How many shopping search engines are there? Even my influencer collaborators were surprised – and you will be, too. If you sell products online, expanding to additional marketplaces can really increase your income. The questions is, which marketplaces have the largest audiences? Which are the best fit for what you sell? Read on to find out.
GoDataFeed published the results of their research this week in the form of this 20 Best Shopping Engines for Retailers infographic:
I first came across GoDataFeed years ago when I managed AdWords accounts for clients. Their capabilities were so impressive that I encouraged my clients to upgrade the way they fed products to shopping sites like Google Shopping, Shopzilla, Nextag and PriceGrabber.
Unfortunately, we ran into an issue with the way Yahoo! Stores handles images. That didn’t change my opinion that what GoDataFeed was offering was beyond anything I had found anywhere else. I have no doubt using their service would greatly increase profits. Who better to research the ecommerce shopping landscape than the folks behind the leading product feed solution?

All of the data above is also on the infographic below. It also includes the most popular mobile shopping apps, the best places to buy product listing ads. and the top marketplaces – sites like Amazon, eBay, my personal favorite Newegg, and others you probably never heard of that have huge audiences of buyers who could be your customer, too.

Hi Chery,
Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment. NewEgg is similar to Amazon and individuals can sell through them. But they are a small business not a publicly traded corporation. Personally, I prefer not to shop at Amazon.

Surely, it is important to look for the shopping engines that readily fit into the type of audience needed by a particular business.
I have not heard about most of these search engines but its really cool to know how they can be accessed to maximize sales in the marketplace.
I guess researching more on each of these “new” search engines would be a good idea.
