shopzilla, inc. is one of the largest and most comprehensive online shopping networks on the web. through our leading comparison shopping sites, urltoken and shopzilla. com, shopzilla helps shoppers find the best value for virtually anything they want to buy from thousands of online retailers. based in los angeles, shopzilla operates sites in the u. s. , u. k. , france and germany. the company is owned by scripps networks interactive, inc. (nyse: sni), which include national lifestyle tv networks such as hgtv, the food network, fine living and more .
rt @ klipschaudio had a great call w / folks at shopzilla. refreshing to find actual (& fun) personalities on the commerce side of the internet
prior to adding become. com, the company’s price / shopping aggregation sites included bizrate, beso, shopzilla, retrevo, tada, prixmoinscher, and spardeingeld .
“while we believe that shopzilla has strong growth potential in the online retail space, its mission and future trajectory diverge from sni’s focus on lifestyle media brands, ” said joseph g. necastro, chief financial and administrative officer for scripps network interactive. “the best way to create the most value for both parties was for shopzilla to find a new partner and for sni to continue to focus on its core. we believe stg will be a strong partner and will enable shopzilla to accelerate its growth. ”
j. t. treadwell, stg managing director, said shopzilla
is a tremendous leverage point to create value for consumers, to generate sales for merchant partners, and to drive innovation in new models of consumer e - commerce. in addition, shopzilla’s management team is innovative and driven. they have created one of the most important players in online retail .
los angeles - based shopzilla is a consumer lead generation platform that owns and operates a portfolio of online consumer shopping properties in comparison shopping, product discovery and social shopping / group sales .
shopping search program shopzilla' s shopping search engine is a highly effective, cost - per - click marketing program designed for online retailers. every week shopzilla sites (including bizrate) direct millions of pre - qualified, ready - to - buy shoppers to thousands of online stores participating in our shopping search engine program. to learn more, visit our shopping search engine program overview page .
shopzilla has offices in los angeles and san diego, california and one international office in london, uk. the company operates sites and business services in the us, the uk, france, and germany .
throughout its history shopzilla has focused on expanding its service beyond its primary comparison shopping site. its large portfolio of websites serves a very wide audience. the company has started using more rich media on its digital properties .
but things didn’t pan out as scripps had hoped — partly because shopzilla needed to pay more and more to google to attract visitors to its aggregation pages; and partly because people simply were shopping online differently than how they used to .
palo alto - based stg will pay $ 150 million in cash immediately upon closing of the transaction and $ 15 million in deferred payments and said it
intends to continue and accelerate the growth of shopzilla through innovation and operational expertise .
the company has benefited from a recovering economy that saw higher ad spending by marketers in recent fiscal years. shopzilla' s improved earnings are also the result of better search indexing and tracking of key trends. in addition, the company has enjoyed stronger operating results in europe .
connexity, when it was still called shopzilla, is even more of a legacy dot - com play. it was originally founded in 1996 and raised just under $ 75 million. it was then sold to e. w. scripps for $ 525 million in cash in 2005 as a play for the publisher to grow its online advertising business .
some consolidation in the world of e - commerce site aggregation and marketing. connexity, the price comparison shopping and marketing technology company that rebranded from shopzilla earlier this year, has acquired urltoken. the announcement had been made internally as well as to partners, but connexity did not plan to make the deal public until the new year, after the holiday shopping season .
i am trying to get into the personal protection business. i would like to sell items like: stun guns, pepper spray, personal alarms etc. right now i only have stun guns. i listed one stun gun on shopzilla. com, registered as a seller, and pre paid $ 50 to their site. they cancelled my whole account within 24 hours. their reason was
my product is not a good fit for shopzilla
i received no refund. there are 6 stun guns still listed on their site exactly the same as the one i tried to list. and over 100 other stun guns as well. i have e - mailed them numerous times but nobody has told me why i was singled out. i even called them on the phone. the person i talked to said that wasn' t their department but somebody would call me back. they never called. experiencing this type of descrimination is new to me, and i don' t like it. especially since it was for no good reason. my stun gun was even a lower price than the ones already listed. i would never recommend shopzilla to anyone, and will never do business with them in the future. i would rate them no stars if i could .
urltoken and shopzilla / connexity are part of the wave of price - comparison online shopping aggregators that sprung up in the earlier days of the web, before google got a grip on offering the same kinds of services through their main search engine, and sites like ebay and amazon were less ubiquitous than they are today as aggregating marketplaces in their own rights. they, and their founders, all reached dizzying heights before crashing down to earth again .
i have been trying to ask questions about uploading my files onto this net work which was called shopzilla and peculiarly now called connexity. they took my $ 100 and never told me that my items didn’t qualify until i called them over 10 times due to the fact that i could no longer login to the system. this one person team, told me oh sorry your items don’t qualify. um, if my items didn’t qualify why did you take my money and why don’t you have a list of requirements? from my experience bad business and i don’t recommend it !
we have roi tracker installed on our website. we showed 44 clicks in a two day period, shopzilla says 1200 and costs us about $ 400. when questioning the discrepancy they claim they use affiliate sites to maximize our click throughs. when we asked for proof a list of vitors ip address something to substantiate there claims they do not give out that information. then asked for these so called affiliate websites so i can see what came from them that info' s not available either. i believe there product to be untrustworthy great idea but no return on investment .

urltoken is one of the older e - commerce aggregators out there. it was founded in 2004 and had raised $ 37. 2 million in funding from a list of well - known investors including rob conway and sv angel, tpg, and the european founders fund (one of the samwer brothers’ investment firms) .
it was also backed by its founder michael yang, who had previously started and sold mysimon (another price comparison site) to cnet for $ 700 million (you read that right: $ 700 million) .
so in 2011, the site was sold again, but this time going for only $ 165 million to symphony technology group, a private equity firm. stg has been slowly rebuilding the company since then .
the main idea behind the urltoken acquisition is to extend the reach of connexity’s shopping network to cover more eyeballs, and net in more traffic from e - commerce sites. the key with aggregation — where revenues are collected on how much traffic you refer to other sites — is scale .
become. com’s footprint is complementary to that of connexity’s. it aggregates traffic from online retailers and publishers in the u. s. , germany, u. k. , france, italy and japan. its business is split roughly 50% europe, 25% u. s. , 25% japan, paul martecchini, vp of marketing for connexity, said in the statement confirming the deal. while a lot of that build up existing traffic, japan will be a completely new market for connexity .
before the urltoken acquisition, connexity said it had a global audience of 50 million + monthly users, counting traffic both on its affiliate network as well as its own websites. significantly, that appears to be only 25 million more than the site had in 2010, a sign that it needs to do more to grow that business .
to that end, connexity has also made a string of acquisitions to build out more marketing tech, including buying the connexity business in february 2014. so, while it continues to grow its price aggregation footprint, it is also trying to make a shift to selling more of that marketing tech to retailers to use on their own sites .
