Book Price Compare Script

**Fearless** · 04-25-2006, 10:29 AM

I just bought bookstore.com. I'm looking for a script that compares the price for books at Amazon, Buy.com and others and displays results with my affiliate code embedded. Anyone had any experience with this?

I searched on sourceforge but didnt find any. You have a nice name.
You can do something like this: Crawl all the info related to books from those three sites and then make them as a AWS based site with your info (affliate included)

THis may compare and display the results with your affliate code embedded.

Thanks Pamela. It looks like www.allbookstores.com has the set up I'm looking for. I will likely have to get this custom made.

See Fearless: I think I was very close to what that site has done which you showed as an example.

For example:
http://www.allbookstores.com/Juvenil...rocodiles.html

They have compared prices then at http://www.allbookstores.com/book/compare/0140564209 and as i said with realtime crawl, they have added the compare online prices from several sites. and also a buy now feature with their affliate code embedded.

I don't think they crawl. I think they get a daily feed from the bookstores.

Thats what i mean Greg.

Crawl Realtime and Daily feed are the same thing.

They have made a script which takes out the listing from those 4 sites and then it compares,etc too.

I have done a similar project few years ago for a client and his project was something like this too.

He wanted a computer deals site from dell.com and a few more sites and then to compare so what I did was just made a script which got daily feed from the computer sites and then made a compare system to compare with the affliate ids integrated.
