Customer Comments and Site Links
Hi everyone,
I'm afraid I had to remove the previous "Show off your site" thread as it's high page-rank meant that I was getting a lot of people posting links to non-Price Tapestry sites. Now that I have moderation on the forum system I can make sure this doesn't happen - so if you would like to post any comments or links to your Price Tapestry powered sites please go ahead...!
Use this reply link as it will make it easier to moderate posts...
Cheers,
David.
My site www.buy24-7.net has been going for about a year now, although thanks to www.pricetapestrytemplates.com I was able to give the site a little facelift recently, I've spent a lot of time editing and filtering feeds to improve the number of sites comparing prices eg. the Sharp LC46XD1E TV has 17 store comparison pages.
I must thank David for all his hard work on the script and for all the help through the forum! Price Tapestry is a Script I can't recommend highly Enough!

The Big Business Directory (www.the-big-business-directory.co.uk) is a directory of businesses in the UK and uses Price Tapestry in the Online shopping section (www.the-big-business-directory.co.uk/online_shopping/). This is the best system I have come across and I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially coupled to the support you get and unlimited free customisation via the Support Forum.
Thanks David for all your hard work!

Shop.MultiZ.com - Electronics Price Comparison Shopping
This is a collection of a few US electronic retailers, and they're compared using MPN.
I would like to show off my new and highly modified site, which uses this fantastic script. Have a look at Produktsuche, which is part of my shopping site.
Find All Sorts is a price comparison site I built to showcase loads of products and compare prices in as simple a way as possible for the user.
Price Comparison Site
My favourite feature is the find by price range, where users can enter an amount they wish to spend on a product along with a keyword, to find things at the right price. Useful when looking for products such as electronic goods that can vary in price enormously and you just want to see the ones you can afford, rather than wade through entire product ranges.
The price tapestry script has been great and very adaptable, it can really do alot and makes comparing prices in all sorts of ways easy!
Find All Sorts has several sections, with 2 main price tapestry installations, one is for UK price comparison shopping and the other for USA price comparison shopping . Where you can find products by brand, by store and by product name/keyword. Also each section has detailed categories, achieved by installing price tapestry in separate sub folders for each pre defined category.
So all in all, Find All Sorts gives visitors lots of option to find and compare prices of many products, in what is hopefully a very simple and easy to use layout.
Hi David,
I know I'm repeating a lot of people's comments when I say 'thanks for the great script', but I'll say it anyway!
Thought I'd post up a couple of sites that I have created using the PT script that are slightly different from what we've seen posted here before.
First off is a Mobile Phone comparison web site. Hardly the most niche of sites but something I've wanted to do so I just did it! This is the most I have expanded on the basic PT script so I thought I'd put it here. The site is mobilewiz and, if you couldn't guess, is a mobile phone handset/tariff comparison site.
The second site is one which I don't think I've seen posted on here before, a single merchant site. This is basically just an alternative front end to an existing merchant's site and therefore just relies on a single product feed and has none of the 'price comparison' specific pages. This is probably the sort of thing to go for for those niche areas. This isn't particularly that niche but again, it's something that I wanted to do. Anyway, it's a bicycle/bicycle part and accessories site - Cyclez
Hope these give you some more ideas of what can be achieved with this great script.
Cheers.

Here's my second Price Tapestry site (www.washeranddryer.co.uk) to compare washing machines, washer dryers and tumble dryers.
I've added a blog to the backend to make it easy to publish news, vouchers, latest offers etc. Hopefully the search engines will like this extra content!
Washer and Dryer Price Compare

Hello,
In this site I have started by using the PT backend to manage the merchants and feeds as per a normal PT script. The front has been totally re-built to accommodate mobile specific content. Still working on it, but seems to be stable and working.
Any comment welcome!
Thanks,
Simon.
Hello,
Would you use this site?
http://www.wardrobe-workout.co.uk/
What do you think of:
Colours?
Design?
Navigation?
Does it feel trustworthy?
If you were looking for clothes online would you linger or quickly go elsewhere?
All feedback gratefully received.
Thanks :-)

