Beware comparison Web sites

Article Abstract:

Comparison shopping sites offer information on the best prices for online shopers who are overwhelmed by the number of Internet retail stores. However, comparison Web site may not be objective in the information that they provide to online shoppers. Many comparison sites such as Cnet, America Online Inc and Go Network search only online stores that pay to be on their listing, while others such as MySimon.com do exhaustive search but give premium placement to paying companies.
