant negatively, just a fact, I guess ;-)

For this reason, I think it is a good idea to check out existing websites offering that kind of service and ask becoming an affiliate of them.

While it may be easy to become an affiliate, it is not easy to earn money from such a deal...

Maybe someone reads this thread that is in this business and can assist you more specific.

I believe there are some site doing this as you wish, google it and see how it is.Good Luck