Hi all,
It's my first site:
Fiyat karşılaştırma ve arama motoru
I like it but I would say that :-)
I would try and offer some sort of incentive to get people to sign up to your mailing list. A 4 page pdf ebook or something similar that is relevant.
You may also want to look at adding some sort of reviews or blog section, to get some sticky content on your site.
I have a cycling and outdoor gear search on my site. It's been online for about a year. I haven't had much time to work on it and it's far from what I'd like to do but it's doing pretty well.
and here is my site:
price comparison shopping
I actually do datafeed campaign management and use this Price Tapestry to showcase my client's feeds and get them some free traffic. Third party templates are awesome.
Hi David - its really amazing script - saves a lot of time and if you know how to modify it you can make everything very easy - very good programming.
I am still working on my discount codes web site here: Discount codes from UK shops.
Cheers for this great job. The script is worth the money!
I have just put up a new price tapestry price comparison site for Hair & Beauty Christmas Gifts. Still loving price tapestry! And in the case of beauty products with all the millions of beauty product brands, I was very glad of the thread on caching the brands and categories for this project! Thanks for all your help David!
I've recently setup Adrenaline Junkie World, a price comparison site for experience days focusing on the more fun stuff - driving days, bungee jumping, sky diving etc.
First I must say this is such a fantastic script and support is phenomenal.
Here's my latest site
Similar url to another site on here using PT, but in my defense I will say my site name was registered first and I have been working on this for the last few months :). Should have got that domain while I had a chance, but there is room for us all :)
Still a good bit of work to be done on the site, shouldn't make too many waves this Christmas but hopefully everything will be indexed and setup for 2008.
Please let me know what you think, any bugs, anything which could be done better??
Again, many thanks David for all your help.
Cheers
Adrian
Sorry, missed you reply link!
I'm now working on uk boating holidays
Hi David,
For years I have been trying to make money on the Internet, and was doing quite well with google adsense on my content web sites, until google suddenly decided to de-rank my pages, (I guess they didn't like paying me too much!), So I decided to go back to my shopping affiliate programs and try these instead.
Having previously failed miserably in the past with affiliate web sites, I thought I would give it a try again after stumbling accross your fantastic script, and I've got to say how impressed I am with the results I am now getting with my sites.
One site inparticular is shopperquest.co.uk, and this gave me the idea to change some of my old content sites into price comparison sites instead, and although slowly, they are starting to pay off.
I have about 56 domains and I will gradually (through the year) start to convert them all, so far I have converted the folowing sites, using your great script and the pricetapestry template (customised slightly) from your recommended 3rd party:
Shopperquest Europe
Giftmoz USA
PrintMoz
DiyMoz
All the above are all still being improved and more product feeds are being added.
There are many more to come, I have some great niche idea's too!
Thanks so much for this script, it is well worth it, and worth purchasing the templates too!
Chris
My First attempt at a price comparison site. Currently has around 708,000 products.
Used quite a lot of mods mentioned on this site. Main ones include the merchant logos, open links in new windows, Brand filter, brand and category links and various posts about removing HTML from product feeds.
Developed a "widget" to show 3 books from Amazon on each product page - mainly using old code I had lying around from an old site. Also manually created an Amazon feed with about 60 products. Created a script to update the prices once a day.
One thing I would say is that I got chucked off one host who objected to me trying to import a 20,000 line product feed. Now hosted on somebody elses dedicated server and only import the bigger feeds (anything above 10k) once a week in the early hours of the morning.
Official Scotland - Official and unofficial products from the SFA (Scottish Football Association) and SRU (Scottish Rugny Union), along with other products such as whiskey, music and books from around Scotland.
Uses the data from my earlier Excellent Price site. Data is moved between them using SQL queries.
Hey everybody,
Nice to be here.
This is my first site created with PT, Compare Shoes Prices.
Thanks David, very cool script :)

