About BizRate.com

Our Mission:

Our mission is to provide the world's best shopping search engine. To that end we strive to list every store and every product, with helpful price, availability and ratings information, so shoppers can find and confidently buy anything that is available for sale anywhere.

Who We Are:

Founded in 1996, BizRate.com is the largest, fastest and most accurate shopping search engine on the Web. With an index of over 30 million product offers from more than 40,000 stores, BizRate.com uses ShopRankTM, a proprietary shopping search algorithm, to produce the industry's most relevant search results by weighing price, popularity and availability of products, against the reputations of merchants that sell them. At the heart of ShopRankTM are BizRate.com's signature merchant and product ratings, collected from more than one million online buyers each month, making them the most reliable ratings on the Web. Every week, the BizRate.com shopping search engine prepares millions of shoppers to make smarter, more confident purchases and sends them directly to the checkout page of thousands of online merchants.

How We Make Money:

Stores are listed on BizRate.com Shopping Search regardless of whether they pay or not. ShopRankTM, our proprietary shopping search algorithm, orders store offers by relevance, weighing many factors like prices, popularity and availability of products, as well as the reputation of stores that sell them. Within equal relevance bands, stores that pay are listed above those that do not. In this way, consumers can be sure that they are always getting the most relevant results, and BizRate.com ensures that stores that pay for leads appear more prominently than those that don't when their offers are equally relevant to a shopping search query. BizRate.com is also a leading e-commerce research company and makes money selling marketing research.