It's a tribute to the support from David that as someone who had never written any PHP cod before I was able to modify PT to make my prescription drug price comparison site
It only has a few merchants on it so far but I thought I'd make it go live anyway. The tailoring things that David or this forum has helped with include:
- price comparison in base currency but price display in base and selling currency
- merchant images on prices screen that are "Buy" links
- adding new database fields
- finding best value by sorting on price per unit quantity
Despite my fragile ego, I should like to invite people to provide constructive feedback on the site, by using the site feedback form. All suggestions gratefully received!
Kind regards
Alastair
I am so impressed with the Price Tapestry script and what it has done for The Big Business Directory that I have created a new site based solely on using IAAI Software's products.
David, you are a star!

Hi Coyote,
Some users are working with a modified version of the script that can do comparison on ID fields such as an SKU which enables them to do this. Unfortunately it requires access to the feeds that have this information, which isn't readily available through affiliate networks i'm afraid...
Cheers,
David.
Ok thank you
That would be indeed the best thing to do : compare the universal id fields instead of product names which change from one merchant to another
maybe it will be available one day, if so it should not be difficult to adapt Tapestry script...

My new site compares prices of blu-ray players and accessories at

Not many merchants yet but I'm saving up to pay for the Linkshare datafeed fee!
As always, much help received from David including tips on making it work for multiple regions via a cookie. I"m sure this is not earth shattering for the technical experts in this forum but I felt pretty pleased with myself for getting it to work as a non-techie!
Kind regards
Alastair
Here's my latest efforts
This one is for adults only. Also, if you're a sensitive soul you might want to avoid taking a look.
It does list adult toys and sexy adult clothing.

I like this script. Very easy to install.

My latest site VirtualDiscountCard.com uses pricetapestry to power the search etc even though its actually a cashback rewards site not a price comparison site.

My another PT site UK Price comparison site. Need more costumization though.
Hi all,
Thought I'd share a couple more sites with you!
This one is 'adults only', as I'm sure you could guess from the title and url!
Nothing too much out of the ordinary with this site but a few mods here and there and I've also played with the RSS feeds to incorporate my affiliate link.
The second one is TeamShirts
This one is a bit 'work in progress' as I'm playing around with the tables and menus a bit to try and improve the categorisation. I also need to sort out the url rewrites but that might be a bit hard for me - need to use loops!
Anyway, see what you think.
Cheers.

This is my new PT site Health Products Price comparison site. More niche to come :)
My Australian Shopping Comparison Site
Another slightly different way of doing things!
This is a small site of only a few pages but the main 'Buy' page pulls in data from my mobilewiz database. The database is queried for the Apple iPhone and as this hasn't been released yet puts up the details of a similar phone. Once the iPhone is out, this will be displayed here.
I should be able tie up the Reviews section too but this will take some more jiggling as I'm not using a 'Product' page as such, the Buy page is a very modified prices.php. I also can't use sitemap.php as this will generate a sitemap containing all the urls from my main database - which I don't want! I'm not sure what the bots will see though but I think I've blocked them from doing the same.
Cheers.

A1 Price Comparison Site - 1.9 Million items from about 150 data feeds.
Running "Pink Temptress" template from PriceTapestryTemplates.
Also runs a seperate module that I developed to display live eBay feeds. It uses MagicParser to display the feed.
I have just launched a site using Price Tapestry. Please check it out: iPod Prices.
Tell me what you think BestBuyers.
Thank Dave for this wonderful script.
I've purchased this script only 6 days ago, but am satisfied with it's features and what's possible to do with it. Here's my 1st site based on PT:
(18+ or 21+ age required to view :)
I revitalized a site that used to have PT and then I moved to joomla but never got the site off the ground until I reinstalled PT, here it is:
http://www.hockeyshopper.com/
I've integrates shopping.com results using a script I purchased and it's still a work in progress.
UKSave gets a fair amount of visits and in the run up to Christmas it's getting some much needed updating of the feeds, it gets regular reviews posted and further upgrades planned are for a discount code section for all the merchants listed on the site.

This is my first site with Price Tapestry, I have to thank David for the excellent support I have received. Cheers!!
I've taken a slightly different approach to PT. I've started using pricesExternal.php to populate a price comparison table on a Wordpress page after a specific product review.
It's work in progress but feel free to have a look at the last few posts .. Camera Reviews
Feedback always welcome. Thank you to David for his support through this.
Hi,
“Phenomenal” that’s what I have to say. I just have to add a couple of comments about this great script and the phenomenal support that David gives you with your purchase. David’s support for his script is beyond anything I have ever experienced. I needed some modifications, and seeing that I am not very literate in scripting language; he offered to do them for me. Wow!!!, these where not small modifications. I have never seen such support from anyone. He really cares about his work and the people that purchase it, from what I have seen so far. He is extremely professional about all of it as well. The script, as everyone else mentions, is superb. It works right out of the box!!!, and is extremely easy to install and modify. If you are not sure about purchasing this fine piece of work, well don’t think about it anymore. Just read all the other comments and forum posts and you will be convinced of its value, not to mention the incomparable support from David. My experience with this script, as you probably know from reading the latter, is astounding!!!
Keep up your excellent work David!
Sincerest regards, all the best,
Charles
Hi,
Got another site to share among the masses. Again, it's slightly different to anything posted so far so again I hope it will give you some more ideas of how the script can be used. Not all the links are working as yet but the core PT stuff is all OK. Also you'll have to bear with some dodgy formatting as I am fighting tooth and nail with the CSS!
Anyway, main things are the categorisation and therefore the navigation menus plus a load of extra fields used for the event date and location information. I'm going to try and get Google Maps up and running on there to make use of the post code information. I have also added extra fields for display purposes i.e. a separate field for the product name as it is displayed and how it is used in the url - this means I can keep 'illegal' characters in the displayed names. I haven't as yet toyed with the url rewriting but am not sure if I'll bother as I've done it for the actual 'product' pages and I think that's sufficient. So, need an event ticket?? Head to theTicketPlace !!
Cheers.

Two weeks ago, I added the Price Tapestry program to my site. I'm already getting organic search traffic and I've made a handful of sales. Customizing the template to fit your site is very easy, and even easier if you use the tools under the "Links" menu at the top of the Price Tapestry Homepage.
Not only is Price Tapestry a great program, you'll get unmatched support. I'm amazed how quickly David can diagnose a problem and have a solution. David was very patient in helping me get my site up and running, and I'm sure he will offer the same help to you.

Thanks to Price Tapestry and David's help and patience, a beginner like me has been able to put my first price comparison site together.
Thanks David
I just can't say enough about how great Price Tapestry is and how great David is. Price Tapestry has completely changed my life as I can do all the things I ever wanted to do with my price comparison sites. I was doing them manually before! Now, it's as quick as a couple of clicks here and there to get my feeds running and updated each day with Price Tapestry. Even more important, David's customer support is more than words can describe. He is always there to help with any issues and responds to inquiries right away. He has helped me with issues on my site even unrelated to Price Tapestry! I can't rave enough about David and PT!
Just wanted to say that I'm absolutely over the moon with Price Tapestry, and especially David's support, it has made my job so much easier.
I'm currently using the script to get the best prices for the home cinema products I review on my Home Cinema Buyer website, with great success.
Got this all setup nicely now thanks David for your support in getting our videogame comparison site up and running!
With the success of my first price tapestry site I've created a few more.

Best Goggle Deals

David continues to offer wonderful support, and the forums have been helpful when looking to add features. If you're still on the fence about Price Tapestry, buy it and you will not be disappointed. If you give it time, the software will easily pay for itself.
